A measure of civility has emerged over the last few months of crisis, from which the efforts of Livingston appear to have sought to begin processes of focus and consolidation.
To his and his supporters’ credit.
Credit where due.
All to the good.
One still hears, however, not a single actual fresh idea.
One still hears, however, not the least interest in radio or media.
These are overwhelmingly talentless people. Interested in being heard, but with no driving passion for their medium. With no driving passion for much of anything, really.
But, yes, they’d like to be heard.
It seems to have, after literally years, dawned on them, slowly, slowly, slowly, that they need listeners.
So there are leisurely discussions of possibilities.
If you listen to this particular discussion, it’s immediately apparent that the Finance Committee can’t handle the complexities of even the simplest arithmetic.
I suppose that’s why they’re the Pacifica Finance Committee.
There are discussions, years old, as to whether there should be advertising and promotion first, or program improvement first.
These discussions lead, of course, nowhere.
We have references to the net as a promotional tool, from people, to judge from having heard them, with no grasp of how this worked in ancient times, a few years ago, and no idea, no clue at all, as to how it works now.
Here’s a hint: Without massive budget, one single thing drives explosive presence on social media. It’s called content. That’s how media works.
What a concept, huh?
They are not about media, they are not about content.
What they are about is wanting to carry on carrying on.
Who knows, with five powerful signals in five enormous markets they still may manage to scrape by, I suppose.
It won’t matter, though.
Why would it.
