Founded in 1949 by pacifist-poet-journalist Lewis Hill, KPFA was the first community-supported radio station in the United States. Much of our programming is local, original, and eclectic, with a well-produced mix of news and in-depth public affairs; an ongoing drama, literature, and performance series; as well as interviews and reviews. Our music ranges from folk to hip hop and from Bach to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
Since our founding, we have investigated the contemporary intersections of class, race, and distribution of wealth and its effects on the citizens of our Northern and Central California FM coverage area. We’ve advanced discussions and told the truth about historical moments of political impasse, racial tensions, and economic inequality.
