The CPB is investigating not-for-profit KABF-FM in Arkansas

KABF-FM (88.3) in Little Rock is known as “The Voice of the People,” but it is the people at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting who want to know more about the inner workings of the state capital’s non-commercial station. CPB has launched an audit of station finances, at the station with ties to community organizing group ACORN. The Arkansas Times claims KABF board member Jay Jansen sent an email to station staffers, saying, “KABF is being audited, funding is on hold, and the station may be broke in a matter of weeks. KABF could cease to exist as we know it.” The issue centers on a company called “Citizens Consulting Inc.,” which handled KABF’s payroll, and had involvement with ACORN. The now-defunct company was accused of mismanagement of funds.
