[Kzyxtalk] from the AVA

[Mary Massey]

Tim, David, and those affilitated with KZYX.....if the audit demonstrates
that all is on the up and up with finances, nepotism, etc, you will be
pleased with that outcome. If irregularities are found, the station can
take steps to right those.

I would think KZYX would welcome the opportunity to demonstrate that all is
well in every aspect.  Unless, it is known by those who resist such an
examination that   station staff, programmers and board have not been
transparent and have committed acts that warrant further investigation.
These will be revealed.

Relax.....if everything is and has been above board, you have know need to
fling arrows at people who express an opinion.

Cheers,

Mary Massey
