Pacifica Radio in
Berkeley is adding a one-hour
AlJazeera program to its morning program on the news side of independent
KPFA.
Stations in
NY and
Houston will also add the Arabic-language news service, which is backed by
by the government of Qatar in the Persian Gulf.
Somehow, we're surprised that its taken this long for an outlet like
KPFA, or
KQED, for that matter to add
AlJazeera content to its English-speaking stations; Middle East issues, notably the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a common topic and of major interest in the Bay Area.
