If this is listeners&#8217; sponsored radio then we your listeners and supporters must be taken into account on such a major change of community focus.<\/p>\n<p>The Morning Mix is the most diverse group programmers on KPFA. It specifically keeps us informed on local issues and ways to organize with labor, the African American community, the Richmond community&#8217;s fight against Chevron, and Poor News Network campaigns. Though the stories covered by Project Censored are not always local, they are not heard on corporate media. It is better to have the variety that comes with a show like the Morning Mix than to turn over these 5 hours a week to single program,\u00a0Up Front.\u00a0Uprising\u00a0from LA could be combined and\/or alternated withUp Front\u00a0at the\u00a07:00AM\u00a0time slot.<\/p>\n<p>In this era of complete corporate control of the media, we can protect the few remaining independent media sources. Changing of the\u00a0Morning Mix\u00a0affects our access to local media control and a progressive media forum.<\/p>\n<p>The community wants the\u00a0Morning Mix\u00a0returned to its original time slot!<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>The Gray Panthers of San Francisco Board of Directors<\/p>\n<p>Patricia Jackson, Convener<\/p>\n<p>Michael Lyon, Treasurer<\/p>\n<p>Denise D\u2019Anne, Secretary<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Gray Panthers of San Francisco 2940 16th\u00a0Street, Room 200-4 San Francisco\u00a0CA 94103 415-552-8800,\u00a0graypanther-sf@sonic.net &nbsp; KPFA 1929 Martin Luther King Jr Way Berkeley, California\u00a094704 &nbsp; Dear Richard Pirodsky, Interim General Manager, As a long-time supporters of KPFA, even prior to &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unitedforcommunityradio.org\/?p=1321\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"sfsi_plus_gutenberg_text_before_share":"","sfsi_plus_gutenberg_show_text_before_share":"","sfsi_plus_gutenberg_icon_type":"","sfsi_plus_gutenberg_icon_alignemt":"","sfsi_plus_gutenburg_max_per_row":"","_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[157,159,180,168,64,68,69,78,164,85,97,100,153,179,162,139,140],"class_list":["post-1321","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-announcement","tag-andres-soto","tag-anthony-fest","tag-davey-d","tag-gray-panthers","tag-kpfa","tag-kpfk","tag-kpft","tag-mickey-huff","tag-morning-mix","tag-pacifica","tag-peter-phillips","tag-project-censored","tag-sabrina-jacobs","tag-steve-zeltzer","tag-uprising","tag-wbai","tag-wpfw"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.unitedforcommunityradio.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1321","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.unitedforcommunityradio.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.unitedforcommunityradio.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.unitedforcommunityradio.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.unitedforcommunityradio.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1321"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.unitedforcommunityradio.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1321\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1323,"href":"http:\/\/www.unitedforcommunityradio.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1321\/revisions\/1323"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.unitedforcommunityradio.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1321"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.unitedforcommunityradio.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1321"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.unitedforcommunityradio.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1321"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
