Well do I remember the Great Controversy at KFJC in which net-streaming
was denounced vociferously because programmers would "start pandering to

The controversy at KKUP is exactly the obvious.

Uh.... you mean opposite?

The troops have been
vociferous in their demands to resume streaming at KKUP. The management
has been reticent because of cost and work involved.


Usual thing in those cases is take the loudest kvetcher and put him in
charge of it. Then ride his ass to get it done. It either gets done or
the person shuts up pretty quickly.

The thing about (especially non-comm play-music) radio is it's
relatively easy to single-hand. Thus it attracts a bunch of "auteurs"
who are in it exclusively for their own airtime and don't give much of a
hoot for the station as a whole. Just asking one of them to turn the
monitors down because I was recording somebody and he walls were
paper-thin resulted in a great huffiness.
