Update on Save KLSD: The Film

An update from our friends Jen Douglas and Jon Monday…

Save KLSD: Media Consolidation and Radio

First, we want to thank all those who have contributed to the Save KLSD project. It has provided support that allowed us to expand the scope and depth of the film. We especially want to thank those who contributed more than once.

Jen and Jon went to Minneapolis and filmed events and interviews at the Nation Conference on Media Reform. Look for clips from Bill Moyers, Phil Donahue, Arianna Huffington, Dan Rather, Amy Goodman, local CPR San Diego representatives, and many more. Drew continued working on editing clips, working on an updated website, and is gathering archive footage. We now have a working script outline, and have begun matching the hundreds of hours of tape to the script.

Here is an exclusive announcement: progressive talk host and all around cool person, Bree Walker has agreed to narrate “Save KLSD”.  We are nearing completion of videotaping and scripting, and expect to release the film as a DVD and will hold a local screening event later this year; well before the election.

Many of you know the fabulous Bree Walker — she worked as a news anchor/reporter in San Diego , LA , and New York, and acted in film and TV. Bree appeared at Save KLSD rallies last year and is a passionate advocate for media reform.  BTW: She also is the owner of Camp Casey , Cindy Sheehan’s former property next to President’s Bush ranch in Crawford , Texas . Word has it that she has big plans for the location. To keep up with Bree, read her blog at http://breewalker.org/blog. We are thrilled that Bree will be the voice of Save KLSD: The Film!

Stay tuned for a new and improved Save KLSD website, http://www.saveklsd.com, and go there now for a short preview video of the film and to make a donation enabling us to complete and distribute the film.

Did you hear that the current KLSD radio (SPORTS TALK) is in the ratings gutter? For that news and regular updates on progressive talk in San Diego and the U.S. , go to Jennifer’s new blog, http://jennifercdouglas.blogspot.com.

Stay in touch.

Many small donations, ranging from $5 to $250 have enabled us to produce the documentary. To donate any amount, simply click on this link and securely donate through PayPal using your PayPal account or any credit card:

You can also mail a check to:

Save KLSD, LLC
P.O. Box 43
Bonsall, CA 92003

Each person who donates at least $20 will have their name mentioned in the film credits as a Save KLSD supporter. Each person who donates $100 or more will receive a Save KLSD t-shirt, a copy of the finished DVD autographed by the producers, and credit in the film as an Associate Producer.  A documentary can’t create change by itself, but it can enlighten, inspire, and lead to change. We believe in the power of media.

The producers will donate $1.00 from the sale of each DVD to organizations who are fighting against media consolidation.

Thank you for your consideration.

Drew, Jen, Jon
