>>Do you really want the GM of the station out at the transmitter site or do

>>you want his or her confidence?

 
Why are the two choices exclusive?

>>I have taken GM's and corporate people out to transmitter and translator

>>sites. Here at Iowa Public Television I have even hosted a board meeting at

>>a transmitter site. The purpose has never been to have them understand what

>>I do for a living. It is to give them a point of reference so that when I

>>talk about transmitters, towers, antennas and transmission line they have a

>>point of reference for the size of the components.


I never said take them there to teach them physics. Give them a point of reference, like you said. That's the minimum. I would also hope that they would comprehend the basics of facility.

And this is a positive example of what can happen.
