Public Radio Corporate Support -- an Oxymoron for Today's Times

Wow! I just realized that I wrote that letter to my local public radio station almost a year ago. What has happened?

Nothing. Zip, zilch, the big goose egg. It's as if the letter was completely ignored.

I'd almost forgotten about it, or at least that it had been that long ago. Scouring my LJ for some links reminded me. And frankly, that pissed me off. Of all the organizations you would think would blow you off, the Public Broadcasting Network seems low on the list.

Some happy and sad news, though. Back in the post Commons Sense, dealing with my fears about increasing advertising on public media, I hinted at a situation I was not at liberty to mention. Well, The Wife has given notice from that job. I'll give details about that after she leaves officially, at least the details relevant to this topic. I'll also be able to give details about that darkly hinted scandal that I feel indicates how terribly far advertising has gone today, and how terribly high a price we might be paying because of it.

For now, though, I'll give the Director of Corporate Support a week to respond to my latest email, ( one I'll put below this cut. )

Death Metal Roosters

There are, it seems, roosters in this world which like to draw out the "caaaaaa" in "caaacadoodledoo" as long as they can. There are also, it is known, death metal bands which like to scream their opening lines in a dire cry to the heavens.

They meet!
