Michael Kisslinger! He's a company man. He has a show, and he does news. And he has regularly interviews candidates for elected office for the last few election cycles.

Mary,<br>
I'm sure we're thinking along the same lines<br>
regarding the primary elections.<br>
If KZYX is going to continue with election<br>
programming it would be:<br><br>
Interviews:<br>
Third District 1 hr. for ea. candidate Total 4 hrs.<br>
Treas./Tax .5 hr " 1<br>
Clerk Recorder/Assessor .5 hr. " 1<br>
Supertindent of Schools .5 " 1.5<br><br>
Debates:<br>
Third District 1 hr. 1<br>
Treas./Tax - Clerk Recdr. 1 hr. 1<br>
Sup. of Schools 1 hr. 1<br><br>
Total +/- 10 hrs.<br><br>
or 1 hr. each week beginning March 27.<br><br>
If you want me to host these interviews and debates I would like<br>
to know as soon as possible as there is a great deal of study <br>
and fact finding that will go into each broadcast.<br><br>
