The fight against 5G cell towers moves to Oceanside
Samuel Paxson- Both sides have real scientific and medical people supporting their cause. It is true the research on humans is incomplete so far although there is one that shows it really nukes mice. At any rate, it is a fact is the City of Encinitas and other California cities have in fact voted to ban 5G transmitters in their communities to varying degrees. That's a reality. That's the story. Government banning of this new unproven technology exists. And yes, the thought that some people's gene pool isn't high enough to reach their ankles does cross my mind from time to time Mr. Paxson.

Palomar, SDSU, City College – which one for future DJs?
Swell....the stations are kksm am-1320.....KSDS 88.3 fm and kpbs 89.5 fm.....they are broadcast over the airwaves. To listen to them online just Google their call letters. Or....what stations did you mean?

Palomar, SDSU, City College – which one for future DJs?
This just in....On Saturday KKSM won big at the 2020 Intercollegiate Broadcasting System awards haded out in New York City. KKSM won BEST COMMUNITY COLLEGE RADIO STATION in the nation. Dan Sweeney's "One Hit Wonders" won for Best Community Volunteer Program, Ceili Orr won for Best Commercial, Hailey Wild won for Best Promotional Event, Mikayla Barrett (“Magical Mornings with Mikayla”) was a finalist for Best Specialty Music Show, Jordan Spurgeon was a finalist for Best Sports Talk Show, and KKSM was also a finalist for Best On-Air Pledge Drive.

Palomar, SDSU, City College – which one for future DJs?
dealwithit- I think everyone who listens to Jazz 88 (and even many who don't) would agree that the station is a wonderful cultural asset. But it is licensed to a college. SDCC owns KSDS. I found it odd that the president of SDCC did not want to comment about the issue that the district is bleeding cash to keep it afloat, to keep all these full-time people employed, while it does not provide the educational component that SDSU or Palomar do. People are getting fired right and left in the real radio world. But these 12 KSDS employees keep getting their paychecks while KSDS keeps slipping into debt, as its costs keep getting covered by the community college district. I get the impression that the KSDS crew understands this dole out business model cant go on forever. None of the KSDS jazz-heads want Jazz 88 to go away. But what if a different owner could operate it without costing the district hundreds of thousands of dollars a year as a KEXP-style or classical station. I guarantee that KCRW and KEXP respectively have huge followings and public support AND they can pay their own bills.

Palomar, SDSU, City College – which one for future DJs?
dealwithit- please see CPA statement on the KSDS website under the "financials" pulldown. The fundraising does not cover the employees.

Carlsbad Village Coins evicted from State Street
While I would like to think this article and the response it generated had something to do with this turnaround, it was Sarah Lenhert and attorney Dennis Burns who did all the heavy lifting. Lenhert did this on her own dime, because it was the right thing to do.

Carlsbad Village Coins evicted from State Street
This letter dated March 4 came to Danny Ray from the law office of Kimball, Tirey & St. John LLP: TO: Daniel Ray, an individual DBA Carlsbad Village Coins Notice is hereby given that the 30-day notice to terminate vacancy dated January 31, 2020, is hereby rescinded and withdrawn. By: Christine Relph

Palomar, SDSU, City College – which one for future DJs?
dealwithit...Yes you may not hear a daily tribute to Women's History Month anywhere else. What I meant is that there are specialty channels that just focus on big band or straight-ahead jazz or blues on a 24/7 basis. The big question seems to be that as countless people are losing their jobs in commercial radio, why is the SD community college district draining its general fund to cover all these KSDS full-time and part-time employees year after year while it provides no direct on-air experience/education to SDCC students (on its main station).
— March 5, 2020 9:38 a.m.
Palomar, SDSU, City College – which one for future DJs?
The $26-million KPBS figure cited in the article is for both KPBS broadcast entities...TV and radio.
— March 4, 2020 6:56 p.m.
Palomar, SDSU, City College – which one for future DJs?
Strelnikov - Yes, there are stations like KCR that also exist at Grossmont and UCSD. I was focusing on stations with real, on-air broadcast capability, that are non-profit and college based. There are only three in San Diego County. KKSM's historical ability to produce ex-students who get jobs in the real broadcast world is remarkable. While KPBS does not not allow SDSU students to get on the air, their internship program has a huge educational component. I think the governing board of SDCC needs to explain how all this money from their general fund goes to pay for these full-time KSDS staffers which contributes nothing to the education and/or job preparation for area community college students. Yes, it is nice to have KSDS around, although there is nothing on KSDS you cant find on internet/satellite stations. It is absolutely amazing what KKSM's Zeb Navarro does with 500 AM watts and $10,000. a year as far helping students interface with the broadcasting world for the first time.

