Professor Dick Flacks writes of the next broadcast of KCSB’s “Culture of Protest” (Thursday, August 28, 6-7pm): “We mark the 45th anniversary of the Great March on Washington for jobs and freedom. In addition to ‘I have a dream,’ you’ll hear a variety of other voices reflecting the lost memory that the March was the result of a diverse coalition of leadership, and that King’s was one of voice of many. And snippets of music by Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Marian Anderson, Odetta, and Peter Paul and Mary will break through. I am sure Obama will wait to deliver his speech until our program ends.”

New Emergency Information Service: To better serve Santa Barbara County residents during natural disasters or public safety threats, KCSB 91.9 FM has entered into a partnership with the Santa Barbara Independent. Our news departments will work together during fire, flood, or earthquake to offer up-to-the-minute information — on KCSB’s airwaves and online at independent.com/indyalert. Go to this link to sign up to have alert notices sent automatically to your cell phone or email system.
Unlike most commercial radio stations, KCSB is not automated and has programmers in the control room 24/7. This unique commitment to live programming — together with the radio station’s mission of community service — makes KCSB a perfect partner for The Independent during emergencies. Both KCSB and The Independent were important sources of information during the recent Gap Fire.
“Radio has proven to be the only stable medium during significant public emergencies,” said KCSB’s Chief Engineer Bryan Brown. “KCSB is the only local station with trained staff on-hand 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, who are able to pass on important information during times of crisis.”
On Saturday, August 23rd, Club Mercy and KCSB present Black Francis, live in concert at Velvet Jones Nightclub in downtown Santa Barbara. Frontman for the Pixies, Black Francis (also known as Frank Black) will share the bill with Santa Barbara art-rockers The Coral Sea. Showtime is 9pm.
Velvet Jones is at 423 State Street in Santa Barbara. For advance tickets to this 21 and over concert, or for more information, go to clubmercy.com.
