We are scheduling the candidate forum for Thursday, March 6th. It will begin at 6:30PM, and probably run for about two hours, depending in part on questions received from the membership. We request that you arrive at the Philo studio by 6:15PM so that we can get everything set up for everyone. I will supply more information about this forum a little later, but I wanted to inform you now so that you can make the appropriate plans.

Please respond to this email to let me know that you have received it, and that you plan on participating in the forum. If you have any questions at any time, you can always send them to this email address: bod1989 at pacific.net.

Dear folks,

I am posting this to the discussion and announce lists to explain the purpose of the new list "KZYXtalk." I will still watch the "discussion" list for comments that may be of interest to the KZYX community. 

What is KZYXtalk? 

Lets briefly discuss what this listserv hopes to be. I've discussed this with Norman De Vall, who is the administrator of this listserv (kzyxtalk). Comments welcome. 

First: The discussion is fundamentally in support of KZYX.  

Second: Our idea is to invite all sides to this debate about our community radio station. This includes critics and enthusiastic supporters, "KZYX Members For Change" (Whoever that is?), members of the board of directors, programmers...listeners. The process of inviting participants has barely begun.

Third, Let's ground the discussion in history. Here are some of the...

HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS (Please add to this list; Links to all these documents will be available soon.) 

1) The founding of KZYX, 1990 to 2003. (There must be others.)

      - Jim Tarbell, 1996:  KZYX: 5 Years On The Board, 1991 - 1996 

2) 2000 to present

     - Linda McClure, 2001: An Insider View: Of KZYX

     - King Collins, 2005: The Secret Life Of KZYX, and responses.

     - Sheila Dawn Tracy, 2012 - 2014: accurate and exhaustive reports on KZYX board meetings and encounters with management. These reports are probably responsible for current wave of public concern about the station.  

3) Current documents

    - Doug McKenty, dismissed programmer: "Manifesto"

   - John Coate, October, 2014: Leaked memo

  - Petition:  "KZYX board communicate with members." Circulated by "KZYX Members For Change" 

  - John Sakowicz: letter to FCC

   - Candidate statements: we have the statements of Doug McKenty, Patricia Kovner, and King Collins

   - Board statement: majority support for management and the current state of the station

4) Other documents will be provided as requested.

Comments?
