The News is reduced in content, but not energy, or content, really, as the Staff recovers from a long week by celebrating π Day! Read the full news here.
What to call a time-reduced News Segment? Diet News? Light Content? Light on Content? Yeah, that sounds like it.
Listeners,
I recently wrote a letter to the KZSC Program Review Committee and Station Manager. It was in response to a letter asking for my comments about possible indecency determination concerning our Valentines Day Show. The PRC is the KZSC committee that determines the schedule each quarter, reviews all the shows, and determines any show related sanctions. If they decide that our Valentines Day Show was indecent, it could result in a warning, suspension, or perhaps even more drastic action. More importantly, they will be saying that The Vagina Monologues are indecent — which is so ironic that it deserves significant attention.
I’m posting this letter to ask a favor of you all. If this were any other show, we’d generally deal with it almost entirely internally. But, this is The Vagina Monologues. I believe the V-Day movement is important to all of us and we should defend it, given the chance. Please take a few moments to listen to the show below (if you haven’t already) and read my letter to the PRC. If you feel you have something to say, positive or negative, about this show. Then write a quick email, give the PRC a call, or if you’re feeling really fancy, write them a letter. Tell them what you think. They need to hear from our community.
Thank you,
-Timothy
Thank you for asking to hear from me before making a decision on whether our Valentine’s Day Show should be considered indecent. I hope by the time this letter reaches you, that you all have had an opportunity to listen to the show and therefore have gained an understanding of its content within context and without the bias of the listener complaint which has motivated this process. I encourage all of KZSC’s listeners to complain and applaud as much as possible so we can grow as artists and understand our community; but the matter before us is about indecency, not whether this particular listener appreciated the show. As such, I’ll address that complaint in that context. Also, as a side-note, I’d very much like to receive a copy of the letter. Reading it would likely help me grow as a broadcaster, and would certainly aide in addressing this issue.
We’re joined this evening by former frequent contributor Evan Hamilton and Marketing VP Dan Berkhard, who’ve come on to talk about a social networking web browser, Flock. We also offer a taste of the Vagina Monologues in preparation for their opening night, tonight.
The News Staff flocks about the station, looking at the economy and some severe job dissatisfaction. Read the full news here.
It’s said that birds of a feather flock together, and having recently been reacquainted with the intricacies of chickens in and out of their coop, I’d have to agree.
