KUNM 89.9 FM Monthly Program Guide

Zounds! is available online at kunm.org. December 2006

What you may not know is Mary has been Development Director for a couple of other very cool community radio sta- tions including KVNF in Paonia, CO and WMUB in Oxford, Ohio. And for three years in the early 1990s, Mary was Senior Vice President of Marketing and Human Resources at The Pinnacle Group in Lancaster, PA where she wrote nearly half- a-million dollars worth of grants while supervising a team of nine staff members in a multi-million dollar department.

Of course, if you know Mary, you know she is one of the most likeable and skilled individuals ever to grace the third floor of Onate Hall here at the station. Mary has promised to “bring every bit of creativity, education and experience I have to bear on continuing the legacy of KUNM’s service.” Please join us in welcoming Mary to her new position as KUNM’s Development Director. n The changing of the guard - Mary Oishi takes over as KUNM’s Development Director by Richard S. Towne, KUNM General Manager I am very pleased to announce that Mary Oishi is KUNM’s new Development Director. Mary started work at KUNM on November 13 - working from the office that for so many years has served as home base for Mary B.’s in- credible commitment to KUNM and the listeners we serve.

Mary comes back to KUNM after a couple years ab- sence when she served as KUNM’s Underwriting Market- ing Specialist from 1999 to June 2004. In the intervening years, Mary has worked to raise funds for Native America Calling and National Native News as Koahnic Broadcast Corporation’s National Resource Development Specialist.

Listeners may know Mary as a regular on-air volunteer during Freeform, or the Blues Show, or as part of the pitch team on Train to Glory. Of course, Mary is widely acknowl- edged throughout our listening community as a gifted poet, and powerful advocate for equality, social justice and diversity.

Many of our www.freepress.org volunteers met Mike www.cpb.org since he started help- KUNM Chief Engineer Mike Stark ing us this summer and they know that Mike loves Radio - including the art, the craft and the science.

As we started to look for engineering support this sum- mer, I began talking to people about who might be avail- able to help KUNM. The most frequent question I heard was “Do you know Mike Stark?” The question was inevita- bly followed by an exclamation along the lines of “He’s the best,” or “You’ll really enjoy working with Mike” or “He really knows his stuff.”

Folks in the engineering community don’t talk like that unless they’re in earnest. It was our great fortune that Mike came in to help us -- especially with finishing the digital conversion and new antenna projects which were on the drawing board when Mike got started.

Mike has worked in New Mexico radio engineering for about three decades. He spent 20 of those years volunteer- ing his expertise to help sustain KHFM (classical) while the station was locally-owned. Mike is also active as a ham radio operator, and he’s a volunteer usher at Popejoy. My point in mentioning that is just this: Mike understands the value that volunteers bring to the table and he appreciates the grand adventure of community-based KUNM.

Best of all, Mike likes to help people achieve a better understanding of the tools of the trade. There is no such thing as a wrong question when you to talk to Mike. Be- lieve me, I know this first-hand.

Mike served for five years as state-wide Director of  #6*-%*/(0/   7 0 - 6 / 5 & & 3 4 4UVEFOUT 4UBGG  "MVNOJ(JWF #BDLUP6/.  $PNNVOJUZ IFTQJSJUPGWPMVOUFFSJTN JTBMJWFBU6/.JOUIF 5IFBSUTPGNBOZTUVEFOUT  TUBGGBOEBMVNOJ8IFUIFSUIFZIFMQ SVO,6/.PSQBSUJDJQBUFJO4QSJOH4UPSN  WPMVOUFFSTGFFMSFXBSEFECZDPOUSJCVUJOH UIFJSUJNFBOEUBMFOUUPBHPPEDBVTF 6/.)VNBO3FTPVSDFBOE4QFDJBM 1SPKFDUT.BOBHFS.JNJ4XBOTPO DPOEVDUFEBTVSWFZPOWPMVOUFFSJTN BNPOH6OJWFSTJUZFNQMPZFFT0VUPG SFTQPOTFT SFQPSUFEWPMVOUFFSJOH 0GUIF FBDIEFEJDBUFEBUMFBTUUISFF BOEBIBMGIPVSTQFSXFFLWPMVOUFFSJOH i*UIJOLJOUIFSFBMNPG SFXBSE ZPVDBOJODMVEF BTFOTFPGJOWFTUNFOU &MBJOF#BVNHBSUFM B6/.HSBEVBUFTUVEFOUJODPNNVOJDBUJPOBOEKPVSOBMJTNBOE,6/.WPMVOUFFS JOZPVSDPNNVOJUZ‰ TJODF GFFMTBUIPNFJOUIFSBEJPTUBUJPOTDPOUSPMSPPN
