Does this have anything to do with the allegation that a member of Hawkesbury Radio (not necessarily John Bryant) has spent $14,000 of station funds on Kentucky Fried Chicken?
That rumour has been doing the rounds of community radio throughout Sydney for several months now.
No wonder members are asking questions of the Board about their financial accounts.
And it might also be useful if ACMA took this opportunity to look into the "community inclusiveness" of this station. Unless you want to run an English speaking, music based programme, you've got no chance of being heard on air in the Hawkesbury. Hardly representative of the makeup of the local community.
Could somebody please translate what Adam McGrath said.
Welcome to community radio where such actions and activities are all too common. It's just the nature of the beast although boards and committees do change over time.
Did an Anonymous commenter just call another anonymous commenter (Chicken Man) a coward for not disclosing their name?
Welcome to the internet, Anonymous.
This board at Hawkesbury Radio, most of them have been there for well over ten years they will do anything to stay in power including dismissing memberships. If you speak out then you are out. They totally need investigating.
Looking down the list of contributors to this conversation, it's obvious that only Adam McGrath has used his real name.
As for me being a coward, not so. I just choose not to give anyone at Hawkesbury Radio the satisfaction of knowing who I am.
When ACMA brings on their investigation into the Hawkesbury Radio license, as they surely will, you might see me in the guise of an alternate applicant, prepared to bring professionalism and community inclusiveness to the Hawkesbury.
And I notice that nobody has refuted the rumour of the $14,000 of station funds spent on KFC .....
