On the other hand, KZYX has paid staff that<br>sucks the very life force out of the station. They are bankrupting<br>KZYX.?<br>And what is the lie?<br>The lie you're being told during the current pledge drive is that<br>local programmers at KZYX need that $570,350 to stay on the air. It's<br>a lie. A big fat lie! The programmers don't need the money, because<br>they don't get the money. Any money. Zero. Zilch. Nada. They don't<br>see a cent. Not even gas money. Who gets the money? KZYX staff gets<br>the dough. Lots of it. $234,502 in salaries and benefits, with<br>another $18,554 thrown in for taxes.<br>Don't believe me?<br>See:?http://kzyx.org/Board/MCPB%20FY2015%20Budget%20As%20Passed%207-7-14.pdf<br><div><br></div><br></div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
