Wednesday Night

Program Night for Wednesday Night April 19, 2023

Notes:

1) It is a sad day in the media world that the so called Fox "News", Rupert Murdock, and its lying hosts escaped testifying in the court.

2) LA festival of Books will occur this weekend, 22 and 23 of April, at USC, and kpfk will be at booth number 887. I will be there on Sunday from 10am-2pm and will be happy to see you there.

3) Fundraising: Dear Something's happening (SH) listeners, Kpfk is in the middle of its third week of spring fund drive . Let me share with you the stats so far: the cumulative amount up to now is $60K, and during Something's Happening hours, $1882 has been raised. You might be skeptical of the situation at the station and its building, which is for sale, and needs a lot of repairs and retrofits. Let me share with you that I am NOT married to a building; I care about the signal, which is intact and will not be affected by whether the building is sold or not. Let’s make sure we will have a kpfk on the air. You know kpfk very well—it’s been on the air for over 63 years. I want to encourage you to make a generous contribution to the station and become a monthly sustainer. Something’s Happening show has been on the air for 45 years with Roy Tuckman! So, I want to plea with you to make a generous contribution during SH program, 12 midnight to 6 am, by calling 818-985-7535 or go to kpfk.org, click on DONATE button, and follow a few easy steps to make your generous contribution. Can one of you donate a $1000, can another one you donate $500, how about $250, and of course your generous $50 is most welcomed. kpfk is here for you and because of you. Please call 818-985-7535 or go to kpfk.org, click on DONATE button, and make your generous contribution. I have not compromised content for the sake of fundraising and pitching. I need your financial support during these hours.

Also, I am still looking for one person to make a generous $250K contribution; it can be monthly payments, to help the station and foundation out. So, please call 818-985-7535 or go to kpfk.org. I will welcome your $100K as well as $50 contribution; however, I am looking for one person, you, who has lifelong benefited from the programming, to make a generous $250K contribution. Please call 818-985-7535 or go to kpfk.org.
