Come to the town hall meeting, Feb 20, 7pm
When: Monday, February 20, 7pm
Where: All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church, 730 N. Tejon
What: AGENDA FOR COMMUNITY MEDIA REFORM, PART ONE: KRCC
Why: To request community input in KRCC programming decisions
If you have any hope that the Colorado Springs community can reclaim a voice in the local media, please come to this meeting!
If you have tried to call KRCC with a programming suggestion, only to be told that you were the only one expressing that opinion, here’s a chance to meet plenty of like-minded listeners. This time your united voices cannot be denied!
If you have signed individual petition letters requesting Democracy Now, any of these past three years, only to receive NO REPLY, or
if you participated in the most recent presentation of hundreds of petitions, delivered quite foolishly on our knees, only to receive again NO REPLY, and
if you learned later from a newspaper article that those letters were not considered to constitute more than “a small faction,” then come to this meeting. Let’s show them how “small” is our collective voice!
If you have been told by KRCC that all programming authority rests with Colorado College, but
if you were then told by the college that they are satisfied to entrust KRCC to make all the programming decisions, then come to this meeting! Both Colorado College and KRCC will be there. Let them try to pass the buck to each other while both are in the room!
A quick note: this is not about being against Colorado College, nor against KRCC. Not one bit! Both are beloved jewels of this community. But something is broken in the mechanism by which the community is invited to participate, yet their opinions are marginalized and ignored.
This meeting will be a unique opportunity to speak truth to power. Both KRCC and Colorado College decision-makers will be there to explain their positions. On Monday night, college faculty, students and community will at last be able to express their concerns directly to those responsible for these past years of stonewalling and no replies.
Please do not miss this town-hall event. It’s your chance to be heard. Before we can do anything, we must reclaim our voice in the media.
