The January 2010 GM Report to the Board |
|
The General manager's January 2010 Report to the Board of Directors is online with revised financials. We had a good first half of the year. We still owe a lot of money but if the past two quarters indicate any sort of a trend, then we are moving in the right direction. |

In Memory of Andrea Jacobson |
|
 Terminal Whimsy show-host Andrea Jacobson was lost to cancer on January 7th. Andrea always said her show wasn't about music, but about ideas. One show, called 'twinkling pianos," was dedicated to piano pieces that featured arpeggios. Another show featured acoustic guitar solos by musicians with "smiles in their fingers."
Andrea was born in New Jersey in 1944. She was a disciplined scholar as well as a creative artist. She won a full scholarship to Cornell University, where she got her masters degree in Home Economics and Design.
Andrea was involved in many different kinds of activities. She was a valued player on the 4-person bocce ball team, called Fore Play, of course. She has friends from her stay at Pomo Tierra Ranch in Yorkville. Andrea had a graphics business, Curlymind Productions, which featured her intricate and 'curly' designs. In the 70's she was part owner of the Philo Cafe, and had another business in Ukiah, the Sewing Corner. Andrea taught math in the ROP program at Ukiah High and was treasurer of her teachers' union, the Mendocino County Federation of School Employees. In her last days, she helped start up the new "Lovin' Blooms" nursery in Anderson Valley. Andrea is deeply missed by her singing cohorts, the "Bronnettes," as well as her many colleagues at KZYX-Z. One other note: It was Andrea's pledge and gift of $10,000 that allowed us to reach our goal at the last pledge drive. So, along with our love comes our deepest gratitude.

Make a contribution right here or call us at 707-895-2233 or 800-298-1296 or send a check to: KZYX PO Box 1 Philo, CA 95466. It is very expensive to run this station every month and we are in the middle of a very lean summer. Even with three transmitters, we can't reach everyone. And, to help our programmers not have to drive so far, we have three separate studios. So, our expenses are more like a big city operation. It costs more than $40,000 each month to operate. So, even with a $100k pledge goal being met, that money lasts less than three months. We're community owned and operated, so we need your support. And it’s easy! If you're a member already -- bring someone new in. Every Member Get a Member!
