Shame on you, Tim. Name calling. Really? The thing of which you accuse others is the thing of which you are also guilty. 

Please know that I, and others -- many others -- are working together for necessary reforms at KZYX. We are working to save the station from Coate and Aigner, and from a complacent Board. 

Little wonder that the FCC has held up the renewal of the station’s licenses. Little wonder that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting continues to cut its funding for KZYX. Little wonder that the number of the station's members this year will decline from 2,300. Little wonder that we have only 2,300 members in a broadcast area of all of Mendocino County, and big parts of the Counties of Lake, Humboldt, and Sonoma. Little wonder that underwriting revenues have declined in each of the last three years. 

The station is on its way to being defunded, Tim. And one of the days, NPR will also probably take a close look as to whether or not they want a station like KZYX as an affiliate. Why? Insider politics. Opaque finances. Salaries not disclosed. Aging equipment. No budget for new equipment. No Ukiah studio. Even the ten grand raised by the community for a Ukiah studio was misappropriated. 

Little wonder. 

Relax, Tim. You'll probably keep your show under new management.

If it showed any signs of moving toward those goals you articulated, I would. 
I'm not interested in reading endless rants by people who feel personally wronged. 
John Sacowicz is the new Sister Yasmin, utterly self-absorbed and endlessly demanding attention. Who wants to listen to spoiled children scream all the time?
