COMPLAINT TO CPB OIG REQUESTING THEY AUDIT KDHX

https://cpboig.oversight.gov/report-fraud-contact-us

 A request to the Corporation of Public Broadcasting to audit KDHX and Kelly Wells, in particular the applications, use of funds, vacant board seats, and elimination of membership has been submitted to the  Office Of Inspector General at the address above.  

I forgot to copy the complaint before I submitted it, but the above is the gist, and supporters are encouraged to send their own. 

SAVE KDHX WEBSITE

 The people that host the facebook group and protests on Mondays have an official website.  

https://savekdhx.com/

If you scroll the main page, in addition to the articles about KDHX and Tom Ray, etc, and letter from the station, you will find some individual stories about dealing with Kelly Wells posted.  

Also, lots of photographs.

The petition is posted on another page, and there is contact us form. 

It's new so hopefully more strategy and actions will be posted soon.  

LISTENER PROTEST EMAILS SENT TO KDHX

If you would like to share your email to KDHX please email it to bookemonsterslpl@gmail.com and let me know if you want your name attached.  Also the date you sent it. 

Sent April 4, 2023

As some of you may or may not be aware, the backlash in the wake of the debacles of 2019 and the eventual termination of Tom "Papa'Ray is growing exponentially. I am quite sure that you will find this reflected in the pathetically low number of pledges during the recent fund drive, and subsequent loss of revenue. We the community are angry.

1. We are angry about the termination of a beloved volunteer member and on air personality.

2. We are angry that community is no longer a factor at the station.

3. We are angry at the lack of representation by KDHX throughout the community, particularly during the Music at the Intersection event recently. Not only was KDHX not present at an event happening literally nextdoor, but the KDHX sign was extinguished for the duration of the event.

4 . We are angry that there are only eight members sitting on a Board of Directors when a board of fifteen is called for in the bylaws, and that the eight existing members are a thoroughly homogenous group that is hardly representative of the demographics of the community.

5. We are angry that we the donors from the community are now only considered donor listeners, and not donor members, thereby removing our voices from the station.

6. We are angry that there is a distinct lack of accountability from station management, and from Kelly Wells in particular

7. We are angry that none of the concerns expressed by attending donor listeners present at the last Zoom meeting of the Board were addressed in any manner, but rather that the meeting was immediately adjourned following the last speaker.

8. We are angry that over a quarter of a million dollars were spent on outside consultants, and yet there has been no disclosure of what the consultation was about.

9. We are angry that no volunteers are being accepted at the station in any capacity.

10. We are angry that the Folk School now exists solely as an entity on Facebook, and we want to know where the funds are going that are dedicated for the Folk school.

11. We are angry that KDHX had payroll expenditures of $586,000.00 when there are only eight employees listed on the rolls.

12. We are angry that Kelly Wells remains as Executive DIrector for KDHX despite her obfuscation and divisiveness within the station.

13. We are angry that it is deemed as a conflict of interest for on air personalities to serve on the Board of Directors, and yet Kelly Wells is allowed to act as an on air personality, and serve as Executive Director, without there being any considerations of the same conflict of interest.

I send you this letter to give you notice that the Community upon which you so heavily depend has had enough of the situation, and that we demand change in the status quo. We truly love our Community radio station, and refuse to see it be brought down by a self serving and inept management structure. It would behoove you to take heed of these concerns, as your Executive Director is rapidly bringing the station down around your ears. Please restore this station to its prior greatness, as it has been a highly valued asset to the City of St. Louis, and the Community at large.

PETITION TO SAVE KDHX

 https://chng.it/V4yDN22w6R

The current leadership of KDHX, Saint Louis's Community radio station has failed to live up to the community in community radio.

Recent conflicts have shed light on the leadership's inability to adequately hear, or address the concerns of the community. 

By signing this petition, you agree that this leadership has not served the community well over the last few years. We ask that the leadership address the concerns of the community: community/volunteer involvement, organizational transparency, and creating capacity for community voices to be heard.  If the leadership is unable or unwilling to hear the community's voices, then they should make room for leadership that will.

THE BATTLE VERSUS THE WAR

The battles versus the war, and the various scenarios on how something like this plays out:

The main focus of the organizers of this page (the KDHX facebook page) is to get Kelly fired. That’s one battle in the war. You all want to meet with the people who have the power to fire her. There are other people in this group who want that, but only as it pertains to other changes at the station. They want to fight other battles. And at the first demo, not even a week ago, the demands were to get Tom reinstated and an apology, to engage the community, etc. The battles change as the war goes on.

