The Issues, Etc. quote of the day comes from Chris Rosebrough in response to Mollie Z. Hemingway’s post concerning the large amount of listeners wreaking havoc to the on-demand server over at Brothers of John the Steadfast.
1. Since the synod claims that Issues, Etc. was cut for “financial reasons”. I think it is time for the next round of cost cutting measures for KFUO AM.
KFUO AM needs to cancel the Afernoon Show and fire Diane Summers and the Rev. Steve Siegel (hosts of the Afternoon Show) and put Issues, Etc. back on the air in its normal time slot.
This would save KFUO AM at least $150,000 per year in employee overhead. Lutheran Public Radio may even be willing to pay a ‘nominal fee’ for the air time at KFUO AM. That being the case, KFUO AM could be making a profit during that time slot rather than losing money.
As I see it, canceling The Afternoon Show is the ONLY financially responsible thing for them to do.
Oh yeah.
Update: Mollie's now got the comment up as a post as well here.
