[Kzyxtalk] kzyx budget

No. KZYX keeps individual salaries secret. 

But do the math. Four full-time staff people. And three part-time news people. Divide $234,502 by that number of employees. That's where your membership dollars go. 

KMEC does the same job -- or better! -- for $19,000.

SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN CONSIDERING TO PLEDGE TO KZYX -- THEY 
LIE! 
by John Sakowicz 

The budget of KZYX is about $570,350.?Meanwhile, the budget at KMEC 
in Ukiah is something like $19,000. 
The difference?? 
KMEC is all-volunteer. On the other hand, KZYX has paid staff that 
sucks the very life force out of the station. They are bankrupting 
KZYX.? 
And what is the lie? 
The lie you're being told during the current pledge drive is that 
local programmers at KZYX need that $570,350 to stay on the air. It's 
a lie. A big fat lie! The programmers don't need the money, because 
they don't get the money. Any money. Zero. Zilch. Nada. They don't 
see a cent. Not even gas money. Who gets the money? KZYX staff gets 
the dough. Lots of it. $234,502 in salaries and benefits, with 
another $18,554 thrown in for taxes. 
Don't believe me?
