(BPRW) KBLA TALK 1580 TO HOST TOWN HALL: THE EATON / ALTADENA FIRE: 100 DAYS AND COUNTING

(Black PR Wire) LOS ANGELES: On Wednesday, April 16, 2025, from 4 PM to 6 PM, KBLA Talk 1580 radio personalities Tavis Smiley, Dominique DiPrima, and Nii-Quartelai Quartey will participate in the radio station’s community town hall titled “The Eaton/Altadena Fire: 100 Days and Counting.”  A panel featuring survivors, community leaders, activists, experts, and more will reflect on the 100 days since the fire erupted and address hard and heart questions about where the community goes from here. This event is part of KBLA Talk 1580’s continuing coverage of the fire, the aftermath, and its long-term impact on the Black community in Altadena. The station broadcasts a one-hour weekly live program called “Conversation Live: Altadena Rising,” hosted by James Farr, who will join the town hall as a panelist. Farr’s show is the definitive source for tracking Altadena’s recovery, amplifying survivor voices, and holding power accountable. The town hall will be simulcast live on KBLA Talk 1580 and KBLA’s YouTube channel. Sponsored in part by Quinn Emanuel Trial Lawyers, this free event is open to the public, but registration is required at KBLA1580.com.
