Comments for Board votes to give KPFZ $30,000 grant at http://lakeconews.com , comment 1 to 4 out of 4 comments http://lakeconews.com Fri, 19 Mar 2010 13:54:41 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/2718/919/#comment-2512 The question is not one of conservative or liberal; right or left; the real question here is; do you believe there is a void and are they capable of filling that void. For my money I would have liked to have seen a few signed contracts for real advertiser dollars; along with a few private benefactors pledging some real dollars and a commitment from one of the many endowments and foundations committed to making sure such endeavors are successful to say nothing of a little corporate funding to boot. That being said I guess $30,000.00 is a small amount of money when one looks at big scheme of things. It seems to me that this radio station will still need to turn a profit even if that profit is as little as a dollar in order to be a viable commodity serving this community; so don\'t be upset when you hear advertisers from as far away as Santa Rosa bidding for your business at some point in time. Let us not be confused; this radio station will not be the panacea for those who feel they have been displaced from public access at the hands of the local newspaper or the Lake County Board of Supervisors. There will be nothing free about free speech; no matter how noble their goals are! The Federal Communication Commission has no understanding of the meaning of the word public when it comes to the words public airwaves. - get smart Sat, 22 Dec 2007 23:00:08 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/2718/919/#comment-2510 I\'ll let you know if I\"m allowed on the station and able to tell my story.Show me the forms. - James Sat, 22 Dec 2007 22:39:53 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/2718/919/#comment-2508 hear the County explain on the radio what they are doing on a regular basis. Heck, just broadcasting the BOS meetings would be wonderful, its hard to set thru the televised version and get anything else done. And whoever told Tony there needs to be more right leaning programming should sign up to the flap their lips :wink: Local radio is as important as this local news outlet. We will really need them when the you know what hits the fan. - Donna Christopher Sat, 22 Dec 2007 21:51:37 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/2718/919/#comment-2497 I be the first to sign up, were do I get the forms? Once you take the money your no longer independent they own you. Yea I know your not be a prostitute for anybody. Bite the hand that feeds you, go ahead. - James Sat, 22 Dec 2007 05:55:15 +0100
