Don't blame corruption for what was most likely extremely strained budgets. Local public access TV stations like KETC (Nine PBS) tend to be severely understaffed and underpaid.
Realistically, they went with OSS because the quote for a local MSP was cheaper than the cost of hiring additional headcount (a $70k salary ends up costing roughly $100k for an employer).
(Source: occasionally dealt with these kinds of accounts back when I was an SE and later PM)
Edit: I'm right - they only have 1 IT/Software employee managing the entire organization which only has a budget of $30M after losing $1.8M in federal funding.
Oof, that is a horrible position to be in with so many dicks on HN. You'd assume SWEs would have sympathy for other SWEs.
Some HNers should have been taught better manners by their parents or should have at least internalized the lessons from Arthur as a kid [0].
If that employee sees this post - I want to say THANK YOU. It's a hard job.
