Re: “The Wolf Creek nuclear plant might melt down - in court

Wolf Creek has quality control inspectors who would've inspected and signed off on the component when the job was completed. The real problem with Wolf Creek is the management an staff. At least 97% of the staff is related or married in to a family so a sense of entitlement exists to who gets a job there. During my time there, some of the most unqualified people who have no business at such a facility are only there because of relatives, so there are many cover ups, and falsified paperwork done there I witnessed among other things. I've received threats and was harassed if I ever reported it. I was "laid off" so they could continue doing things improper. You can't say anything because they are well organized in cover ups and know how to make a possible whistleblower look like a liar. If you're looking for a job there and you're not related or married in a family there, forget it. Aside from that, the work done by ABB was inspected and approved, Wolf Creek's looking for a scapegoat to cover up for their shortcomings.

Re: “Google Fiber bails out North Kansas City's fiber-optic misfire

I've had nothing but positive interactions with the liNKCity staff over the past year and a half. The new director and sales manager have made numerous improvements to move liNKCity in the right direction. While their service may not be benficial to all, I apperciate their customer service.

Re: “KKFI 90.1 fills an hour with news from Al Jazeera

I only listen to KKFI for the musical programs, and they excel at that.

Commercial radio sucks putty balls.

Being a Libertarian, its hard for me to stay tuned for very long when the left-leaning political programs come on, unless its a topic I take to heart.

Since 90.9 the Bridge has announced it will now focus on more music programs, as well as get a more powerful transmitter (thanks to the recent PBS acquisition), KKFI will soon have some serious competition in the music category around town. A stronger signal for 90.9 will put them on a lot of radios in KKFI's turf that currently cant pull their signal.

I wonder if anyone at KKFI has crunched the numbers and pounded out the percentages to find out whether or not its the music, or the public affairs programming that brings in the most revenue when it comes to deciding what type of show to fill an opening with?

Maybe Charles Ferruza will join the discussion and provide a little insight.

Dracula - quit breathing out of your mouth.

Sounds like you're ok with genocide.

Another few mosques were bombed in Iraq. Sunni terror against Shia. Funded by Qatar! Hey so is...

Its actually a nicely made network. Its like the Fox News of a different continent. Popular, lots of money, covering stories people want to see.