Unless you have something that the Board wants or needs, there is no reason for them to include you in the process. They don’t have to meet with anyone to fire Kelly. And they don’t have to meet with anyone to make changes. The Board has been complicit, and since no one has any real authority, they do a clamshell, wait out the protests, and see if legal action is incurred.

Everyone wants the leverage to meet with the board and “do battle” – i.e., get these changes made. That leverage can come in myriad ways. This is why, no matter what battle you are fighting, you want to be part of the larger war, as much as possible. The war is against the way the station is being run. Each issue is a battle.

“We want Kelly fired for all of these reasons.” The misuse of funds, the disrespect to volunteers, the lack of diversity, etc. All of these are battles, and each of these battles will be fought by different soldiers. Not everyone cares about the same things. And some of these battles will be fought further down the line. Getting a meeting with the board to get Kelly fired- or for any other reason- is just the first step.

Your best leverage is to get control of as much of their funding as possible. The “war fund.” And demand a meeting with the Board and bring up all the battles. Firing Kelly will encompass a lot. But while you are there you want to lay the groundwork for the changes that need to be in place so that this never happens again.

If everyone does a little, no one has to do a lot. But all the battles should have a central person or group of people that coordinates all of the battles and keeps them together. This allows every issue to be addressed. There is an organic democracy to this approach as well- the most important issues will have the most backing.

What happens in stuff like this a lot is, at first everyone is focused on just one thing, and all of the passion and emotion that have driven people to alter their day to day lives and get involved burns out. That is why Boards and Directors will sit on things. They can count on fatigue. And if people aren’t withholding money or labour, it doesn’t affect their bottom line.

And the other thing that happens is that without clear leadership out there on the picket line, when it does come time to meet with someone the Board can cherry pick. Who has the easiest the demands? They make that change, see it as concession, and work to get back to business as usual as soon as possible.

There is no need to focus on just one goal to the exclusion of all others- no need to fight just one battle, or one battle at time, in sequential order. You are stronger if you look for all the ways the individual issues overlap.

 ***

I've been a political activist for almost 42 years and I've led a lot of things like this.  I can't do that right now, and I thought that this post would be helpful.  But instead, the group leaders felt that I was "sowing division" and that inclusion of any other issues would create "too many voices at once".  I was told to "toe the line" or leave, and I chose to leave because I don't have the time to organize and lead this right now, and I have enough ties to other parts of the KDHX community.  My other posts remain, but they deleted this one.

There is room for many groups and movements, as I outline above, and if you are seeking to create effective action, I believe you will get some good ideas from this, and I do hope you will send your actions or letters here so that others can see them and to save them for posterity.  (We get a few hits a day.) 

THE FIRST STEP IN KELLY WELLS ASCENT TO QUEEN DICATOR AND DESTROYER OF KDHX

 One of Kelly's first coup d'etats was getting Beverly Hacker fired. 

Here is an letter from Ms. Hacker about that:

https://www.riverfronttimes.com/news/beverly-hacker-why-im-leaving-kdhx-2900295

I'm sorry to say that I bought the Board's official story at the time of Ms. Hacker's dismissal, that she was responsible for the cash flow crisis.  I think if they had kept her on the station would be better for it today. 

Certainly, she wouldn't have turned it into her private domain, put her husband's picture on the billboards, or made the focus of all off-air events she and said husband's folk school, or spent over a quarter of million dollars in consulting fees. And there would have been a memorial for John McHenry, and the station would still have members. 

OPERATIONALIZE THESE COMMITMENTS

KDHX under Kelly Wells has spent over $250,000 in the last two years alone on consultants.  Mostly Gladiator, but plenty of others.  

Consultants, of course, are like those old royal courtiers.  They have to say precisely what the queen wants to hear, but make it sound like they are giving her advice. (Also, a group of courtiers and a group of consultants are both called a "clusterfuck".  Historical fact.)

A burning question since Tom Ray's dismissal has been "who came up with the term 'operationalize these commitments'" because once found, that person will never be hired anywhere.  (Not even by the city leaders that determined that the answer to all of the ills of St. Louis were "talented young professionals with an entrepreneurial spirit." Which further proved those city leaders did not actually know what any of those words meant.)

"In 2020, KDHX committed to transforming this organization. The transformation was cocreated with our partners —- listeners, donors, staff, and volunteers. Through this process, we collectively developed a new purpose statement, a set of organizational values, and a strategic plan to guide our work and operationalize our commitments. In implementing this strategic plan and living into our values, KDHX has made a number of organizational changes, including the separation from Tom Ray. This decision was not made lightly, nor was it the comfortable or easy choice for anyone. The process of making the decision and the actions we took were aligned with the values and actions our community helped create in 2020."

