 Karen, 
 The simplest answer is that, from John Coate's perspective, the
stations news programs were one sided, leaning toward leftist
philosophy.
 Since he, along with Mary was making the programming decisions it
didn't matter what any of the members or listeners thought. This is
one of the main difficulties with the station--the lack of inclusion
of the public base. It is also the main reason why 1/5 of KZYX
membership numbers (423) now donate to KMUD while only 44 people in
Humboldt County donate to KZYX. The station ignores these statistics
by having more pledge drives to bolster its membership numbers and
make it appear as if a boycott of the station by dissatisfied
listeners is not occurring.
 Of course, from where Coate stands on the extreme right, everything
is left of his views.

Alternative Radio? He offers this fine program at no cost to
broadcasting stations. We missed a remarkable interview with Vandana
Shiva last week. Luckily we can still catch his program on KMUD.
