Founded on April 15, 1949, KPFA 94.1 FM is the United States' first listener-supported radio station and the flagship of the Pacifica Radio Network. Broadcasting from Berkeley to the wider San Francisco Bay Area, it features progressive news, in-depth public affairs, and eclectic music programming rooted in a tradition of free expression and community journalism. From early broadcasts of Allen Ginsberg's poetry to launching Democracy Now!, KPFA has long been a trailblazer in independent, non-commercial radio.