The fight against 5G cell towers moves to Oceanside
Samuel Paxson- Both sides have real scientific and medical people supporting their cause. It is true the research on humans is incomplete so far although there is one that shows it really nukes mice. At any rate, it is a fact is the City of Encinitas and other California cities have in fact voted to ban 5G transmitters in their communities to varying degrees. That's a reality. That's the story. Government banning of this new unproven technology exists. And yes, the thought that some people's gene pool isn't high enough to reach their ankles does cross my mind from time to time Mr. Paxson.— March 18, 2020 1:48 p.m.
Palomar, SDSU, City College – which one for future DJs?
Swell....the stations are kksm am-1320.....KSDS 88.3 fm and kpbs 89.5 fm.....they are broadcast over the airwaves. To listen to them online just Google their call letters. Or....what stations did you mean?— March 9, 2020 5:14 p.m.
Palomar, SDSU, City College – which one for future DJs?
This just in....On Saturday KKSM won big at the 2020 Intercollegiate Broadcasting System awards haded out in New York City. KKSM won BEST COMMUNITY COLLEGE RADIO STATION in the nation. Dan Sweeney's "One Hit Wonders" won for Best Community Volunteer Program, Ceili Orr won for Best Commercial, Hailey Wild won for Best Promotional Event, Mikayla Barrett (“Magical Mornings with Mikayla”) was a finalist for Best Specialty Music Show, Jordan Spurgeon was a finalist for Best Sports Talk Show, and KKSM was also a finalist for Best On-Air Pledge Drive.— March 8, 2020 12:47 p.m.
Palomar, SDSU, City College – which one for future DJs?
dealwithit- I think everyone who listens to Jazz 88 (and even many who don't) would agree that the station is a wonderful cultural asset. But it is licensed to a college. SDCC owns KSDS. I found it odd that the president of SDCC did not want to comment about the issue that the district is bleeding cash to keep it afloat, to keep all these full-time people employed, while it does not provide the educational component that SDSU or Palomar do. People are getting fired right and left in the real radio world. But these 12 KSDS employees keep getting their paychecks while KSDS keeps slipping into debt, as its costs keep getting covered by the community college district. I get the impression that the KSDS crew understands this dole out business model cant go on forever. None of the KSDS jazz-heads want Jazz 88 to go away. But what if a different owner could operate it without costing the district hundreds of thousands of dollars a year as a KEXP-style or classical station. I guarantee that KCRW and KEXP respectively have huge followings and public support AND they can pay their own bills.— March 5, 2020 2:38 p.m.
Palomar, SDSU, City College – which one for future DJs?
dealwithit- please see CPA statement on the KSDS website under the "financials" pulldown. The fundraising does not cover the employees.— March 5, 2020 11:15 a.m.
Carlsbad Village Coins evicted from State Street
While I would like to think this article and the response it generated had something to do with this turnaround, it was Sarah Lenhert and attorney Dennis Burns who did all the heavy lifting. Lenhert did this on her own dime, because it was the right thing to do.— March 5, 2020 11:11 a.m.

Palomar, SDSU, City College – which one for future DJs?
dealwithit...Yes you may not hear a daily tribute to Women's History Month anywhere else. What I meant is that there are specialty channels that just focus on big band or straight-ahead jazz or blues on a 24/7 basis. The big question seems to be that as countless people are losing their jobs in commercial radio, why is the SD community college district draining its general fund to cover all these KSDS full-time and part-time employees year after year while it provides no direct on-air experience/education to SDCC students (on its main station).— March 5, 2020 9:38 a.m.

The $26-million KPBS figure cited in the article is for both KPBS broadcast entities...TV and radio.— March 4, 2020 6:56 p.m.
Palomar, SDSU, City College – which one for future DJs?
Strelnikov - Yes, there are stations like KCR that also exist at Grossmont and UCSD. I was focusing on stations with real, on-air broadcast capability, that are non-profit and college based. There are only three in San Diego County. KKSM's historical ability to produce ex-students who get jobs in the real broadcast world is remarkable. While KPBS does not not allow SDSU students to get on the air, their internship program has a huge educational component. I think the governing board of SDCC needs to explain how all this money from their general fund goes to pay for these full-time KSDS staffers which contributes nothing to the education and/or job preparation for area community college students. Yes, it is nice to have KSDS around, although there is nothing on KSDS you cant find on internet/satellite stations. It is absolutely amazing what KKSM's Zeb Navarro does with 500 AM watts and $10,000. a year as far helping students interface with the broadcasting world for the first time.— March 4, 2020 11:35 a.m.