I added the bold.  The quote is from the Riverfront Times article https://www.riverfronttimes.com/arts/tom-papa-ray-speaks-out-after-kdhx-firing-39566281

When you give to KDHX, you give to Gladiator and other consultants. Operating costs and salaries are mostly covered by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting Grant. 

Don't send Kelly Wells your money until she starts making some changes. Please. 

RADIO LISTENING ON THE DECLINE

One thing that Kelly Wells takes credit for is the increase in market share KDHX has garnered (10 years ago they were at about 30 and now they are at 16), and really it belongs to two things:

People have stopped listening to FM radio and instead use satellite or streaming services, or their own mixes. 

But indie and listener supported stations have remained stable.  People don't listen to indie radio for the same reasons, and the people that listen to indie radio are not the average radio listener.

And during Covid listeners increased. 

This has nothing to do with Kelly Wells.

POST ON FACEBOOK ABOUT TOM RAY'S DEDICATION TO THE STATION

 From his wife:

https://www.facebook.com/laura.edwardsray/posts/pfbid0suWXcAbmYnqsLZvckVjcX9tfVqEYCasqJ8GXRixVQijW2nEGVb16fqUNMWvBzcYJl

THIS WILL (HOPEFULLY) BE MY LAST POST ON THE SUBJECT -

1.   'Thomas Papa-ray, with a bunch of other St. Louis loving, music loving people helped to start KDHX-FM.

2.  He personally took out a loan, and donated thousands to support the station, along with helping to raise tens of thousands of dollars for the station.

3.  He, along with all of his friends, LOVED the station and promoted it everywhere he went.  No self-promotion, just KDHX (whether we were in the U.K., Sierra Nevada World Music Festival, etc. etc.)

4.  For 35 YEARS, he volunteered, and did a killer radio show.

5.  Arbitron ratings (according to KMOX) showed that his radio show was #3 in St. Louis.

6.  Hundreds of people in the last 2 weeks have protested, complained, wrote letters pulled their memberships/donations, and vouched for his character - even when Kelly Wells called him a bully and harasser.

7.  Inducted to the Hall of Fame along with Art Dwyer, Ron Edwards, John McHenry, and Denny Clancy.

8.  Not even allowed at the KDHX meeting last night to defend himself.

Tom's time is over - but it's not for all of the DJs who LOVE their job.  It's time for new management,

KELLY WELLS, IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO GO TO SAVE THIS STATION

MEETING ABOUT TOM RAY'S DISMISSAL FOR STAFF, VOLUNTEERS, AND BOARD MEMBERS

UPDATE:  **The meeting was little more than a recap of the public letter about Tom's dismissal, alleging he was a "bully" and "harassed and intimidated people".

From McClellan's article McClellan: Finding Middle Earth in corporate America (stltoday.com)

There were maybe 25 protesters. Ray was among them. He entered the establishment but was ushered out. “I’m not even allowed to defend myself,” he said.

Once inside, the invitees were addressed by Wolf Smith, who uses they/them pronouns, of the Conflict Resolution Center. They, or one of their colleagues, were the “facilitator” at the meeting during which Ray was fired.

According to minutes from the meeting at Parker’s Table — minutes which were not supposed to be released by any participant! — the Conflict Resoluter opened the meeting by asking people to share their expectations. From the minutes: “Wolf acknowledged that we were all bringing different expectations to the meeting and that Wolf would be available throughout the meeting if someone was feeling especially frustrated or felt they weren’t being heard.”

**** 
THE LETTER TO STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS 

We have heard from many of you since the dismissal of KDHX volunteer Tom Ray. We’ve conversed by phone, email, and in person. We’ve heard from some of you who are frustrated, and we’ve heard from some of you who are not. We have heard loud and clear from those we have talked to that we need to be in community and dialogue with each other as we move forward as partners in serving the mission of KDHX.

We agree that being together in person is important. We invite you to join staff, board members, and fellow volunteers for an in-person volunteer* meeting Wednesday, March 15, from 6:30 pm until 8:00 pm in the event room at Parker’s Table. Parker’s Table is located at 7118 Oakland Ave, Richmond Heights, MO 63117.

