I for one would prefer to pay for (support) A/V content on the basis of how long/how many times I've viewed/listened to it. For things I enjoy, I'd like to be able to kick up a little more. For things I don't, I'd like to be able to retract my financial support.

I've been doing a lot of work on the coast of Mississippi, post Katrina. There is a huge need to get the issues out there. Some you may have read in the NYT, like Gov. Barbour redirecting HUD funds to rebuild the port rather than people's homes, as it was originally intended. If there are people with the new consortium you think I could contact, I'd really like to. Awareness of these issues is important. Bev Freeman Jake, it is good to read this post from you. I’ve been doing a lot of work on the coast of Mississippi, post Katrina.

Sorry and all respect to the initial idea, but one slot is clearly filled due to Facebook, forum-board and on-campus rallying and strategic ballot-stuffing. I hope that next year you reconsider the strategy, as it appears a shame that some contestants are clearly without a chance because of this flaw in the competition. And good luck to the 'final two', who got there out of merit alone. ‘Once again the top rated entry will be given “immunity” and a guaranteed slot in the next round’ - then what’s the point?

My only concern is that there is a glaring omission in the attendees at these discussions -- independent producers who are responsible for the best and brightest of public radio's most innovative work. Of course, PRX is at the center of distributing independent work and, as a fellow Board Member of AIR, Jake, I know you are sensitive to this issue. Nonetheless, I think it would be good to INCLUDE the Executive Director of AIR as an active participant in discussions about how digital distribution of content will occur in public broadcasting.
