KPCW icon is still off the air - The Park Record

Trustees for Community Wireless of Park City met behind closed doors Thursday to debate whether Blair Feulner, the founder of KPCW, will stay employed at the National Public Radio affiliate.

Blair is an absolute cancer on the radio dial.

He (and his wife) took more than $2 million from a NON PROFIT organization over the last two years!!!

If Community Wireless brings him back, they are the stupidest people alive.

Blair was really nothing special on the radio. Terrible interviewer and crappy manager.

[Yep]

Two million for what? He interviewed me once and got every single statement I made incorrect during his report. I told him I would never again be interviewed by him.

[dink sweeny]

so let get this straight, because it's a non profit, all employees work for nothing? are just volunteers? it's under Blair's management that it was able to keep staffed, give back to the community, keep the community informed during emergencies, olympics, road/Highway construction update programming, stay on the air while many small town radio stations fold or are gobbled up by commercial companies. Go back to KSL talk radio or $4million limbaugh or hannity you "right" thinking individuals,
hope Bru sprays you

Dink -

I'm not expecting the employees to work for nothing, but dont' you think the $125,000 a year Blair and his wife were each paid (yes, they each got $125,000 a year) is a bit excessive? How about the $895,000 they got from the sale of a station they used KPCW assets to purchase? Why should Blair get an ownership cut of that?

Nonprofits should pay their employees. But Blair (and his wife) used it to enrich themselves at the expense of the station, and that's plain wrong.

I am glad Blair is gone. Up until now, I could not contribute to that place as long as I knew he was pumping money out of what is supposed to be a non-profit.

[Huh]

Non profits can certainly pay employees. The salary both of them received however, was ridiculous considering it's just a small town radio station.

This gives other non profits a bad name. I can't believe it went on as long as it did.

[Amen]

It is unbelievable the people who still support this con artist- not to mention how amazingly bad he was on the radio. The only reason the station was successful at all is because he continually ignored FCC public radio laws and gave "commercial" air time to business memebers in return for money and support.

Thanks god he is out - Finally!

[Snert]

The success of the station was virtually guaranteed by being in the richest demographic in the state, not station leadership.