Through our conversations with volunteers this week, a few themes have surfaced, and we want to be able to speak to and answer questions about the topics you’ve raised with us. They are:

1. Tom Ray’s dismissal
2. Staff/Volunteer Connections
3. Drive

There will be the opportunity to raise other topics in the meeting as time allows.

We have asked a neutral facilitator from our partner, Conflict Resolution Center, to start our meeting by helping us set mutual expectations for each other and ourselves. The facilitator will not be facilitating the meeting, they will be opening it for us so that we can enter into constructive dialogue with each other.

We recognize that this is short notice and that many of you will not be able to attend. We will provide a summary of the meeting to all volunteers by email and in KDHX Connections on Thursday. If you cannot attend, we are available to you if you have questions or concerns or want to talk about KDHX.

Looking forward to seeing you,

Kelly Wells, kwells@kdhx.org

*This is a meeting for active volunteers only; outside guests will not be permitted.

NOTE OF APPRECIATION TO THE KDHX COMMUNITY FROM TOM RAY

 https://www.facebook.com/tom.papa.ray.9/posts/pfbid0RsF3NEjMHeHug11MsR6a6vntnKFrhNhJzqwpQhWf7qSpeNh7HVsDY8ZCKvj6gbk7l

MY GOD. How can I thank the sort of support and love shown to me in the wake of being dismissed from a radio station where I gave St. Louis the blues for 35 years?? My path to being fired by Kelly Wells & her hand-picked board of directors began because I wished to see a notable long time volunteer given his due by the station. Instead, management barfed up HR babble, and marked me for removal due to having the audacity to question this & her other failures as a well-paid 'leader' of KDHX. But all that my firing did was reveal how this station has changed from its original moorings. The bylaws have been made to allow management to operate with no accountability. What was a model for volunteer non-profit community radio has been largely stripped of volunteer participation and input, beyond the on-air hosts. After some soul-searching, I CANNOT return to the station for one simple existential truth: knowing what I know, I could not in good faith ask anyone to give their money to what KDHX has become. I was humbled by the outpouring of support, but this is far bigger than Tom Ray---THIS IS ABOUT KDHX. What goes on in the dark will soon come to light, & I truly hope judgement comes down harshly on those who betray the trust that was built by those with no other agenda than an independent radio station, an alternative to the commercial airwaves, a voice for the city. No worries about me! I am fine, humbled and grateful to see so many that have my back. Negotiations are going on now that will see me return as The Soul Selector on a major station in Metro St. Louis---in the meantime, as has been said by many---including ex-staff who resigned---KELLY MUST GO. Love And Music, every time!

KDHX LETTER TO THE COMMUNITY ABOUT TOM RAY'S DISMISSAL

https://kdhx.org/articles/inside-kdhx/3031-open-letter-to-the-community

Open Letter to the Community

We are writing to you not only as staff members and volunteers of KDHX but also as people who share the KDHX community. This is a community that we have all built together, and it is one that many of us rely on for connection. For many, including ourselves, KDHX serves as a source of joy, a wellspring of creativity, and a shining example of what media can be when free of commercial interests.

 

We have decided to speak openly about the dismissal, on February 28, of Tom “Papa” Ray from his show The Soul Selector in order to correct any misconceptions as to why it took place. We also feel that if we do not offer a clear account, the behaviors that he has exhibited will continue to be perpetuated by others, as evidenced by reactions from some members of the public since the news of his dismissal.

 

Tom Ray was removed from his volunteer role at KDHX because of a long history of bullying, aggression and harassment toward certain members of the KDHX staff and even some board members. He was not dismissed over one incident or issue but because of ongoing, problematic behavior. Members of the staff and the Board of Directors can attest to this pattern. He was given many opportunities, including mediated conflict resolution, to demonstrate that he was willing and able to work with KDHX in a constructive way.

 

We know this description of Tom Ray is probably difficult for some to hear. In the entire history of KDHX, only a handful of volunteers have been asked to leave the air. Given Tom Ray’s long history and his popularity, we did not make this decision lightly and this is not the outcome we had hoped for. However, we can no longer tolerate behavior that negatively affects others at KDHX and the organization itself.

 

Over the course of KDHX’s history, whenever a “controversial” situation has occurred, we have witnessed extreme and shocking reactions from some of our listeners. Some have been explicitly misogynistic and contain threats of violence, including death threats. In recent years, such responses have been amplified by social media and even local media outlets that are not in full possession of the facts. Unfortunately, we are witnessing this in full force once again this week, which has prompted the disclosure you are reading.

