*Record pledges don't seem to help. Don't seem to ease slash patrol. As the rank calls them.
*Major disconnect between management and labor.
*Developing story...

KQED is TV for fatcats. Either you have regular TV and 5-54 age range and shows mostly for 20 somethings,OR you have KQED pandering to the well off and don't bother me crowd as I spend my extra money on trinkets or watch British shows that are in the Angela Lansbury 1987 Murder She wrote style. Only with a chipper accent. In 2016.
ReplyDeletePBS locally is a vast TV wasteland. You can quote me.
KQED is for people with brains. If Stan can't tell the difference between Masterpiece Theater and Murder She Wrote, KQED is not for him.
DeleteBrains! ha. Yeah the science programs are for 10year old's level.
DeleteWhen was the last time PBS did a program on animals and listed all the animals by their Latin names? Never..they go by "Banana nose Monkey" or "Fat red Butt Monkey of Siam"
Just pathetic that PBS thinks the genteel crowd are that shallow.
> If Stan can't tell the difference between Masterpiece
Delete> Theater and Murder She Wrote
Um, have *you* ever *watched* Masterpiece Theater? Doubt it, as you'd know it has for the last ten years or so been called "Masterpiece/Mystery." And it's not much different these days from "Murder She Wrote." It's trash, just trash with a posh accent.
KQED is for people who are deluded into thinking they're so much smarter than everyone else.
DeleteIf we lessen our donations to KQED there would be fewer fat cats at the station. A list of salaried positions should be made public. We who donate should not pay for waste at the top.
ReplyDeleteThey deserve to make the same amount as the fat cat corporate robber barons. A sustainable wage of $200.000 is acceptable and a reasonable $15 per hour for those in the technical and cleaning departments.
DeleteThere a many of color or gender status that are willing to learn at the $15 an hour wage...these people will learn community fund raising also.
KQED is diverse and fun for all. Pledge now for a nifty license plate frame for electric cars.
TV for fatcats...brought to you by registered Democrats.
DeleteKQED will be gone in 2017....They are the Prime Priced Target in the SF Bay Area for the TV Broadcast Spectrum Auction.
ReplyDeleteLocal Govt will make a FORTUNE by selling KQED's Spectrum Band to the Telecon's....Forget about KRON or KOFY...This is the Big Prize....They will shut off the lights!
KQED.
ReplyDeleteA business with the most enlightened management in America.
Where minority production personnel are continually denied advancement opportunities.
Hmmm.... all the hallmarks of a liberal Democrat.
If you only knew who are connected to them and who quietly politically support the KQED board. ...
ReplyDeleteSpoken like a liberal Democrat, my skin color is the reason I can't advance, not your work habits and reliability.
ReplyDeleteI gave up on KQED when they took over San Jose's KTEH with promises to produce more local programming. We're still waiting.
