Urban Unrest

Tune in this week at the end of Open Journal for Survivor to Survivor, a series produced by Surviving Katrina and Rita in Houston for this week’s Katrina anniversary. It should air around 12:52, Monday-Thursday.

Current reports former KPFT PD and current KUOW PD Jeff Hansen is being blasted at his Seattle digs for “dumbing down” programming. Though I can’t weigh in on Ken Vincent’s criticisms, it’s good to see the flak KPFT PDs receive follows them long after their Pacifica tenures (just kidding, Jeff!).

The next Pacifica National Board meeting, previously scheduled in New York City, is being moved in Berkeley. Among many factors, NYC bookings in late September have proven nearly impossible to find.

If you’re a television viewer, you may want to note the following: KUHT is playing The Anti-Americans (a hate/love relationship) tonight at 10. Description is as follows: “Why does Europe hate us? It’s a question that comes to mind for many Americans when they see polls proclaiming that one out of two Europeans sees America as playing a mainly negative role in the world. This program not only explores this pointed query with disarming humor, but also provides powerful insight, told from the ‘other’ point of view.” For digital cable customers, earlier in the evening, the Sundance Channel is airing Guerrilla Girl tonight at 8.
