KEXP Morning Show Protests Public Media Cuts
Around the Horn
WERS/Boston morning show host George Knight shared in an email to listeners that he is battling throat cancer, and he just completed a long stretch of radiation and chemotherapy. “Through the process, I’ve done my best to keep the effect on the morning show that I love so much to a minimum, but the reality is that I could only hold out for so long,” Knight wrote. “I hope you will forgive me if there have been days when my voice was sounding off and when perhaps it would have been smarter to refrain from posting on social media with my weary and fatigued mug. I’ve done my best to put on a happy face.” Knight went on to express his gratitude to the WERS staff for their encouragement and support… After returning to his afternoon show at The SoCal Sound recently, Matt Pinfield also returned to host his syndicated program, Flashback With Matt Pinfield, over the weekend. The veteran broadcaster is back behind the mic after recovering from a massive stroke in January. “I am so excited to be back hosting my show, Flashback, and I am so proud to be here in my 13th year,” Pinfield said. “I’m so grateful to be alive and back with my great family at Westwood One! Thank you to the amazing Leslie Fram, who has been covering for me since my stroke. I am getting better every day and am ready to be back on the air doing what I love.”… WFPK/Louisville celebrated Father’s Day by airing a Dad Rock Weekend on Saturday and Sunday. The programming included songs about dads and songs for dads, from Steve Miller to Bruce Springsteen, Steely Dan to Wilco, and everything in between… Tyler Childers will release his new album, Snipe Hunter, on July 25 via Hickman Holler/RCA. Snipe Hunter is produced by Rick Rubin with additional production from Childers and Sylvan Esso’s Nick Sanborn… Beach Boys founding member Brian Wilson died last week at the age of 82. Responsible for penning over 200 songs, including most of the band's hits such as "Good Vibrations," "I Get Around," and "God Only Knows." Wilson was instrumental in their success serving as both arranger and producer on some of the Beach Boys' most successful recordings. While not disclosing a cause of death, the Wilson family release the following statement: "We are at a loss for words right now. Please respect our privacy at this time as our family is grieving. We realize that we are sharing our grief with the world." Wilson was nominated for nine Grammy awards, winning two, and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. He also is a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame... Due to severe weather in Tennessee, the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival was forced to cancel most of this year’s event on Friday night (6/13). After evacuating the performance area earlier in the afternoon, the cancellation announcement was made on social media at 7:30 p.m. local time Friday night. After giving direction on how to clear the site in an orderly fashion, allowing campers to stay until Saturday, the organizers also guaranteed ticket holders full refunds on unused single day passes and pro-rated refunds on full-festival passes.
In response to the recently House of Representatives-approved recission request that aims to revoke over $1.1 billion in funding that had already been approved to support public media through 2027, on Thursday, June 12, KEXP/Seattle morning DJs John Richards and Morgan Chosnyk began their regularly scheduled morning show at 7 a.m. PDT and stayed on-air for a 27-hour marathon to defend public media. The hosts played music along with other KEXP DJs, took listener requests, and talked with staff, listeners, and other public media figures about the importance of public media to our nation.

“This isn’t just about KEXP, and it’s about a lot more than music,” said Richards, host of the Morning Show on KEXP and Creative Director for On-Air programming. “We’re just one part of a collection of stations that’s more than a thousand strong, all of us working to make our listeners’ lives better - through local and national news, entertainment, and of course music discovery. Millions of people depend on public media, and if we all stand up together for this system we’ve built over the past 60+ years, there’s no way they can ignore us.”
The KEXP Gathering Space at Seattle Center remained open to the public through the entire 27-hour period for anyone who wished to comment or listen.
Additionally, KEXP is asking for listeners to visit the Protect My Public Media website where they can contact their members of Congress and urge them to vote against this bill, as well as sign up for updates to stay informed on how to protect local public radio and TV stations.
