[Mpls] RE: Should the Mpls Schools be operating a radio station at all

[David Shove]

So, Mr Marshall, if KBEM is privatized, as seems to be your dearest wish,
which mega-corporate conglomerate do you prefer - Clear Channel, Bill
Kling, Christian Broadcasting, or what?

I on the other hand will do what I can to keep KBEM public, serving the
commuity and providing diversity.
