Subject:[Kzyxtalk] Appointing Spouse to Community Advisory Board

 The Community Advisory Board is a requirement of the Corporation for
Pubic Broadcasting to be eligible for their funding. The CPB
guidelines say that the CAB should be independent of the board of
directors and promote diversity in its membership.

 If the chair of the board of directors appoints her spouse to the
CAB, it appears to violate those guidelines. It also defeats the
purpose of the CAB, to provide a vehicle for bringing new ideas to
the organization while advising on both content and operations.

 Below is the link to the CPB guidelines, plus some excerpts. I am
posting using plain text to try to avoid formatting problems of the
past, so you may have to cut and paste the link.

 C. Relationship of the Community Advisory Board to the Governing
Board of the Station

 1. The law segregates the management and operational functions of
the governing board from the functions of advisory board to ensure a
clear demarcation between the governing board and the advisory board.

 2. The advisory board is intended to provide the public the
opportunity to be heard on station programming, community service and
impact on the community of major policy decisions. All stations are
encouraged to establish whatever mechanisms will be most effective,
under local circumstances, to accomplish this congressionally
established goal.

 D. Composition of Community Advisory Boards

 The station may exercise a reasonable degree of discretion in
selecting advisory board members. The board should be reasonably
representative of the diverse needs and interests of the communities
served by the station. No individual representative of any particular
group has a legal right to membership on an advisory board. Nor does
the law empower any person, court, or government agency to require a
station take or refrain from taking any action with respect to a
station's programming or policies. The composition of the community
advisory board must reflect its independent role, and may not include
members of the station staff or governing body in anything other than
an ex officio or administrative capacity.

 E. Result of Noncompliance

 CPB may not distribute any of its funds to any community-licensed
public broadcasting station that does not have an advisory board
which meets the requirements of the law. This prohibition against the
distribution of funds is the exclusive remedy for enforcement of this
requirement.

 I don't think that the executive director and general
 manager of a public station (or any station) should have a
 radio show, do you? Why? His job is to raise money for the
 station, right? Not be a talk show host. 

 Stuart Campbell now wears three hats: KZYX's executive
 director and general manager; biweekly host of "Consider
 This" on Friday; and monthly host of "The Discussion" on
 Thursday. 

 Does this bother anyone else? 

 What's even worse, it's evident from listening to Stuart
 Campbell on "The Discussion" that he doesn't listen to Amy
 Goodman on ""Democracy Now!", nor does Campbell even know
 what's going on in our world from any alternative news
 sources and share KZYX's membership's values. 

 Campbell is a straight-up NPR guy -- and that's very, very
 bad news for us all and for our radio station. Horrible, in
 fact! 

 Just listen to Campbell and his various co-hosts when he's
 hosting the one little hour of "The Discussion" once a
 month. It's like Jim Carey's movie, "Dumb and Dumber".

 Really boring and depressing.  "Consider This" and "The
 Discussion" are 
 pretty boring too; I switch to KMUD.

 I support KMUD, too. And KMEC, where I host a show, and
 KNYO.

 I don't see any reason to deny staff have the responsibility
 for some 
 air time, good to let he public see what he is.  Mary
 fills in often and 
 does the Dead show.
 This line of conversation just doesn't go anywhere, it is
 not coherent 
 thought, but the fury of the rejected.
 Definitely not good for the community.  ~BC
