Imagine reading a<br>speech-to-text output of all the pledge-drive talk from a single day of<br>a typical unlistenable KZYX pledge drive, about how the station needs<br>more and more money in memberships and donations just to keep the great<br>programs coming, and about how it's like a great big restaurant where<br>all the listeners eat for free and so are bound by honor to pay up, so<br>pay up, and so on, and then the fatuous chuckling, and praise of the<br>management and staff who do /so much/ under such /difficult conditions/...<br><br>Now try to hold this in the same mind: just the manager and program<br>director and ad (underwriting) salesman together suck $140,000 a year<br>out of the station --the equivalent of 2,800 yearly fifty-dollar<br>memberships --more members than KZYX ever had or will have.<br><br>Mary Aigner's position (program director) is entirely superfluous.<br>NPR and other syndicated shows switch in and out automatically.

What do you suppose<br>Mary's directing but a sine wave graph of pledge drive activity, so she<br>can continue to be paid to pretend to be needed and to quite viciously<br>defend her turf and her undeserved authority over others.<br><br>David Steffen is paid more than whatever he imagines /he's/ winning<br>for the station in return for it. Naturally he's a snarling dog for the<br>status quo.<br><br>And all John Coate has accomplished in eight years: sucking out of<br>the station for himself /half a million dollars/, firing the news<br>department right off the bat and 7.6 years later starting a pretend new<br>one, occasionally telephoning an engineer to half-assedly patch things<br>together for him, faking up the occasional financial report, and adding<br>approximately one bell and two whistles to a web page.<br><br>The CPB grant has always paid twice-over all the real-life expenses<br>of running and maintaning KZYX. How can you not grasp, Tim, that you'd<br>still get to do your show if the disastrous expensive top-down hierarchy<br>were deposed, and-- maybe my show would be on KZYX too, and the shows of<br>others who over the years have run afoul of the bad humour of the /real/<br>usurpers of the radio frequency, which is a natural resource, not a shoe<br>store. Three frequencies, in the case of MCPB. The money is there.<br>Airpersons can and should be paid for their work.<br><br>You say, "Too bad, Norman," but really, it's too bad for all of us.<br>You see the tool the "dictators, goons, sycophants, stuffed shirts and<br>cheerleaders" have made of our good faith and, for many of us, of our<br>lifelong efforts to provide a place for educational noncommercial<br>radiopeople to do audio art and science. Those dictators, goons, etc.<br>running the station have caused all their own troubles from within their<br>magic bubble of reactionary privilege --that's a good term, and an<br>accurate description, and they blame it all on others when anything<br>threatens that bubble.

We've all seen it.<br><br>This conversation should be taking place regularly on the air, and<br>in a forum on the KZYX web page, where boardmembers, and so-called<br>management, and airpeople --and the public, who pay for the station with<br>their taxes whether they like it or not-- can all participate equally,<br>in the light. It's crazy that Norman should have had to start this<br>listserv in the first place. KZYX should have been hosting an open<br>unmoderated forum on its webpage all along.<br><br>So John Sakowicz talks like an angry man.

Any attempt by the board to<br>set<br>> policy or effect programming was considered "micromanaging."
