BILL GRAHAM MEMORIAL FOUNDATION--Grant Recipients

KPFA Radio was the first listener-sponsored non-commercial radio stationin the United States. It is the flagship of the 5-station Pacifica Radio Network. KPFA broadcasts at 59,000 watts, and was founded in 1949 as an alternative to the corporate media. KPFA still accepts no advertising or underwriting of any kind. Instead, we rely upon our listener/subscribers whose donations account for 85% of KPFA‚s $2.6 annual budgeted income. This independent funding base allows us to present programs thatare free of any influences that can affect the content of our shows. KPFA's programming is eclectic, with a mix of news and public affairs, music, and arts and culture shows as our daily schedule. KPFA is a community-based radio station; most of our programming is presented by volunteer producer/hosts who are experts in their chosen fields.
