Program Schedule
The purpose of WPFW-FM Pacifica is to provide outlets for the creative skills
and energies of the community, to contribute to a lasting understanding between
individuals of all nations, races, creeds and colors, and to promote the full
distribution of public information.
Programming on WPFW will principally be a mix of jazz, Third World music,
news and public affairs.
The airwaves at 89.3 will be an accessible media outlet for Blacks, Hispanics,
cultural groups, women, seniors, youth and other ethnic and non-traditional
groups. WPFW programming will make the concept of community radio real by providing
the local majority population with important and relevant education, information
and entertainment. Through its programming the station will act as a networking
agent for the community at large.
WPFW's air will be commercial free and in conformance with Pacifica Foundation
resolutions prohibiting commercial under- writing of programming.
Programming will lend itself to an on-air listener participation, will strive
to exemplify journalistic integrity, and will work toward being engaging and
intellectually stimulating.
Jazz, a major American art form which grows from the African-American experience,
will be the major music programming. WPFW will act as archivist, educator, and
entertainer on behalf of this under served national cultural resource.
WPFW is dedicated to programming which reflects progressive social change
and democracy. The station will continue and further a global, humanistic, and
futuristic approach to news, public affairs, the creative arts and cultural
programming. Internally WPFW will work to upgrade the quality of work at all
levels.
Our continued use of and high regard for volunteers will provide an opportunity
for individual skill development in radio broadcast techniques, and broadcast
management. Volunteer opportunities will be available in most areas of program
administration. |
