Community Radio WEFT is holding a special meeting and teach-in on the ongoing travails at Pacifica this Thursday, Feb. 1, at 7:00 PM at the Illinois Disciples Foundation, at the Northwest corner of Springfield and Wright in Champaign (IL). The meeting is sponsored by the WEFT Associates, which is the democratic body of the station’s volunteers, and the meeting’s focus is the effect Pacifica’s troubles have on the station and how the station might handle it. I will be speaking on the history of Pacifica, trying to give some insight into how the organization ended up in such turmoil. If I’m feeling ambitious, perhaps I’ll try to encapsulate some of these thoughts here.
