Mary has had to take so much flack precisely because she has the burden and responsibility of making all the programming decisions without the help of a solid programming advisory council. This council could make programming decisions at meetings open to the public. Doing so with transparency and membership input would prevent the kind of backlash she gets from people like Marco and the others in our community who's ideas have been turned down, including one who complained to the FCC. The current system at KZYX places a heavy burden on the program director that no one person should have to bear. It's too bad and causes much of the bad blood we are seeing in the community right now.</div><div><br></div><div>Doug</div><div><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On Mar 13, 2015, at 6:50 PM, BC <<a href="mailto:omni@mcn.org">omni@mcn.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">As you are relativly new to the area
and inexperiencd in public radio operations, I suggest that your
angry perspective on Mary Aigner is both misinformed and
unnecessary.<br>
Running a 7/24 public operation of any kind requires a really
dedicated and driven person. That person must take all the
resources and present a smooth operation while involving the
entire community. I couldn't do it nor could you. That kind of
performance requires solid structure that must not accept the
vagaries of poorly performing volunteer programmers who,by nature,
are inconsistent and somewhat intermittent. If she was supported
by a stern program committee who would support the scheduling and
mission of volunteers she could take a breath occasionally. If
you add a administrative crew who provide real network for smooth
manageable operation and the station would smoothly continue it's
growth to a real beacon to our evolving region.<br>

Give Mary a lot of slack John, she has done a great job under
trying conditions - and still is less of a grouch than thou. An
enlightened board will help. ~BC<br>

<div>Here are my thoughts, Doug:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<span>1.There will be no peace at KZYX until Coate and Aigner
are gone. Gone. Gone. Gone. Gone forever. Gone immediately.
Coate has been been </span><span>wielding</span><span> his
"executive director" powers with an iron hand at KZYX for
the last 10 years. Aigner has been at KZYX since the station
was started 25 years ago. She has been on the payroll for
most of that time and wielding her "program director" powers
with an iron hand for the entire time she's been the program
director. </span></div>
