PACIFICA RADIO BOARD OF DIRECTORS VOTE TO SUPPORT RFPI
To many listeners it would seem logical that an alliance between
Pacifica Radio and RFPI would take place. Pacifica Radio was founded by
pacifist Lew Hill in 1949 -- its network of five FM stations and
affiliates remain the backbone of progressive media in the U.S.
On October 1st, the Pacifica Board of Directors held their annual
meeting in Washington, D.C. On the agenda was a proposal to use
Pacifica's help to re-establish RFPI’s shortwave operation at a cost of
$250,000. RFPI’s General Manager James Latham and RFPI Advisory Board
member Chuck Scurich were invited to give a presentation outlining the
shortwave broadcast project, its cost and time line. “We pointed out
at the meeting the common goals of the two organizations and our
similar and shared programming.” said James Latham, RFPI's General
Manager.
Proceeding the proposal and board meeting were months of weekly
meetings after a team of RFPI advisors and staff was formed to hammer
out the details. Contact with several of the Pacifica Board was
established in order to run the different options by them. The
teamwork effort paid off with the Pacifica Board members voting
unanimously on the proposal.
“With the support of Pacifica Radio we could comfortably see the return
of Pacifica and RFPI programming to shortwave in six to 12 months. This
also indicates a forward-looking collaborative approach for both
organizations and an assured increase in listenership.” said James
Latham.
