[Kzyxtalk] Problems at our station

[nsi at mcn.org]

Thank you so much for this clarification, Peter. The one-time
recruitment suggestion is wonderful, it addresses privacy concerns
while allowing the station to provide a cost-free way for all members
to reach out to each other, while allowing the retention of anonymity.

Up to now the station has refused to provide any direct access to its
membership list. I believe privacy is an important issue. Especially
these days. And as a dissident, verbally, I have respected that as an
excuse. Your solution solves the privacy issue. Any further balking on
the part of John Coate is just yet another attempt at crowd control.
He's blocked on-air open discussion re. the station. The meager space
allotted the candidates on the written ballots is ludicrous. The
excuse for that has always been "cost".  John Coate was given a
$10,000 raise at the cost of everything else, most tragically, a News
Department independent of his own prejudices.  
And folks: until this is resolved, know that the Announce list is the
one that reaches the most eyes and that's why people trying for change
locally use it. --beth bosk

Subject:[Kzyxtalk] Problems at our station

 First, and to come up to speed on this topic, I'd appreciate a 
 synopsis of the problems others have noted with the station.
 Also, please note that this new MCN listserve category does NOT 
 broadcast to all the web-savvy or radio-listening people of the 
 county as a whole. It goes to a very small segment who happen to use

 MCN as a provider, who have been receiving the Announce or
Discussion 
 lists, and who have signed up to receive this specific list. And the

 great majority of these receivers are largely located in the 
 Mendo-Fort Bragg area. As such it is not at all representative of 
 the station's concerned listeners.
 Why cannot there be a listserve capability for this topic that 
 includes the station's own email/donor list? Will the station share 
 its list? Or will the station allow a one-time recruitment of 
 interested parties from that same list?
