Lines” like no one knows the story. The host was suspended for not following
the rules. The program was put on hiatus until we could purchase a delay
machine. They are not cheap and yet KZYX spent the money. The delay unit is not
a CD player requiring two RCA plugs and a power cord. It requires an
understanding of all of the other expensive equipment we have and how to
install and use without blowing up some other piece of equipment. And it
requires training. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

to agree to abide by the rules of hosting a program. Then “Open Lines” can
return. There is no free speech issue. There is no censorship issue. You people
throw “free speech” and “censorship” out as if they are facts. They are not.

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The CAB was told by
Stuart Campbell, the Programmers rep, that the delay device was being installed
on Dec.18th. The following day the station had technical problems. <br>
The reason why we are all so much in the dark about everything the station does
is due to the reduction of meetings by the Board and the cancellation of the
January meeting with no plausible explanation besides they did it last year as
well (and got away with it.) <br>
The meeting before an election has always been the most important one to me
because we know and can report to the general public all the information about
the candidates and the timeline for balloting which last year they screwed up
mightily by getting the mailing out late and then having two different
deadlines for the votes to be cast. This was brought to Aigner's attention so
that the station could correct the information on air but as usual, was
ignored.<br>
It was one of the many irregularities I mentioned to the FCC as evidence that
the station is severely deficient in using its own air waves to keep its
members informed.<br>

profanity that got Doug suspended - it was his failure to respond by shutting
off the caller, apologizing to the listeners, and reiterating station policy on
profanity. (I didn't hear the show, but it's my understanding from
those who did, that Doug simply let the conversation go on. As management
had previously made clear, they view that as a potentially serious FCC
infraction.) WDan followed the policy and was temporarily suspended
(NOT a "free pass" as you allege). I don't know anything about
the Sherry Glaser incident.<br>
<br>
I know Doug believes he was set up. Doug believes a lot of things that
aren't necessarily so. He sees conspiracies everywhere. His belief
that he was being set up for dismissal became a kind of self-fulfilling
prophecy. (When you believe strongly in something, you behave in such a
way as to make it become true.)<font color="#888888"><span style='color:#888888'><br>
