KZYX has an annual budget of $550,000. Where does the hell does money go?</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', arial, sans-serif; color: #2a2e2e;"><br></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', arial, sans-serif; color: #2a2e2e;">KZYX members and underwriters need to know that their membership and underwriter dollars do not go towards equipment nor technology. It does not go towards upgrading infrastructure nor replacing Korean war-era parts. No, no, no. Those membership and underwriting dollars go towards paying a bloated payroll of lazy, useless, incompetent people at who have lifetime job security at KZYX.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', arial, sans-serif; color: #2a2e2e;"><br></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', arial, sans-serif; color: #2a2e2e;">And the KZYX Board is complicit. They're mostly interested in preserving the status quo at a station that will soon fail. KZYX will fail once Trump defunds the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, as he has promised to do.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', arial, sans-serif; color: #2a2e2e;"><br></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', arial, sans-serif; color: #2a2e2e;">KZYX has received more than $4.5 million from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a federal agency, in KZYX's 27-year history. This federal handout is the "mother's milk" of poorly managed stations like KZYX.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', arial, sans-serif; color: #2a2e2e;"><br></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', arial, sans-serif; color: #2a2e2e;">Please support KMEC in Ukiah and KNYO in Fort Bragg as your local community radio stations.
