Are These the People Who Are Really Responsible for KFUO AM's Losses?

Blaming Todd Wilken and Jeff Schwarz for the losses at KFUO would be like blaming the head cook on the Titanic for hitting the iceberg.

Below are photographs of the people who should be held accountable for KFUO's business failings along with some important questions that really need answers.

Dennis Stortz – Director of Broadcast, KFUO-AM/FM
Was he the one shifting KFUO-FM expenses to KFUO-AM books?

Dorothy Kaestner – Development Director, KFUO-AM/FM
How many Issues, Etc. donors did she visit?

Tom Ries – President of the LCMS Foundation
Why did Ries tell KFUO management that he considered Issues, Etc. “destructive”? AND Why was he charging KFUO 40% of all funds raised for the station?

Jim Connett – Program/Development Director, KFUO-FM
Why did the BCS vote to terminate Connett in January 2007? Why and how was this decision reversed? Why is he still working at KFUO?

And regarding the FM side, some additional questions:

How does the FM station explicitly proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ? If not, why not?
Do supporters for the FM station come by and large from the rank and rile of Lutheran congregations?

KFUO FM has always been a station the sold advertising---they used to employ sales people---when the last convention was held in St. Louis, I worked with some of them at the station---our booth provided dessert---apple strudel, of course!
