Plans/coverage is likely to be very fluid and subject to change. Here's the latest plan from Pacifica Radio: PACIFICA RADIO AND AFFILIATED STATIONS WILL PROVIDE WAR COVERAGE WITH DEMOCRACY NOW! And FREE SPEECH RADIO NEWS. "Assault on Peace - The Invasion of Iraq" A full-scale U.S. attack on Iraq seems almost inevitable. If bombing of Iraq commences, the Pacifica Radio Network, including Free Speech Radio News, Democracy Now! and other affiliated Community Radio Stations will produce two consecutive days of 18-hour special war coverage. The Pacifica coverage of the war, international response, and protest movements, will provide a crucial and critical alternative to the corporate television and radio news. More than ever, this coverage will provide grass roots, rapid response reporting for information much needed by the American public. Pacifica Radio And Friends will provide a most important national perspective. All 5 of the Pacifica stations, KPFA in Berkeley, CA, KPFK in Los Angeles, CA, KPFT in Houston, TX, WBAI in New York, NY, and WPFW in Washington DC, will be participating in these 2 days of special coverage. In addition to the Pacifica stations, Democracy Now!, Free Speech Radio News, and Pacifica affiliated stations KGNU in Boulder, CO, KCSB in Santa Barbara, CA, and WMNF in Tampa, FL will be producing coverage. More than 10 additional community radio station around the country will provide moment-by-moment reporting on the local events and the American protest response. The coverage will be broad ranging and will include diverse perspectives. As well as local protest activism on the streets, there will be live call-in shows where people can voice their reactions to the bombing, representatives from 'Voices in the Wilderness' who are still residing in Baghdad and other journalists will provide on-the-ground reporting, and dozens of international, national, and local humanitarian and diplomatic experts will provide their analysis. Joining Amy Goodman, Dennis Bernstein, Verna Avery-Brown, and many other Pacifica news anchors, guests will include: Tony Benn (retired British MP), Phyllis Bennis (Institute for Policy Studies), Ali Abunimah (Vice President Arab American Action Network), Danny Glover, Kathy Kelly (Voices in the Wilderness), and others. Free Speech Radio News and Pacifica's affiliate stations will provide headline news at the top of every hour, featuring both international news and local responses throughout the United States. Coverage will be from 6:00 AM until midnight Eastern Standard Time, for two consecutive days following commencement of the bombing. Coverage will begin immediately when the bombing starts. If bombing begins after midnight, coverage will begin at 6:00AM.
