Are you new here? You are surprised that KBOO (board and staff) is not voluntarily updating their "progress."
There is no progress, there is regression. The membership has slipped below 4,000 and it continues to decline.
You seem to have expectations that KBOO serve the community and its members. That is where you're confused. KBOO uses that propaganda to bring in dollars to keep its staff employed and its small club feeling special.
It's a sham.
KBOO is not community radio. They use the idea of community radio to get money from unsuspecting folks that happen to like bluegrass or democracy now.
But I haven't checked this thread in a week or so, thus was not jimmy or other jimmy.
For the record (and I'm no attorney, nor am I'm going to consult one about this), I think it's dishonest, but fraud that you could win a legal case on would be challenging. It's a matter of opinion. How do you define "serve the community"?
It's BS, but they do serve A community, but not THE community. But if A community is THE community, then they're clear. If that makes any sense.
Regardless, I agree with the poster long ago who said you're wasting your time complaining to this blog, no one is listening.
If you really want to make some change, you need to go to board meetings, go to committee meetings, table at events, talk to everyone you can, and run for the board. You can't hide behind an alias on a website, but need to actually put your name out there.
There are forums in town where you can write articles, blog posts, etc. Use your name and use facts.
Then you'll see how truly messed up things are and how low people will stoop to protect THEIR precious community. At least you'll see that if they feel threatened by you, which means you're doing a good job. Complaining about things here is pointless.
