KZYX FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE

WE THINK KZYX should be re-organized, completely disbanded and 

restructured to ensure community control. KMUD in nearby Garberville 

provides an excellent organizational model. KMUD arose out of 

community meetings. KZYX arose out of the private enterprise of a single 

individual, a Limbaugh Republican named Sean Donovan who managed to 

get himself paid about $30,000 for his organizational work. The decision to 

pay him was made by the management group Donovan had appointed to 

run the station in his stead.

DONOVAN POISONED KZYZ in its crib by organizing it as forever self-appointed 

and self-succeeding. And it was headquartered in the Anderson Valley, thus 

ensuring domination by non-linear stoners with liberal-ish pretensions. 

Whatever other virtues the core group may have possessed it was always short on 

discipline, long on petty feuding and even pettier jealousies.

ONE OF DONOVAN'S first acts after ensuring his 30 grand, was to fire talented radio 

people like Mitch Clogg and Marco McClean. From there on it was a parade of 

marginally competent, fearful people in charge who have kept the place broke and in 

turmoil ever since.
