On Feb. 8 2014 I launched kzyxtalk with the objective being able
say what was not allowed by the station with the following:
Acknowledging that at least some
people have something to say about
our public radio station, KZYX, and
being a proponent of the minority
voice and free speech I've launched
a new mcn.org list site:
<a href="http://lists.mcn.org/mailman/listinfo/kzyxtalk">kzyxtalk at lists.mcn.org</a>
There is now a new way to express
y(our) views and hopefully it will
be followed by Board members,
staff and candidates.
Please join the discussion.
Norman
Some recent posts to kzyxtalk are far afield
of this objective.
Please limit your discussion to objectives of
making KZYX a stronger and better community
public radio station.
We need more support, not less.
And if you haven't contributed during this fund
drive, please do so.
