An Appeal From DJ Carolyn

Hi.

The fight is still on to save KUSF 90.3fm

Please write a letter of support. Here is a form
letter, just add your name and address and mail it. If you prefer to write
your own, please do. I encourage it.

Dear Sir:

I am writing to express my opposition to the University of San Francisco’s recent decision to sell the broadcast license for 90.3 fm where KUSF currently sits. KUSF is a valuable resource to the City of San Francisco. The station’s locally produced programming exemplifies the unique diversity and eclecticism that is San Francisco. KUSF broadcasts in nine different languages giving a voice to those who have few other outlets through which they can be heard. President Privett’s blatant disregard for the people of San Francisco through this sale and the way it was handled is shameful.

Although corporate deals involving commercial stations are common, frequencies in the public radio range should be treated differently. These stations are specifically set aside by the federal government for community service and noncommercial purposes. The transfer of these licenses should not to happen without input from the community which the station serves. The University of San Francisco sought no community input in its decision to sell the frequency.

The University of San Francisco and the community of San Francisco should come to a mutually beneficial solution in order to allow KUSF to remain intact on the broadcast dial at 90.3 fm.

Sincerely,

(your name)

If you're not too exhausted after all that, I am DJing at the Casanova
Lounge, 527 Valencia St, SF on TUESDAY, February 1, 6 to 9 pm. Come on
down. The music will be loud, the drinks will be cheap, there will be
dancing on the bar and I'll even play THE DAMNED if they send in their
KUSF letter.

Thanks!