 

Are the intense reactions to decisions made at KDHX because people feel so strongly about the station? Yes, that is certainly part of it. Over the years, we have had countless conversations with listeners who want to share how much KDHX means to them. They express a deep emotional connection to the station itself and the people they hear on the air. We also recognize that when one has a strong emotional connection, change can spark fear—the fear that the connection you have will be altered, that the things you love and appreciate about KDHX might end.

 

A fear of change—and disagreement about why or how that change takes place—is entirely  understandable, but it does not warrant abusive and threatening behavior and language toward the KDHX staff, the Board or volunteers. A fear of change most certainly warrants asking questions and offering feedback in a constructive way. We will always answer your questions. You may not always get the answer you want to hear, but we will respond to you.

 

We know it takes a lot to trust people you don’t know personally, but please know that both the staff and the governing board keep the station’s best interest and the mission at the forefront of all that we do. We are working diligently to ensure that KDHX thrives now and in years to come. We are glad to be a part of a community that values kindness, mutual respect and creative collaboration. And we thank our listeners for their patience, understanding and constructive dialogue so that KDHX can continue to be here for everyone.

BOARD MEETINGS MAY BE VIEWED BY THE PUBLIC BUT WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK

 https://kdhx.org/board-and-meetings

KDHX is no longer a community station and does not have Members, only donors ("supporters"), and free labor ("volunteers").  

They don't update the website or the meetings, and the Community Advisory Board has been dismantled but is still listed on their page and in many of their filings, including for grants and funding. (A clear violation that should be addressed.)

The public can view but not speak at the meetings.

TOM RAY'S FINAL STATEMENT ON FACEBOOK CONCERNING KDHX

 

https://www.facebook.com/tom.papa.ray.9/posts/pfbid0byoxQmQsZP5NmthcrpDshaEDDnGRtVnWyZPdVCarMnb42Lu67EoSC6nMM9BdD6cul

THIS IS MY FINAL STATEMENT on FB concerning KDHX, & it is done so due to the self-serving bit of defamation by Kelly Wells, accusing me of 'bullying and harrassment' behavior as the reason for my dismissal: "What Kelly Wells calls 'bullying' means disagreeing with her. If 'bullying' means standing up for what I believe in - trying to honor fellow DJs that have passed, insisting KDHX being represented at The Kranzberg's Music at the Intersection, seeing the station as honoring our city's music heritage and scene - then so be it - call me a 'bully'. I am at times blunt, but Know This: I have always considered myself a Feminist. Ask any of the women who ever worked at my store if my behavior was ever bullying or confrontational. Ask public feminists who are my friends, such as Joan Lipkin, Kris Kleindiest, or Annette Bridges---strong smart independent women who have known me for decades. Kelly Wells misrepresented a Zoom meeting to me with her and Joan Bray as a conversation, using it as the opportunity to inform me within 90 seconds of the Zoom YOU HAVE DONE YOUR LAST SHOW AT KDHX. Call that a Mugging By Management. The long time director of a music venue in STL contacted me to say, "I KNOW KELLY WELLS...FOR A LONG TIME I'VE KNOWN SHE IS A SNAKE". This public defamation of my 30+ years of love, loyalty and dedication to KDHX, along with her actions of the past 6 years (at least) is proof positive of her self-serving, authoritarian nature. Shame on you Kelly Wells---the community of KDHX has confirmed what I have just said. The outcry of hundreds of listeners, businesses, fellow DJs, artists, and musicians in the last few days, with so many of them telling me that they have stopped all financial support for KDHX is validation, that they all are in agreement. HOW MANY PEOPLE are defending Kelly Wells?? Her reputation is not an enviable one. Long Live the music, long live the music lovers. All I ever wished to be was a town crier for St. Louis Music". So let the 4 winds blow, and it is gratifying to see listeners and friends not buying her rhetorical slander and BS...

TOM RAY'S POST ABOUT HIS DISMISSAL- HOW THE MOVEMENT BEGAN

 https://www.facebook.com/tom.papa.ray.9/posts/pfbid0TMC3djhyur6Syd1Rw51cZnXyE6JKpdYJgcQDrciUquY3WARB8SL8PjT9VZ7umWj3l

WELL NOW---as of today at 2PM, I have been told I will no longer do my radio show on KDHX, due to my disagreements and criticism of station manager Kelly Wells.  35 years is a long run, but Miz Kelly began a Zoom meeting today I thought would be a candid discussion with the Board of directors head, JOAN BRAY, but the meeting began with Wells announcing my services were no longer needed. Oh well---it's been a number of years since KDHX had negative publicity due to actions by her, so here it comes again.
