KPFT, the Pacifica station in Houston, Texas, is ‘relaunching’ their HD3 broadcast channel. Programming on KPFT HD3 will also be simulcast online.

Welcome to Thinkwing Radio with Mike Honig (every Wednesday from 2-3PM CT) on KPFT-HD Channel 90.1-3. One of our mottos is that you’re entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts, so we try to get our facts right.

 If you don’t have an HD (‘Hi-Definition’) radio, you can hear KPFT-HD 90.1-3 at KPFT.org, listen online by going to KPFT.org and clicking on “Listen Live”, and then one of the HD3 links: HD3 (32k)  HD3 (64k) . Or go to ‘HOW TO LISTEN’ and get the graphic on how it works.

TOPICS:

• Importance of voting
• Enforcing Section 3 of the Voting Rights Act: “Your honor, we’re not discriminating against minorities. We’re discriminating against Democrats.”
• Why are young adults driving less? (“It’s the economics, stupid.”)
• The long-term, generational cost to the economy of college debt.
• “The Excel Error Heard Round The World”: Economics
• Simon Cowell is a snake.
