Al Jazeera English gets an L.A. radio outlet

KPFK will start carrying the news from Al Jazeera English at 3 p.m. during the week. "The virtual exclusion of Al Jazeera English from the American media market is an absurdity that KPFK is thrilled to help rectify," program manager Alan Minsky said in a statement. The FM station (90.7 FM) also announced that it will carry Truthdig Radio on Wednesdays at 2 p.m. as a joint production of KPFK and Truthdig.com. Brad Friedman, the politics blogger at The Brad Blog, will get the 3:30 slot on Wednesdays.

Explorations, the science program hosted by Michio Kaku, returns Saturday at 10 a.m. after a two month hiatus. In case you have lost track, Deadline L.A. with Barbara Osborne and Howard Blume is now on the schedule at 3:30 p.m. on Mondays.
