Mary Katherine, I certainly agree with you that KPFK doesn't seem to know how to treat people, when it purports to be a station of the people. I read on the KPFK board that John and Deanne were criticised for not agreeing with the station - doesn't it dawn on their listeners that is also what the station is supposed to stand for? And how about the cancellation coming just after a pledge drive ........
But enough ranting -- I think internet radio will be our salvation, since it can reach the audiences that most radio/tv will ignore.
My hope is that webcasting will improve and I will be able to watch the groups that do not come through Chicago.
I certainly want to thank you for all you have done on the Alive and Picking site, previously on KPFK and elsewhere to keep folk music alive.
In the meantime, I guess I will contiue to listen to Ben and the Larmans on Sat am.
Chris in Chicago
p.s. Chicago folkie Mark Dvorak is on River City Folk this week - don't miss it!
