I think there's a fear that the newcomers, who may not be attuned to our local cultural institutions, will call for more of the syndicated NPR programming that they may have heard in their previous homes. People who are public radio listeners, the first thing they do in a new community is they look for a public radio station. What we want them to discover when they find KUT is a public radio station that has qualities of what they expect from a leading station in a new community and that it connects them to this new community. And I think KUT has an important role in that. Many things in Austin have probably evolved around how the community has changed.
Every community goes through some type of evolution.
I daresay the Chronicle has probably evolved in some way. But the Chronicle has its differentiation from other media sources, as there should be. I think not simply to survive, but to meet our public service responsibility, that our station needs to reflect this. KUT is here for the long haul. We will have to evolve as the community does.
