First of all, I don't want anything to do with the TV station. I'm a radio girl. So now I've had to "like" the KERA feed and endure a bunch of CRAP about the TV station because they didn't separate the feeds. Idiotic.
Second, all I wanted, ever, was a phone call from Mary Anne Alhadeff. Instead, she had her assistant call me. I withdrew my support and am still waiting for her call. It's Public Radio, not the CIA. You don't get to pawn me off on your assistant.
Third, they claim they've asked for audience feedback on the schedule change... I listen every day. I listen so much that everything they put on the air between programs gets redundant. I have their PSAs and promos memorized. I could DO their pledge drives, I'm so well versed. They never, not once, solicited listener feedback on the schedule change. We lost Tell Me More, The Story, Splendid Table, and On The Media.
I am trying to stay calm and be rational, but I'd like to fire whomever made this decision. I'm gonna have to see if I can't get myself involved with the BOD. Won't that make them happy?

Use podcasts or a mobile app called Stitcher. Then can can program "your" radio station just as you would like.
I loved Splendid Table. Must be $$ problems. The more they remove what we like the less likely we are going to be to give them money. Not a good downward spiral
Of the four, Tell me More, The Story, Splendid Table, and On the Media, I would miss the latter. But I must admit I don't go out of my way to listen to anything. When in the car, I only listen to KERA and KXT. And they both get my $ too.
