Return O KPIG

The sainted KPIG reutrns to the cyberwaves:

    Praise the lard: fans of hammy puns and progressive music outside the Santa Cruz metro area can rejoice, as KPIG has returned to the Internet airwaves.

    The tiny station--which, through its pioneering use of the Internet, reached an audience far beyond its signal area--ceased streaming its signal on the Web last month, when management said it couldn't afford new royalty fees that the U.S. Copyright Office ordered Webcasters to pay to record companies and artists.
