[grc] Programmers promoting personal Patreon page on their LPFM show

[Danny]

We have new programmers that aired this the other day on our LPFM:

 

"If you would like to support our creative endeavors and the expansion of
our offerings, consider subscribing to our Patreon at
Patreon.com/[redacted]. You can subscribe for as little as $1/month and we
have cool rewards available."

 

It seems to me this is problematic on multiple levels like FCC rules,
non-profit status and just setting a horrible precedent for programmers to
all start directly monetizing their shows.  And FWIW, they flipped out when
we asked them to stop doing this, which strongly suggests this is central to
their show and to me smacks of airing an infomercial at best.

 

Thoughts???
