[Kzyxtalk] [MCN-Announce]- 5th District Anderson Valley Forum on KZYX Friday 4-27, 7PM

[Norman de Vall]

Marco,
I would expect that KZYX has little to share in that the CPB would
take whatever they learned back to the office and that a report 
will be forthcoming.  The question is:  To Whom?
I suggest that we ask directly to CPB that when the report is 
issued that a copy be sent to:  KZYXtalk
Of course, KZYX could have shared with us that ’they came,
they asked questions, they listened and then they left’.
Norman
