Inhaltsangabe

Pacifica Radio traces the cultural and political currents that shaped America's first listener-supported, public radio network, which began with KPFA-FM in Berkeley. For fifty years, Pacifica has introduced diverse and controversial programs, while struggling against social and political conformity.
In this expanded paperback edition, Lasar provides a postscript ("A Crisis of Containment") that examines the external pressures and organizational problems within the Pacifica Foundation that led to the police shutdown of network station KPFA. Lasar, an admittedly pro-KPFA partisan in the conflict, gives a first-person account, calling it "the worst crisis in the history of community radio."
