Should the county buy 98 Star/WMDM/WKIK a generator?

And this has what to do with generators for the local stations?

I say it depends. If the county is requiring the radio station to be at its beck and call during a time of crisis then I say yes. Nothing is free. The bigger question that someone already mention was why don't they have one already?

Only if they buy me one too

I imagine a generator with enough juice to keep a radio station operational costs a bit more than your average generator.

I think a good idea would be for all the big businesses down here to pitch in a few bucks. I imagine it would be a tax write off, as well as good PR. Just my first thought at a solution.

You mean this wasn't a thread about how hard it is to get a good radio signal down here?

1) Its a business; let it fend for itself.
2) How would they be held accountable? You cant get a person on the phone when you call no matter how hard you try.
3) They suck.

Bad personal experience with them?

Why would it be a write off. Last I checked they were a for-profit business. That's like saying the area businesses should pitch in and give money to 7-Eleven.

And I'm guessing I missed a news article or something, but what prompted this thread, I assume someone made this to the county as a serious proposal?

That's because you mis-dialed the last digit in the number and called me by mistake. You got a busy signal, because I was online.

You guys can't be serious! That radio station makes a TON of money and could afford a generator if they wanted to. The owner's just too cheap to buy one for the few times he'd need it.

I'm trying to imagine him going to Sonny Burch and asking him to pony up for a generator for the radio station.
