There are going to be some shocked and dissapointed KXYL listeners (Buddies of James and Phil) when they report on the host/administrator of the website www.cityofbrownwood.com which has many critical statements of Newstalk969, many of which I agree with ! After listening to James W and Phil W try and stir it up at the "Great Mystery" of the www.cityofbrownwood.com website, Shayne, Jimmy, Gloria, (Fly Boy) Harold, Jeff, Danny, Roy and other supporters of James W and Phil W will be shocked that it's not being hosted by me (Steve Harris). Note: I don't have to post anywhere else to get my points across ! KXYL Caller Steve Mc___ says he's concerned about what prospective residents of Brownwood might think when they see the www.cityofbrownwood.com site ( I wonder what Steve Mc____ thinks of hate radio (name calling & demonizing,etc on a daily basis.) and what prospective visitors / residents think ? ) Feels like home ? I've never heard Steve Mc____ speak of the venom soaking the airwaves of our community. For more info. on www.cityofbrownwood.com on our site go to our archive Nov. 27, 2004 "Identity Thief at work in your neighberhoods". The person or persons who fraduantely used my name, and now a prominent local Doctor , will be traced and prosecuted. The same computer that was used to post my name fraduantely was used to post newstalk969's advertising message. Was this someone at KXYL trying to stir it up ? I would put nothing past Watts Communication including evening phone calls to relatives of Hate Radio critics (caller ID folks ?). I've heard the deception coming from KXYL talking heads/employees/callers in something as simple as Farenheit 911 ticket purchases (at Early/Brownwood Theatre). Encouraging listeners to buy a ticket to another show and slip in to see F911. Talk about "closeted and deceitful" ! I'm amused of those who are pointing fingers at the www.cityofbrownwood.com website yet have remained quiet admist all the hate ( see our archives 9/01/2004 ) that has been spewed from KXYL for the last two years ( I guess they must approve of the name calling and bullying being broadcast on the airwaves of Brownwood and Central Texas ! Their silence speaks volumes ! ) My only problem with the www.cityofbrownwood.com website is allowing people to post messages fraduantly using someone elses identity.( But then again I know for a fact that Watts employees have called in to their own shows using bogus names in order to spike the show and besides any "reputable talk radio station" knows to employ delay buttons when callers use "on air" profanity and slurs ! The Black Bashing continues on James W's show and from his "Best Students" ! Can we all say Clem ? Even JR W finally spoke up against the direction on JW's direction of the conversation and lack of accountability.) From listening to KXYL recently, I understand that Brownwood City Councilman, Brownwood Police Chaplin and KXYL Employee Dave Fair will be leading the investigation..........Oh yeah, he's the one who calls listeners idiots on the air ! And he calls www.cityofbrownwood.com "Trashy" !
FYI- Brownwoods KXYL & Talking Heads upset at being critiicized on www.cityofbrownwood.org website ! This all sounds like a marketing ploy coming from KXYL.
My point: Local Talking Heads getting paid to daily tear people down but call it “trash” (Connie) when they themselves are treated the same way by folks who are not getting paid. I have a name for that !
James Williamson questioning callers sexual orientation on air and yelling over call in guests to his show who have an opposing viewpoint and lying about callers positions on issues ! How very " Christian " !
" All of this reminds me of Luigi Pirandello's writing, "Right you are if you think you are," which shows that a community pays when it is driven by gossips to find out "the truth" about people's private lives."

Brownwood Hate Radio / Pirandello / Gossips / Economic Development
“ No wonder we can’t get enough people to fly to Brownwood to keep air service, even with millions in dollars of Goverment Subsidies ! ”

I guess word is getting out about Brownwood and it’s “venom of the airwaves” broadcasters !

Venom over the airwaves
A dose of the venomous talk radio so prevalent in the major cities across the U.S. apparently hit the Central Texas airwaves Wednesday morning during a discussion on a local station. During a session on news and talk station 96.9 FM between hosts Bob...

Steve - I have been told that it is our police dept. that tells citizens
our crime rate statistics are high due to how they fill out their reports.
They say most communities do not report stolen plants, etc. If that is
true, why aren't they more uniform with other communities of our size and
economic base? I was once told - that is just how Brownwood like to do
their reports. If that is so, then why would our police chief and the
police force want to have Brownwood appear to have such a high crime rate?
I continue to be baffled.

Speaking of "Hate Radio" - I was in Austin about six weeks ago meeting
with a business man. He asked is it true that Brownwood has a hate radio
station and what is going on in Brownwood?

I heard from our local "Hate Radio" talking heads that our high crime
rate is because we report all the bicycle thefts and thefts of potted
plants and water-hoses ! What a crock ! I suggest the DPS crime
report for a detailed report of the situation in our community as we
compare ourselves to others. I also find the SBA numbers very telling
about our community as we compare ourselves to others !
