Edwards-Tiekert and his co-host of the Morning Show, Aimee Allison, were laid off this week, an action that has sparked an outcry as well as an Unfair Labor Practices Charge with the National Labor Relations Board. In place of the two hour show, KPFA is airing KPFK&#8217;s 7-9 am line up: Sojourner Truth and Uprising. The Morning Show says they are &#8220;KPFA&#8217;s largest fundraiser, accounting for about 25% of total dollars pledged,&#8221; and that they &#8220;have the largest audience of any program produced at KPFA.&#8221; Why then was the staff of the Morning Show laid off? To answer that and other questions we turn now to Arlene Engelhardt, the Executive Director of Pacifica, and the person who directly ordered the lay-offs. <\/p>\n<p><em>GUEST: Arlene Engelhardt, Executive Director of Pacifica Radio<\/em><\/p>\n<p>More information at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pacifica.org\">www.pacifica.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Listen to Uprising&#8217;s interview with Brian Edwards-Tiekert here: <a href=\"http:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/?p=17088\">http:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/?p=17088<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday we spoke with Brian Edwards Tiekert, host of the Morning Show at KPFA, our sister station in Berkeley and also the oldest station in the Pacifica network.
