Who we are
CAMPAIGN FOR PROGRESSIVE RADIO – We are a San Diego-based grassroots network dedicated to supporting and promoting local radio programs that present a diversity of non-conservative viewpoints representing all people in San Diego County. Short term, our goal is to get progressive voices back on the San Diego air waves on existing stations, following the demise of KLSD, San Diego’s only progressive station. Long term, we seek to establish a new high-power radio station with 100% progressive programming. CPR’s website will also provide links for listeners to other radio and online media outlets offering progressive points of view.

Save KLSD: The Film – Nearing completion
A documentary about how corporate influence corrupts government regulation, limits the free flow of information, and adversely effects American democracy.
The producers of this film report that they are nearing the end of the filming stage. This film is about how media consolidation has affected radio and our democracy, wanted to give you an update on our progress. It tells that story “through the events that led up to the demise of KLSD as San Diego’s only Progressive Talk station – as the owners of the station, Clear Channel, flipped the format to Sports Talk.”
They also point out: “It’s interesting to note that the latest ratings of the station are so low that they don’t even show up in the listings, which is the first time that’s happened in the history of the station.”
You can watch an updated preview clip at: www.saveklsd.com/KLSD_Preview.wmv
Please visit their web site (www.saveklsd.com) and consider a donation to help with the cost of production (details on their site).

How to listen to streaming radio
One easy way of hearing your favorite programs is by using your computer and its speakers as a radio. A WiFi connection helps to get the best audio quality, but decent audio quality can be had for spoken word with even a low-speed dial-up connection (but watch the phone bill). There are many audio players that can be downloaded from the internet for free and used for streaming. I recommend iTunes and Winamp for best features and fewest problems. I would stay away from RealPlayer and Windows Media Player because they crash often and give poor audio quality. Some streaming sources will require you to use a certain type of player, so you may not have a choice. The iTunes has a good selection of “radio” streams you can browse including “Talk”, where you will find Air America and KPFK (Pacifica community radio) among others. To hear your favorite programs streaming through your computer’s speakers, just find out when it is broadcast live, then find a website that carries live streaming audio. Click on the link, and usually that’s it. Here are a few good sources of streaming audio for some of the most popular shows:
