A Citadel Syracuse Manager leaving?

R

RomeToupee

Is someone from the palace on James Street looking to move?
Is someone a finalist for a job in a northeastern city?
Are they willing to accept a lower title to get out of Dodge?
Is it the Regional President? Director Of Sales? Program Director? Market Manager?
Names and potential positions will be revealed shortly on this board.
 
Is there anybody from Citadel Syracuse that ISN'T looking to get out? Well, maybe those responsible for 'NTQ are safe, but otherwise, why would they want to stay there?
 
Dan Austin did NOT get the job

The "hometown boy here for life to be with his family" has been interviewing like crazy for the DOS job with Beasley in Philly,a mere six months after returning "home".The word is that the interview did not go well and then there are those pesky 15-25% revenue drops each month that are tough to explain.
 
Re: A Citadel Syracuse Manager leaving? Yeah right.

Half the bull---- that gets posted on this board comes from competitors looking to stir the pot and create drama (Helllooooooo Eddie!). 95X Deathwatch? Flip The format, who likes format flips. I love em'? Are you F'n kidding me? DA ain't stupid and he ain't gonna committ career suicide by taking a step down.

The tide is turning, as a matter of fact, look at the Summer Arbitron numbers. Oh wait, sorry Galaxy, you can't. Too cheap to pay for em'. Here I'll share a few details for you. TK and KROCK are no longer the top of the heap for rock stations.

95X #4 with an 18% Adults 25-54 (the demo that matters), #1 with 26.3% in Men 25-54

Adults 21+ #6 @ 12.5% RIGHT behind TK's 13% and way ahead of KROCK's #9 share of 10.5% (how much longer will that last, who's got the momentum here?)

Men 21+ #2 with 18% of the market.

Citadel corporately is investing in the Syracuse market. Cash for contests, mailers and talent. You got it. Go make it happen.

The numbers don't lie...although half the jackasses on this board do!

I'd say it's happening. But, of course we'll see what happens when the winter book comes out and the results of that $$$ invested in the cuse market hits those diaries.

;D
 
Blowing Smoke?

If things are so wonderful in Syracuse, and Citadel is increasing spending in the market, why are rumors circulating about cuts at Citadel Buffalo, which has been a big money-maker for Citadel? Both are overseen by Kevin LeGrett.

The numbers do lie, and so do most of the people on this board with an agenda. We'll see when the books comes out.

I just noticed something on the WAQX website. Isn't that J.P. from 97 Rock in the jock menu? Is he voice-tracking on 95X?

I don't think that he's driving back and forth to do 7-Midnight in Syracuse after his mid-day shift on 97-Rock.

I also noticed that Stone has taken Alexis' place at the top of the jock list. So much for listing people by airshift, alphabetical order, or ladies first...
 
There are many barometers that a company,uses to measure it's perofrmance. For a radio company, obviously Arbirton is the biggest yard stick, but it does not measure financial performance. Is it a CLEAR predictor of future financial performance? Hell yeah.

However, they are mutually exclusive performance indicators. Given the current economic environment I would think that stations with A tier ratings are looking at making cuts, somewhere in their budget. Citadel's "rumored" cuts. Again, I have to use the word Jackass. You know what a rumor is, right? And, again, given these times, isn't it better to toss out a couple of extra bags, before the entire plain is brought down?

You CANNOT argue that fact that more people aren't listening to X and less people are turning to TK and KROCK.

I like the cut of your gib. Do you have a newsletter I could subscribe to?

The more successful the station is, the greater the incentive for brutal manpower cuts? So the stations on top of the heap should be swingin' the axe like Jason Voorhees in the final ten minutes of a Friday the 13th film?

Genius. Pure, unadulterated genius. I hope you station owners are paying attention to this, because it's the kind of outside-of-the-box thinking you need to embrace in today's radio climate.

Your hatred is blinding you to THE VISION. While you're paying attention to trivialities like airstaff and voicetracking you can't see just what THE VISION is accomplishing.

I can.

And it's glorious.

Ah, but that's where you're wrong, Big.

We have seen the future.

Listen, and understand. That robojock is out there. It doesn't need to bargained with. It doesn't make unreasonable demands. It doesn't need vacations, or days off, or bathrooms, or a parking space. And it absolutely will not stop voicetracking, ever, until the station goes dead.

I, for one, welcome our new voice-synthesized robotic overlords.

Especially if she's a fully 3-D synthesized hot Goth chick robot overlord?
 
Sorry Biggus, no newsletter. I speak the truth, no rumors, no speculation. I've heard so much BS come from Galaxy about the supposed innerworkings of Citadel it makes me wonder how anyone can seriously believe anything that comes out of their mouths. You know?

I wonder why anyone would risk ruining their credibility in that way???
 
Look at the bright side. The sales manager won"t be leaving as long as she has that "special" relationship with the Regional President.
Do you think he has seen "Fatal Attraction"?
 
Right. And according to Ed Levine she's also a "plant" placed there by him for Galaxy. Right. What a [EDIT] comment to make. Tells me a lot about the caliber of your character.
