90.1 used to be great, eons ago...back when they had Ace Paladino and Huey Meaux and Rotatin' Ralph. But since about 1992 all they do is beg for handouts and whine about "social justice", talk about how shitty America is. Notable exception, Nuri Nuri, the Big Bossman of the Blues, Arab dude, he loves America!! His show is 11 am - 2 pm Sundays when the stinkin' Uppity Blues Women don't engulf it. But generally KPFT is a caricature of its former self, sort of like "We Are Spinal Tap" of the airwaves.

Now I can hardly stand most of the crap but in comparison to the rest of the FM band they still get top billing.
I mostly limit myself to just the weekend programming such as "Blues Brunch" with Nuri Nuri. Considering they don't have commercial advertising, I can understand the pledge drives. I pledge once or twice a year. Fact is they have programming without corporate commercials that you just can't find elsewhere on a local free radio broadcast and that is what I like.
Lately I've found myself listening to AM radio like 740 KTRH.
