Help An International Radio Station Funded Directly and Only By The Public

 There are many different radio stations that you can listen to on the world wide web these days.  Does it make a difference to you to have the opportunity to choose what you listen to?  Do you care about whether or not someone else controls what you listen to?  How would you like to have an actual say in what you listen to on the radio?

So many people have started listening to more CDs and other types of music, news and books rather than turning on the radio because they have so little control over what they get to hear.  KPFT keeps up the fight to change this and give the public a voice.
