Programming, 1949-1990, undated

 Series 5

The bulk of this series consists of letters from KPFA listeners, which give general comments and specific programming complaints, praise and requests. Letters from Marion Wylie are filed seperately because she was a regular and frequent writer, whose epistles appear to have been routinely posted on the Pacifica billboard. Letters from prisoners in the listening area requesting free subscriptions can also be found in this series. Apart from listener mail, there are memos and correspondence covering topics such as the Ku Klux Klan's right to broadcast, the recording of contemporary philosophers, and opposition to the airing of popular rather than classical music. Some programming schedules are also included. This series also contains transcripts of programs, some of which caused FCC problems for Pacifica. The material in this series is arranged alphabetically by file name and chronologically within each file.
