BCS Vote of No Confidence

In one of our earlier posts we pointed out that Todd Wilken and Jeff Schwarz should not have been the ones held responsible for the losses at KFUO AM. Instead, the management of of KFUO AM should have been the ones held responsible (that's the way things work in the real business world).

It turns out that the Board for Communication Services (BCS) shares our sentiments. In fact, according to the Reverend Joel Brondos, a former member of the BCS, in April 2007 the BCS had a vote of NO Confidence for the KFUO management including Dennis Stortz and Chuck Rathert.

The details of this vote of no confidence can be read by clicking here.

This leads us to again ask, if the decision to cancel Issues Etc. was a business decision then why were Todd and Jeff blamed for KFUO AM's operating losses rather than management?

It is not hard to see that if KFUO's management had carried out the recommendations of the BCS then it is highly likely that KFUO's financial outlook would have improved significantly.

Blaming Todd and Jeff for KFUO's financial problems is like blaming the Enron scandal on the company's receptionist.

This would be like owning a restaurant and sacking two waiters instead of the manager, chef, and financial management.

Can someone please check to find out the facts of why Diane Summers is now no longer broadcasting or listed as a host of The Morning Show? I would hate to see her as a pawn to justify the previous actions done at the station.
