"FSRN" was a radio program founded by Pacifica Reporters Against Censorship, a group of mostly "Pacifica Network News" reporters who went on strike against the Pacifica board policies of the late 1990s. "FSRN" was primarily funded by Pacifica, and includes headlines and news features produced by reporters based around the U.S. and in scores of countries around the world. In September 2013, the board of directors of FSRN issued a lay-off notice to all staff, and confirmed that their last broadcast would take place on September 27, 2013. The board cited financial difficulties as the reason for the decision. In 2006, Pacifica added two new national programs: "From the Vault" from the Pacifica Radio Archives, a weekly program that thematically repackages archival material, making it relevant to contemporary listeners; and "Informativo Pacifica", based at KPFK in Los Angeles, a daily Spanish-language newscast that includes reporters from the U.S. and many Latin American countries. Local Pacifica stations produce many programs that are available to network stations and affiliates. These include: "Sprouts", a weekly showcase of producers and stations around the network, often in documentary format; "Explorations in Science" with Dr. Michio Kaku, a weekly radio program on science, politics, and the environment; Dennis Bernstein's "Flashpoints" a daily drive-time public affairs program; and many other regular programs. Pacifica also produces a wide variety of special broadcasts, including live coverage of major U.S. Congressional hearings, national mobilizations against war, and other important events, such as the United States Social Forum. Special programs also include news documentaries, holidays and commemorations, and archival audio from the Pacifica Radio Archives. The Pacifica-owned stations are listed below in alphabetical order by state and city of license. Note: All stations except for WBAI were built and signed-on by the Pacifica Foundation.
