Coverage of Protest at UNM Against Ending KUNM as a Free Form Station.
Description:
A report covering a rally of over 400 KUNM volunteers and supportors at the UNM Administration Building to save KUNM as free form radio. The report also mentions a phone threat against KUNM that initiated police screening people entering the building and blocking volunteers at the station. The protest was about getting rid of hours of local free form programs and replacing it with national shows, and dismissing local radio DJ volunteers, which protesters clearly felt was a generic and limited alternative to free-form radio. They demand reinstatement of suspended employees and susspension of plans to end free form format. The names of the suspended DJ are called out at the protest and are included in this recording.
