This is another great reason why national needs to take control of the five stations and finally make us a network. If WPFW is planning to play jazz during the hearings, rather than say... take a lead roll in informing the country, it would be a sad waste of a Pacifica station.

I should have read the rest of my email first - KPFT webpage announces a program pre-emption for Friday, and does not mention HD2, so it sounds like KPFT is carrying the hearing live on FM 90.1, starting at 9am CST.

It's short notice, but I really think that this kind of thing is what makes our stations stand out. It's hosted by KPFA and I'm very happy to hear that WBAI is carrying the show. I don't know about the other three.

DESCRIPTION: For the last several years, many progressives - including a handful of Congress members - have called for the impeachment of President George W. Bush. But they have been stymied by six years of Republican majority followed by a Democratic leadership that took impeachment "off the table." That may be changing. This Friday, the House Judiciary Committee will take the first step to investigate what Rep. John Conyers calls "numerous credible allegations of serious misconduct." Pacifica Radio will broadcast the hearing live, starting at 9:00am EDT (6:00am PDT), <<snip>> While the panel of committee guests isn't completely confirmed, some expected speakers include: Several Congress members: Dennis Kucinich, Jane Harman, Walter Jones, Brad Miller, and Maurice Hinchey Several non-Congress Members: Elizabeth Holtzman, Bruce Fein, Frederick Schwartz, John Dean, Bob Barr, Ralph Nader, Rocky Anderson -- Nathan Moore Network Programming Coordinator Pacifica Radio <cuitlacoche1@ yahoo.com> wrote: Am I stupid or did I just receive an email from Impeachment. org reporting a congressional impeachment hearing this Friday, July 25 at 10 AM EST. I've not heard this from any other sources, but if true, all five stations need to simulcast it. K
