Five years ago on Testy Copy Editors:<p>Berkeley's landmark radio station KPFA appeared to be exploding in slow motion yesterday with employees chained out of the building and all regular programming yanked off the air.
The station was seized this week by KPFA's governing Pacifica Foundation in a dramatic escalation of a seemingly intractable war that has turned Berkeley into the Balkans of the broadcast world.
Hundreds of KPFA fans demonstrated in front of the station last night, demanding the return of local staff. The protest followed the arrests of 53 station supporters the night before.
``This may be the radio equivalent of Kosovo,'' said journalism professor William Drummond of the University of California at Berkeley.
