The message quoted in the message below is NOT I repeat NOT good advice. Lest we forget the PD at KPFT Mary Ramierez is Garland Ganter's subordinate and only just turned in her resignation as KPFT PD. Unless you want KPFK to be turned into The Sounds of Silverlake or the Talk of the Valley I would take this reccommendation as wishfull thinking on someone's part.
