Programs and Services offered by Pacifica Affiliate Network


I can’t imagine KZYX without Pacifica programming, which is an indispensable part of our programming schedule, giving voice to progressive perspectives that are almost completely absent from mainstream media.

PROGRESSIVE GRASSROOTS PROGRAMMING – Pacifica Network affiliation entitles your station to receive all program services, regardless of your fee level. We bring you breaking news and in-depth exploration of today’s world events, as well as local community life, issues, and culture:


“Listeners appreciate hearing the same story told by different voices. We provide programs that wouldn’t otherwise be heard in our listening area, programs such as Democracy Now! and independently produced programs such as Counterspin and Making Contact. Without these programs, stations are missing a public service opportunity and a big fundraising source.”
