[Vision2020] no more "Views?"

[Art Deco aka W. Fox]

Tim, et al,

You have presented a wide variety of different views, some quite unpopular, on 
your show.  Some of these views do not receive much exposure elsewhere.  While I 
don't agree with many of your guests, I think it important that they have the 
opportunity to be broadcast that you provide.

If your show is discontinued, it will be a very unfortunate blow for free 
expression on the Palouse.  It is quite ironic that a university that should be 
the leader in fostering free-wheeling expression and debate on all topics should 
be compelled to censure or apologize for their own radio show that does just 
that.

I hope that you will continue your show with the heartfelt blessing of the 
university if not the community.

  Visionaries,
           This morning I sent the following email to the KUOI list-serve.
           If, in the near future, my show doesn't air at its regular Sun. 
morning time or if you don't see anymore of my regular notices about upcoming 
guests on my show, you'll know why.
           I know this likely qualifies for "tempest in teapot" status, but I 
just thought a few of you would want to know since some of you have been guests 
or even occasional listeners to my show.
          The "jury" is still out--just a heads-up.
              Thanks,
              Tim Lohrmann

    Hello everyone,
                   This morning I spoke with someone associated with KUOI about 
my Sunday morning show--"Moscow Morning Views."

                  The "gist" of the conversation was that this person believes 
that the way in which I conduct my show is a net negative for the station and 
the community. Basically, the thinking of this individual was that not only does 
my show not serve any good purpose but that it is counterproductive. I invited 
this person to come on my show to discuss their complaints, but they declined 
because they apparently didn't want to be associated with the show or thought it 
would be an inappropriate forum for their views.

                  While I disagree, my main interest is to not create any 
problems for KUOI.  If this person's views are widely held, this may be exactly 
what I have been/am doing. So, if the mangement thinks it best for the station 
that my show not continue, I'll be happy to discontinue hosting it.
                  Best,
                  Tim Lohrmann
