That rings true to me. And your definition of the term (below) is clear enough. </div><div><br></div><div>The "commercial attitude" must be replaced by another that "facilitates community development in spirit and practice" That also rings true but I would like to hear more, so please expand on that. I have heard similar things from others who were around the station in its early days.</div><div><br></div><div>And you note "we have a lot of discovery coming up in the near future." Yes, I agree again. Everything indicates that we are on the brink of change, of great change and we need a place, a local place, to talk about it as it happens. As you say "KZYX is perhaps the most critical platform for that evolutionary exploration." That is a big compliment and a huge responsibility. </div><div><br></div><div>Do others on this list have similar feelings about the "commercial attitude" and what should replace it?</div><div>--king</div><div><br></div><div>BC said: "By commercial I refer to 1. invasive and redundant program announcements 2.Inconsistent, incomplete and redundant public service announcements 3, Inaccurate, pessimistic and debilitating (no action possible) NPR programming 4.
