[Kzyxtalk] "KZYX, Better Than It Ever Was" from John Coate's new Linkedin page

Well, Coate did indeed build a "moat" around himself as his management style became more autocratic and he isolated himself from the station's 2,100 members, surrounding himself with only those who agreed with him -- purging the rest.

Did he really leave such an obvious typo: Moat????? Weirdo.

Summary 


I was the GM of KZYX radio in Mendocino County and the Executive Director of Mendocino County Public Broadcasting from 2008 until 2015. KZYX is listener-supported public radio. It serves a wide geographic area that is quite rural. When I arrived the station was mired in debt. Moat of that debt is paid off and the station is better than it ever was.

(No mention of all the conflict that Coate engendered, nor our almost two-year long FCC regulatory review, cuts in CPB funding, drop in membership numbers and underwriting revenues, and the possibility of future litigation.)
