Kick Thom Hartmann off KBOO!!
author: one who cares
KBOO's board of directors decided recently to eliminate the 4 pm Democracy Now! show and put the nationally syndicated Thom Hartmann show on instead. For many of us, this is not a direction we want to see KBOO going in.
If you agree, leave your thoughts & suggestions here on Indymedia Portland. Let's make this a public, visible, campaign to get Hartmann off KBOO!!
This very public forum can be one way to let the KBOO board/staff and committees know that we don't support his show replacing Democracy Now!
Neither do we think Hartmann belongs on KBOO at all!
NO TO THOM HARTMANN ON KBOO!!

You progressives love diversity except it seems diversity of thought and opinion.

phew, fat chance

I share the sentiment. Sure wish TM hadn't used Indymedia over months and months to smear a KBOO employee.
What's funniest right now is that starting in a few days is the KBOO fund drive. Those still left at KBOO are being instructed how to gloss over the entire thing, like nothing happened. KBOO volunteers are being trained to say that they "heart" Hartmann. At least that's what it looked like on Sunday night.
Why not call in to the air room during the am talk shows and ask Steve Nasser if he's going to chain himself to the door of the interim program director?
Good riddance to Amy Goodman 08.Oct.2013 18:26

(The following is my personal opinion)
I'm sick of the incredibly biased content from the "War and Peace Report".
I contribute to KBOO and welcome Thom Hartmann - a very smart man who is informative and interesting.

Did not say much too much but contemporary Demo nonsense.
The show could be condensed 2 to 3 time if the stupid break music was eliminated.
Perhaps missing Amy the other day KBOO may get a price break.
Local folks could use that air time to discuss Howard Zinn's
book, The peoples History of the United States 1492-Present...

NEW KBOO BOARD SELLS OUT MEMBERSHIP IN BAIT AND SWITCH

In September KBOO membership voted by wide margins in favor of the Keep KBOO KBOO candidates who promised to halt the corporatization of the station and to Thom Hartmann from displacing hours of local programing. Instead the new board has hired union buster Stole Rives and plans to have Thom on the air after all. WTF?
KBOO has hired Stole Rives corporate lawyer and UNION BUSTER:
From the minutes of the KBOO Board August 26, 2013 meeting
"20 Emergency/New Business (10 min)
20.1 Approve recommendation for a labor attorney to review the labor contract.
Jeff: Stoel Rives - choose a lower priced attorney to represent us. Victor $500.00 vs
$200.00. Clarifying terms of engagement.
Motion: Accept Stole Rives as our legal counsel at $200.00/hour.
5-2-2 Motion Passed."
KBOO once before hired a firm experienced in dealing with unions: Bullard Law. Bullard's website boasts of the firm's expertise in "union avoidance" and its "strategies to maintain a union-free workplace [and] minimization of union activity." This of course caused outrage among KBOO employees and listeners and a change.org petition, aimed at the KBOO board gathered 266 signatures. It demanded that KBOO drop Bullard Law, which is "antithetical to the values of KBOO." So now we need to ask, is Stoel Rives in line with the values of KBOO?
These are the kinds of headlines the KBOO board wants to see?

Thom Hartmann: KBOO members said NO many times:
www.blueoregon.com/2013/07/blueoregon-action-hands-kboo/
"BlueOregon Action: Hands Off KBOO!
Chris Lowe
BlueOregon Action has launched a petition to bring Thom Hartmann's radio show to KBOO Community Radio. How this decision was reached is unclear to me, and it raises process issues about BlueOregon Action. BlueOregon Action should withdraw the petition, at very least until it can be fully debated. I personally believe it should be abandoned.
The action is ill-thought out, has not been adequately discussed, and poses a serious threat to KBOO as a progressive community resource."
"Grace Marian
Thank you for this article, Chris. It gives important information that was left out by Blue Oregon Action. Nothing against Thom Hartmann, but he isn't a good fit for KBOO--too commercial and too mainstream, which go against KBOO's programming charter. "

#1. Thom Hartmann's program is a commersical show, and not a good fit for KBOO. They can't air "all 15 hours," because a substantial chunk of that time is commercials.
#2. Because of the need to edit out the commercials, Hartmann's show can't air live, which diminishes the value of a call-in show.
#3. Hartmann's show is a national show that would likely displace local programming, particularly if he requires the entire show to air every day (assuming that the editing out of commercials is feasible.) A one-hour edited version to replace the repeat of Democracy Now! might be okay, but Hartmann's show is several steps down from Amy Goodman, in my opinion.
#4. Hartmann's show is already available on the internet. Perhaps there's a need to make it clearer to users how to access the show, but internet access is now nearly as widespread as radio access.

Why is there not a petition for NOT having Hartmann on KBOO? WTF!
More Paying Members have NOT signed than have signed.
Let me repeat this:
More Paying Members have NOT signed than have signed.
Personally, I think a Survey offering to BAN Hartmann would garner many more signatures than this one.
WTF. Over?

Who os this current board so eager to shove Thom Hartmann down the throats of KBOO members who have unequivocally stated they DO NOT WANT HARTMANN?
This board is MORE arrogant and out of touch than Lynn Fitch and her so called attempts to "professionalize" the station. Fitch was just an employee doing a job. This board is OUT OF CONTROL.
RECALL THE KBOO BOARD NOW!!!!
