Well and good, but what is the board actually doing. No one who posts here goes to the meetings any more? While it is true that the board labors in relative obscurity -- until nutters like TM unleash her hounds of hell against some imaginary wrongs -- the board exemplifies the dysfunctional core of KBOO. They are worth keeping tabs on, if just for the lutz.

A few people are still paying attention and I get some cryptic updates every now and then. Michael P is still in opposition to board retreats where the board makes decisions outside of the scrutiny of open meetings (he's completely ignored), and there was mention that there is at least one candidate for manager (no kidding, they'll have lots of choices, won't they).
The new board is led by quite a few people who weren't even known to KBOO a short time ago, and they won't disturb the real power at KBOO as they don't have the balls.
If you read the board meeting notes and agendas ... they are looping back to the station review done by outside consultants, and looping back to the strategic plan. Sure. Why not. Just so long as no one messes with the real power base. It's just as if nothing had happened last year ... weak board ... strong staff ... money still leaving faster than arriving.
The best quote yet was the one by the guy at Current ... the immediate results of the last fund drive don't mean a thing until it can be seen if the long term downwards trend has been turned round. It will take till the end of 2014 to have a good clue how this turns out.
In the meanwhile, XRAY hasn't broadcast for longer than one second, and with a Kickstarter they have raised in less than a month half of what the 45 year on air station KBOO raised in a two week on air drive with 26K Watts of power delivering the message to existing listeners. This will be interesting to watch long term.
A few more interesting facts ... the December Arbitron numbers are out. KBOO until it stopped being tracked usually got a 0.2 market share. KOPB whose radio gets a 7.0 (35 times KBOO's audience) has another listing for online only (just the people streaming KOPB) which now shows up in the 0.3 and 0.4 ranges. Another radio station with a second digital channel (HD2) is getting between 0.3 and 0.7 market share. So online and HD digital radio stations are already doing better than KBOO does with 26K watts of power. Chris Merrick was right during those program committee meetings a few years ago, KBOO has to improve or streaming online content and other sources will take away it's listeners.

Well and good, but what is the board actually doing. No one who posts here goes to the meetings any more? I'm not too surprised. This board seems to be run by "upstanding netizen" types, who understandably hesitate to expose themselves to the kbots personally. But leet skillz only go so far. Most of the other participants, including yours truly, don't have enough horses in the race to make the aggravation worthwhile. Definitely agree. What I don't get is how few people have contributed to the boards after all of Ani's bullshit. I'd expect peeps like Kraus to be telling all the Kbots he knows to come here. They won't agree immediately, but they'll see information that they never have. It's weird how QUIET it got up to and after the elections. Like the Inner peeps do not want anyone to know about this board. Shit, I'd expect some good trolling from Silverman or Trout. What have we ever got? Mackay's dubious recall and one Indy troll. That's it? Seriously? |

I've completely left KBOO. Best decision in a long time. I still stay in touch with a very small number of people but I frankly don't care what the board does. They are irrelevant and so is KBOO.
The only thing I do is tell the truth about what happened if asked, and recommend people stop supporting such a dysfunctional place.
Damned shame that such a valuable asset like this is left to the nutters and hate merchants, but such is life.

Oh you Blue Bloggers, quit your whining.
You want lulz? It's so easy. Do some research.
On the Board of Directors section of the KBOO Website, prominently featured is the Board Policy Manual that was put into abeyance last summer. That's right, including the Whistleblower section and the Duty of Loyalty section that the board ignored and then refused to affirm before throwing Hadiran off the board.
It's all right there, as if it were the policy of KBOO. Dig deeper, look between the lines on the board of director meeting minutes, and embarrass these idiots if you want something to write about.

NO U I echo this, Snoop Chief. You've done the research so publish the docs here already. What are you waiting for? An engraved invitation? Great. Good for you. Glad you gave the Man, er, Ani the big middle finger. But before you left you made sure all the Kbots knew about this forum, right? You know, the last "fuck this shit,this is where you can find me" ? Telling the entire KBOO membership where they can get and tell a different story is what Ani's Kbot Kult fears the most. If that didn't happen, it was an opportunity wasted.  Gee, guess the mods are STILL recovering from New Year festivities!  |

At least they're being honest about the insular and crony nature of board membership:
I can't think of any other nonprofit calling an invitation to run in an election 'recruitment'. Perhaps an unfortunate turn of phrase?

Perhaps an unfortunate turn of phrase? More like a Freudian slip. The KBOTS do feel a pathological sense of ownership and control. They do believe they have a right to practice favoritism for the "cause". We know they recruit/exploit the naive to adopt their values and justifications. I've yet to hear any Kbot admit KBOO's claim as a nonprofit corporation that they answer to members as opposed to the public is incorrect. It doesn't surprise me whoever wrote that at the very least betrayed their confusion about the role of a board member in a nonprofit corporation. Their list of KBOO's "core values" is riff with...creative fiction: "Open"? "Transparent"? These are the same clowns who don't have a station contact or ombudspreson... And they appear to have omitted board members real addresses must be registered with the FCC. |
