Pacifica is KPFA in Berkeley, CA; KPFK in Los Angeles, CA; KPFT in Houston, TX; WBAI in New York, NY; WPFW in Washington DC; and over 100 affiliate stations. Founded in 1949 as a visionary alternative to commercially-driven media, we pioneered listener-sponsored, community radio and have been a beacon for noncommercial, free media.

We strive to contribute to the democratic process through public discourse and promotion of culture.
