Our underwriters would be aghast.if they only knew about these new waves of "rigidity" and "enforcement" and ""police tactics" sweeping over our station. The fact is I had two guests on hold -- the women from Banyan -- and I needed to bring them into the show as soon as the first guest hung up. The women were waiting, patiently, silently, for 15-20 minutes. I was not going to disrespect them.

The original intent of Underwriting at KZYX was to provide NON-COMMERCIAL
subsidy to the programming.<br>
It was never, ever meant to be a mechanism whereby the Underwriting UNDERLING
had control over program content.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-left:53.0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-.25in"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">This is
particularly pertinent to public affairs programmers who are interviewing by
phone remote guests with information pertinent to the listeners interests,
whose own schedules limit when in the hour they are available.<br>
Deferring an Underwriting Message to accommodate a remote guest is not
Negligence. It is exercising FLEXIBILITY, with intelligence and a flair
for pacing. <br>
Which is also true at times for Music programmers who take their Intros and
subsequent pacing seriously. </span></font></p>

station money and may be grounds for dismissal." </span></font></p>

KZYX/Z's goodhearted Underwriters would be aghast to learn that their
support of the station could be used as a ploy by the 'Business
Developer' to get rid of a programmer for whom he had developed a dislike.<br>
