Pacifica Turns Down Funds to Bring Back KPFA Morning Show

The Executive Director of the Pacifica Foundation has turned down $60,000 in pledges to reinstate the KPFA Morning Show. Englehardt laid off Morning Show hosts Aimee Allison and Brian Edwards-Tiekert last November, citing financial concerns. The move sparked a listener uproar, union grievances and charges at the National Labor Relations Board. Mark Mericle has the story.
