[Kzyxtalk] Too much NPR

[sako4 at comcast.net]

Drop NPR. Get more BBC. And although Al Jazeera America shut down earlier this year, Al Jazeera is still a huge and very respectable international news organization.

Absolutely! And we used to get an hour of BBC; now we get 5 minutes. I say, drop a whole lot of NPR, and give us an hour of BBC!

This is the crux of the issue. Somehow we all got sidetracked by all the other BS. 

As the host of Open Lines I heard it 1,000 times. "Too much NPR!"

Almost none of my friends are station members. Why?  "Too much NPR!"

When I was on the board of MCPC I thought I could do something to change this, and bring all these people back into the fold. That was when I found out that the pro-NPR contingent was going to great lengths to control the programming. Going as far as to ignore station policy designed to allow the membership control over the programming. 

Then there was a bunch of financial shenanigans designed to cover up the fact that too much NPR programming was causing a fiscal disaster for the station. 

So we got sidetracked trying to get the station to conform to policies that would allow the community to get all that NPR programming off the air and allow alternative views on the air. 

But the crux of the issue: "Too much NPR, not enough alternative perspectives."

Do you agree?
