I am so totally pissed that even after John Coate and I had these two
heart-to-heart conversations about healing broken relationships at the station,
after which I was prepared to make some concessions, including modifying or
withdrawing my FCC complaint, and after which I also worked my ass off to
schedule an A-list guest for my Spring Pledge Drive show tomorrow -- Katrina
vanden Heuvel -- here comes Steffen kicking me to the curb, or trying to, and
here coming Aigner kicking Norman De Vall to the curb. I feel played. And if
John Coate had no role in Steffen's and Aigner behaviors, then John Coate
should feel played, too. His staff is undermining him.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Subject: Steffen vs. Bosk - how resolve?<br>
<br>
How do we know for sure that KZYX Business Development staffer David<br>
Steffen's email, suggesting that Beth Bosk's comments or reporting "have
no<br>
place in any discussion of KZYX or the individuals", was of his own
making.<br>
<br>
How do we know the David Steffen email was not instigated by a operational<br>
policy, or shadow scripted, by General Manager John Coates and or Program<br>
Director Mary Aigner.<br>
<br>
Is there a pattern developing with the comment on Bosk. Did David Steffen,<br>
or GM John Coates dba David Steffen, 'throw a curve ball' at John Sakowicz,<br>
by intentionally making a deliberately false claim that station ID was not<br>
announced on air.<br>
<br>
Before making the station ID false claim, did Steffen, or Steffen/ Coates,<br>
or Steffen/Aigner, or Steffen/Aigner/Coates, already have the information<br>
that Sakowicz's actual transgression, was having read the underwriting at a<br>
procedurally incorrect time.<br>
<br>
Was the truth a substantial violation or simply a technical violation of<br>
station policy because, of its one time occurrence and not a continuing<br>
regular event. Is it true that there might not have been actual harm to<br>
the underwriter supporter nor a complaint there from.<br>
<br>
Was it evident that there may have been a valid reason for not reading<br>
underwriter announcement at the time scheduled, so the program guest could<br>
be on air, as the radio host declares.<br>
<br>
Was the false claim of not reading station ID which would have been a<br>
substantial violation of KZYX's broadcast FCC license, part of a<br>
strategic 'sucker punch'.<br>
<br>
Was this a '1, 2' attempt to destabilize the radio show host, by
pausing<br>
to first allow Sako to indignantly respond to the false claim 'bait',
then<br>
following up with the hair splitting true fact, of reading underwriting<br>
copy at half hour instead of at top of the hour.<br>
<br>
Perhaps only Steffen/Aigner/Coates knows for sure. The saga continues to<br>
tilt with windmills and inquiring minds.<br>
