[Kzyxtalk] ACCESS Program on KMEC

[sako4 at comcast.net]

They're a great team. Sid. Govinda. Ed. Denny. Smokin' Joe. 

Fun. Smart. Capable. Eager to help. Team-oriented. 

Christina Annestad was also at KMEC for a while, and she brought a lot. 

Interesting to note that KMEC's budget last year was $17,000. Compare that to KZYX's budget of $650,000. KMEC broadcasts are now heard throughout the Ukiah Valley. They got permission to move their tower. Their signal is clear, and it never fails. KZYX, meanwhile, has a signal and equipment that often fails. Where does that $650,000 go, I wonder? 

Salaries, that's where. 

And what did we volunteer programmers get for that money? 

Nothing but a snarky attitude. 

In more than six years of doing my show, often with A-list guests with national reputations, I was never thanked for a show, never told I had just done a good show. Not once. 

Nothing but negative criticism. Nothing but refusals to either help me engineer my show, archive my show, or help me in any way. 

Add that snarkiness to the cost in time, effort, and money, in driving to Philo from Ukiah, where I live, or San Francisco, where I sometimes work, and KZYX's members and underwriters get a clear picture of reality at KZYX. 

They don't know now, but they'll know soon.

John, 
What I like about KMEC is that it's fun to work with them.

I just saw this, too, King. Congratulations, Norman. 

Also, congratulations to Doug McKenty, for his new show, The Shift". See: https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Shift-with-Doug-McKenty/360354303987448 

Soon, I'll be making a big announcement of my own. 

I bet KMEC is giving Norman the engineering and other support, like archiving shows, that he deserves...things that KZYX General Manager John Coate once defended in public as something that he and other KZYX staff were neither "too stupid or too lazy" to provide to to KZYX's volunteer programmers. 

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
