[Kzyxtalk] Conference Call

[doug mckenty]

All of this represents a level of dysfunction at KZYX that has come to
surprise even me.  How hard is it to arrange an open lines call in show for
the CAB or the Board so the membership can call in and talk?  This is what
healthy radio stations do.  This CAB teleconference "meeting" is just
another pretense at "community input" while really only operating a a
medium to censor the publics ideas in order to limit criticism from those
who disagree with staff.  I am reminded of the way they would not allow
open lines questions during the board debate, choosing instead to take
questions beforehand and then only asking those questions vetted by staff.
 All of this is absurd.  I mean really rediculous.  It would be hilarious
if it was not so sad to watch such a valuable community resource under the
control of a few people incapable of sharing what is rightfully ours.
