Randolph Heaster column in Star talks of changes at KKFI.
Labor leaders encouraged by changes at radio stationA change in management at Kansas City's community radio station has encouraged those who produce "Heartland Labor Forum," the longtime program devoted to issues affecting labor and workers.
A June 8, 2004 article in the Star Business section talks of the changes at KKFI.
"Earlier this spring, KKFI (90.1 FM) elected a new board of directors that includes a volunteer from the labor program as well as supporters of Friends of Community Radio. That group was formed two years ago to fight changes that new management was making in programming. Friends of Community Radio filed a lawsuit contending that KKFI's new leadership was steering the station toward a more commercial format while eliminating more community-oriented programming."
Since then, a new board has drafted new bylaws to restore democratic governance and establish grievance procedures at the station, said Judy Ancel, director of the Institute of Labor Studies, which sponsors “Heartland Labor Forum.”
“The board elected in April has shown a great deal of interest in providing a much more participative structure in setting policy,” said Ancel, host of the labor program. “They've established a much clearer mission statement, and there's a renewed spirit of cooperation at KKFI.”
