Welcome to the home page of the KPFA Local Station Board.
The Local Station Board (LSB) is the community governing board for KPFA. Established by the Pacifica network bylaws, ratified in 2003, local station boards exist at each of the five stations in the network.
This site is the repository for LSB matters and contains minutes of meetings and related documents dating to 2004. It is the LSB's intention to make available to listeners material relevant to the operation of KPFA, to allow listeners to be informed and engaged in the running of the first listener-supported radio station in the United States.
Please note: The LSB website is currently being renovated. Material is being transferred from the old website and may not yet be available here. If you are looking for a particular item and do not find it, please contact the board.
For more information about the nuts and bolts of the local station board, see About the LSB.
The Local Station Board welcomes participation from all listeners. Monthly LSB meetings always allow a 30-minute period for commentary from listeners. Between meetings, email is the best way to contact the board, but you may also leave a voice mail message at 510-848-6767, extension 635.
