From what I understand, KPFA is in good shape financially, but WBAI and WPFW 
are on the ropes and may go off or sell at any time.  Both owe a bunch of 
money in back rent and payroll.

I remember in the past that KPFA owned its tower site and rented out much of 
it to 2-way carriers, etc., making KPFA pretty much self-supporting just 
from the tower revenue.  Can anyone verify this?  It's probably not the case 
anymore, but I'd think that they're pulling at least some money from their 
rentals.
