We have sad news in the KALW family.  On Saturday night, Chuck Finney, host of Your Legal Rights for more than 30 years, passed away after a brief stay in the hospital, at age 77.

Our thoughts go out to Chuck’s family, and to the many friends and colleagues who will feel his loss.

To the end, Chuck was dedicated to public service and the listeners of KALW.  Join us as we pay tribute to him in a special edition of Your Legal Rights, sharing stories and appreciations of Chuck’s life, work, and spirit.

Wednesday, February 28th at 7pm.
