Pacifica Foundation is an American nonprofit organization that owns five independently operated, non-commercial, listener-supported radio stations known for their progressive/liberal[1][2] political orientation. Its national headquarters adjoins station KPFK in North Hollywood, California.
Pacifica Foundation also operates the Pacifica Network, a program service supplying over 200 affiliated stations with various programs, primarily news and public affairs.[3] It was the first public radio network in the United States and it is the world's oldest listener-funded radio network.[4][5] Programs such as Democracy Now! and Free Speech Radio News have been some of its most popular productions.[citation needed]
