Opportunity for connected individual?

Opportunity for connected individual?

Post by genlock »

Gazette Sunday/Kabler:



"While the rumor is that West Virginia Public Broadcasting Executive Director Dennis Adkins will step down before the next Educational Broadcasting Authority meeting on Sept. 12, Adkins said that's news to him.

"I have no reason to do that. I'm just waiting to hear what they [the EBA] decide to do," he said.

At its meeting Aug. 22, the authority met in closed session for about an hour to discuss Adkins' employment status. Reportedly, the members were not impressed by Adkins' proposals for cutting WVPB expenses in light of ongoing revenue reductions."

What am I saying? My background is legitimate news reporting. You know, where you're objective and all that. It never would fly with public broadcasting.

If you have an ass that fits the chair and are politically connected, you are perfect for the job.

I could not possibly do as much damage as the ones who have been there.

I hear his career as a part time bait and cigarette salesman near Myrtle Beach is not going well.
Lord knows what kind of applications they will get for the EBA job.
Here I am talking like Dennis is toast.

So that is why he is looking for apartments in Charleston. Kanawha Co. won't put up with his antics.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The executive director of West Virginia Public Broadcasting announced Thursday that he will retire effective Dec. 21.

Dennis Adkins' announcement followed an hour-long, closed-door session of the Educational Broadcasting Authority to discuss personnel matters, and after months of Adkins being at odds with authority members over finances and the future of public broadcasting in the state.

In accepting Adkins' retirement, EBA members directed chairman Bill File of Beckley to begin a comprehensive search for a new executive director, and to appoint a task force to study the future of public broadcasting.
