We've been #PledgeStrike-ing for 9 months now. How much money have you withheld from @kdhx in that time? Are you more or less angry than you were last fall?
KDHX listenership continues to trend downward, falling below 1% of the #StL market to .7 - they were close to 3% just a couple of years ago.
When will Kelly Wells and Gary Pearson admit that they are murdering a community radio station and have alienated >3/4 of their listeners?
Another month, another KDHX ratings drop, down to .6, which is 80% lower than recent years!
Don’t give shameful Kelly Wells a penny of your hard earned money, she will squander and waste your dollars, like she has for years.

Incisive letter regarding the ongoing KDHX fiasco in @stltoday this morning. When will the KDHX board open its eyes?

Today would have been a great May Day show from bobEE Sweet on Uncontrollable Urge!
Too bad "management" prefers controllable urges.

Trying some social media posts again to see whether we've gone away? Well we haven't. You are, obviously, replaceable and will be replaced until there is a management change and your wrongs have been righted.
Kelly Wells and Gary Pierson are killing off our beloved station.

KDHX's latest tax return paints a worrisome picture: revenue is down, the station has blown through its cash reserves and it lost $327,653 in 2023. one number that has gone up, though, is executive director Kelly Wells' compensation shorturl.at/ctP07
To reiterate: While Kelly Wells & Gary Pierson were actively slandering volunteers, saying they were hurting finances & diversity initiatives at KDHX, "management" was legally out of compliance in regards to even their Diversity Statement, oversights costing the org thousands!
In September 2023, as KDHX was completing its purge of dissenting volunteers (of which I was one), it was being audited by @CPBmedia and ultimately fined $2500 for non-compliance. A waste of donor money and another betrayal of the community.

Wait til' you hear the latest about #KDHX mismanagement causing donor dollars to go right out the door... Kelly and co are wasting donations, so don't donate - it's that simple! #PledgeStrike

Because nothing says community media like threatening your volunteers — you know the ones who make it all possible — with termination for breathing a word in public about an email. – at Clayton, MO

Can't wait til KDHX is able to rebuild, restore, and move on from Kelly's many messes.

today's ruling means that efforts to oust two current board members and seat three others will move forward in court riverfronttimes.com/music/kd…
“ After a year of turmoil, it is time for KDHX management to recognize its responsibility in this crisis, stop weaponizing the values of DEI, and finally regain the trust of the community.”
