Thread Name: Has YOUR NPR programming gone downhill?
Subject: RE: Has YOUR NPR programming gone downhill?
Writing and calling the station (WMNF 88.5 Tampa FL) got no good results, just a lot of double talk from the program managers and other staff who in fact made me feel like I was less than a nobody. The concensus of their replies was 'If you've got the money, put up or shut up'. I did happen to catch wind of the fact that they were trying to get money from the State of Florida which they felt was due them. I started a letter writing campaign to various state offices explaining that the station was focusing more on profit than being a PUBLIC Radio Sation and that any monies should be denied them until they changed their way of thinking. I don't know if they ever got the funding or not because I got so disgusted with the station that I totally tuned them out of my life.
