The fans of "Beaker Street" are angry and motivated! There are currently several individuals making efforts to put pressure on KKPT's station management, in an effort to convince them to keep the program on the air, or to find another station to pick it up. Here are some links, if you are interested.
"Keep Beaker Street Alive" on Facebook (created less than two days ago, and already boasts 158+ members):
"Beaker Street/Clyde Clifford Fans" Facebook Page:
This Facebook page currently has 914 members.
If every member, as well as readers of this blog site would write and/or call KKPT, that would certainly put some pressure on the management. KKPT 94.1 "The Point" has all live programming and many of us feel that "Beaker Street" belongs there. As I wrote on one of those pages, "Beaker Street" is living radio history. When it does go off of the air, Clyde Clifford, his legion of fans, and the program itself deserve to have a proper send-off, such as Larry King had on CNN. I'm listing the link for KKPT below. If you are so inclined, please take a few moments to write or call the station, and express your support for this groundbreaking program to remain on the air (and on the World Wide Web) in Little Rock.
Faithfully,
Richard Robinson
Gotcha, Richard! I've e-mailed them yesterday and today, and will continue to do so every day! I'm contacting their Program Director, Mike Kennedy, at: mikek@kkpt.com
