[Kzyxtalk] This explains it.

     I read this cartoon and immediately thought, one or the other of 
these people is everybody who ever worked in the office at KZYX. 
Including, of course, the managers.

     It explains so much. Really, $600,000+ a year. Since 1989, almost 
thirty million 2017-corrected dollars, enough money to buy five acres, 
build a hospital on it and pave the visitors' parking lot. And 
everything on the air is so fucking dumb and harmless it makes anyone 
with a brain in his head want to tear his hair out. It's the radio 
equivalent of a fluffy hamster video.


     I applied to schedule my excellent, time-proven show on KZYX in 
February of 2012 and I'm still waiting for you to get off your thumb and 
put the five minutes of work in to switch me in. Remove from automation 
the idiotic reruns of recorded shows from thousands of miles away, shove 
a couple of local shows this way or that, and do it, already.


     And pay the airpeople before you cash your own check. That's what a 
real manager of a real radio station does.
