KPFT management has fired George Reiter, producer of a new show called Thresholds, because he participated in yesterday's protest
to support "Democracy Now!" Hundreds of Pacifica listeners and staff participated in similar protests yesterday--including staff at KPFA and WBAI--but no one else lost their shows because of their participation.

Reiter, who is a professor of physics at the University of Houston, was called by KPFT Program Director Edmundo Resendez today and told that his show would be cancelled because of Reiter's participation in the protest. Reiter said that his show had been doing well since its inception six months ago; KPFT listeners say that he has one of the few progressive shows left on KPFT today.
