All of this is very good analysis, Doug and Scott.

Would like to compare notes... 

My analysis of the financial information from the website shows the CPB grant increasing from $100k to $190k over the last ten years, though it went down to $140k last year. 

According to the audits, community support went way down starting in 2007. Membership went from $450k to $250k at its lowest point and underwriting and events income went down as well. 

Perhaps I am interpreting the info wrong, or the 990's tell a different story...

the real tragedy about concealing Form 990s from KZYX's board of directors is this .. without current and past Form 


990s, it's impossible to do any look-back .. so operating budgets are useless .. 


in a ten-year look-back, the decline is obvious .. membership revenue went up by fifty percent during that time 


period .. expenses went up by thirty percent .. but total revenue went down by fifteen percent .. the biggest chunk 


of that decline was CPB grants .. by almost fifty percent .. the bottom line is reflected in the loss of net assets .. 


currently twenty-five percent of what they were in 2005 .. 


so instead of instituting any real reform, MCPB is circling the wagons .. with business-as-usual editorials like this:

CPB monitors publicity regularly .. especially regarding grantees .. and how publicly they circle their wagons ..

Who cares about Stuart's teaching credentials.  The facts that concern me are the ones that point to how MCPB is not following CPB regulations, and how this has caused a serious decline in membership.
