1:30p.m. up through 2 p.m. --Sonic
Blender was to begin at 2 p.m. It
did not. </p><div style="font-size: 18px; "> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 18px; ">Mary Aigner said the "internet is being slow" so
she began to play random songs. Two of the songs she cued up and then announced
were the incorrect song within a span of 8 or so minutes. She said she's
"rusty". You have
to wonder why she has been so hostile toward volunteers who've made errors when
announcing and running the board.
And, I would think Mary has had a hand in training the volunteers, no? </p><div style="font-size: 18px; "> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 18px; ">About 20 minutes AFTER 2 p.m., Katherine could be
heard. That she broadcasts from
another state using the internet is interesting in and of itself. After all, it's Mendocino County community
radio with volunteers who live here in the community. </p><div style="font-size: 18px; "> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 18px; ">I will also add the music played by both Mary and Katherine
is heard on COMMERCIAL RADIO.
Norah Jones, Billy Joel, Emmy Lou Harris, Rodney Crowell. All current or new releases. Sounds a lot like programming on
commercial country stations and the COAST, which plays a wide range of tunes
that I really like. The COAST has
this genre covered. Why is KZYX copying
that programming?</p><div style="font-size: 18px; "> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 18px; ">KZYX identifies itself and purports to offer local
programming with unique sounds from the community. Sonic Blender is anything but unique; and then, there's that
darn problem of the Program Director not cueing up the correct commercial
tunes. </p><div style="font-size: 18px; "> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 18px; ">KZYX is not a commercial station. Mary announced that Emmy Lou and Rodney tunes will be given
as premiums for this week’s coming fund drive. Really? </p><div style="font-size: 18px; "> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 18px; ">As an aside, Paul Lambert suggests that more than 37% of
KZYX members should just go along with the majority and John Coate would call them "haters". That's 37% of YOUR STATION'S
members. </p><div style="font-size: 18px; "> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 18px; ">Have you wondered why so many people are wanting change and
why membership flat-lined around 2003/4?
Good riddance to Mr. Lambert.
He obviously feels you have to think, say, and do what he thinks, says
and does. If the 37% are out of order,
did Mr Lambert see to the refund of their pledges? Why would the Board keep the money of the minority? Just wondering.</p><div style="font-size: 18px; "> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 18px; ">I don't see how membership will grow if people who voice
concern are thrown aside and in some cases, thrown off the air, because they
don't agree with station management and the Board. </p><div style="font-size: 18px; "> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 18px; ">Mary Massey</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 18px; ">Mendocino, CA</p><div style="font-size: 18px; "> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div style="font-size: 18px; "> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px; "> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div>
