KPFA Radio put at risk by $1.8 million judgment against Pacifica Foundation
Dec. 28, 2017 – Legendary KPFA Radio , 94.1 FM, in Berkeley has reportedly been placed at risk due to $ 1.8 million awarded in a summary judgment to Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. . Additionally, attorney's fees against the Pacifica Foundation and WBAI Radio in New York, KPFA's sister station in the Pacifica network, have been granted because of a feud over alleged unfair, unreasonable and exorbitant annual increases in the rent for situating the station's transmitter at the top of the Empire State Building in New York City.
