KPFK to meet to discuss programming and needed are Public Members to attend too

Straight from the KPFK website:

"Listener Forum, Programming Oversight Committee
Sunday, November 22 2009, 5:00pm - 7:00pm by tgoodman Hits : 72

"The Programming Oversight Committee (PrOC) of the KPFK Local Station Board (LSB) will be convening a Listener Forum to discuss the recent programming changes instituted at KPFK. Following a brief presentation by the Interim Program Director, Alan Minsky, the floor will be open for listener questions and comments.

"Sunday, November 22, 2009, 5 - 7:00 pm
Echo Park United Methodist Church
1226 North Alvarado, Los Angeles 90026"

=================================

Remember that PUBLIC MEMBERS can attend LSB open meetings and have a brief time space given in which to voice their comments, concerns, suggestions. The time is shared by how many voices there are that want to speak to those officials who PRETEND they represent US sponsors. [ they are called LSB members]

Since it appears that the LSB crowd doesnt do much of any outreach to get actual information from those who pay for the station's survival, and they dont do surveys, nor polls, nor have any group meetings to gather information from KPFK sponsors and listeners....

and since it appears that each LSB person voices mostly [if not only] their personal views and desires / demands at meetings, it is very IMPORTANT for more interested stakeholders, sponsors, and those of us involved in KPFK, attend and say something of value.

The usual way is that a bit of time, like 30 min is alotted and spread amongst those Public Members who want to have their say divided up equally. Sometimes, it may be 2X 30" periods interspersed within the meeting time. Hopefully the comments given are helpful, relevant and clear.

But dont expect action to be taken on your voiced views ! as this may hardly ever happen.

But just "TO BE HEARD" instead of just be 'passively listening" to those more powerful ones who demand to be heard [on air] is a feat in itself.

I encourage anyone who can refrain from angry outbursts, irrelevant topics and scapegoating acts to attend and see what happens at LSB meetings and to say what is necessary and useful.

Try it, you may not like it ....but you may feel better for having tried to improve OUR STATION as a community coming together anyway.

S.O.S. Save Our Station Now ! KPFK insiders = speak OUT to us all, please ! Drop those secret ways !

a few of US, KPFK workers, volunteers, contributors, Sponsor-Owners have heard bits and pieces of rumors, of strange disapearances, of missing staff, of the KPKF building being sold off or used as collateral for other people's debts...

and yet we cannot get any information at our 'low' level....

do you have any info you can share with us?

know anyone on LSB whose address can be shared so we can inquire further?

know anyone who is "talking" or "leaking" as there seems to be a GAG ORDER
or else the secrecy and dark holes we cannot see thru might be more visible ??

are you part of the conspiracy, getting-together-to-plan KPFK's life or demise or changes?

what are you willing to do to help Expose what we are left out of, deliberately being excluded tho we are called "pledge-$$$$-contributor-owners" of OUR KPFK STATION ?

anything ?

please share if you will, if you can...

also see articles found on www.la.indymedia.org about KPFK ..

where else is anything being written about what is happening w/o transparency and what is occuring under Other's / Insiders-Only Control ?

is it all happening without any input from those of us who have given tooooo much love, energy, time, money, heartfelt dedication and more to maintaining the morality of this organisation ?

S.O.S. save our station.....now ! tell us how....
