I have tried contacting them, but they won't engage in any conversation in finding some kind of compromise. This attitude says a great deal about the management there.

To me, the nexus between your expertise as a UW professor and the public radio station based at the UW is obvious. Is there no possible way that some common ground could be found?<br /><br />I recently renounced my long-standing membership with KUOW because of your firing. I sent an e-mail detailing my reasons to a number of people at KUOW. I was surprised to receive some detailed responses. The fact that they even responded indicated to me that the issue is still alive for them.<br /><br />I really think you should be on KUOW. I know you have issues with them but no situation is ever perfect.<br /><br />Just a thought but if an independent mediator were brought into the picture would you be willing to participate?<br /><br />You are a true resource to the community at large and to me it would be tragic if so path couldn't be found where a UW professor devoted to communicating his field to his community couldn't have a place on our community's public radio station.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14561819188624903320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-4401981272050816792011-06-16T05:59:22.222-07:002011-06-16T05:59:22.222-07:00Even Juan Williams found a better place at a more ...Even Juan Williams found a better place at a more tolerable station, and so will you.

(Lots of tornadic storms in MI.)<br /><br />Live weather radar really changed how TV stations did tornado alerts. Before they had access to it, they mostly just repeated the NWS warnings in a crawl and left it at that. Being able to show on-screen, live, where the storms were and where they were going really made it all a lot more clear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-43504551523052351692011-06-15T06:49:29.838-07:002011-06-15T06:49:29.838-07:00I hope you can be on more than one station.

Ye..."and the colors can be confusing..."<br /><br />Yes, that is one of the most horribly chosen color scales I've ever seen. And it perplexes me why weather people put up with things like that. You all have computers, why not use them and change the colors?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-57258151690744989562011-06-14T23:15:13.513-07:002011-06-14T23:15:13.513-07:00I did notice the sunset wind shift... points to me...I did notice the sunset wind shift... points to me. :-)<br /><br />I'm so glad you're in the process of finding another radio home. The blog and podcast are great but they (by definition) do not reach the uninitiated public. <br /><br />Once you find a permanent radio home, I'd love to see you continue with a periodic education-opinions podcast and (pretty-please-with-a-cherry-on-top!) would be thrilled if you would occasionally do a high-level, explain complicated weather things geek-out podcast. I know that such a challenging podcast might be beyond my knowledge or even my math abilities, but I sure would enjoy the push and would study it and the necessary topics until I understood it. The chances of me getting to audit or actually take your courses are next to none, but this stuff fascinates me.<br /><br />Anyway, enough shameless begging LOL I am planting my tomatoes and pepper plants THIS WEEKEND. I can't stand waiting another minute longer, but all the people in my community garden who have already planted their tomatoes have early blight... it's going to be hard to keep my plants healthy.JewelyaZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09434569437851248356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-30671044581806398272011-06-14T23:00:08.792-07:002011-06-14T23:00:08.792-07:00/crosses fingers for KPLU/crosses fingers for KPLUKolyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858090647429676215noreply@blogger.com
