I still give credit to the independent stations out there like 92.1 WLNG in Sag Harbor, NY, and 1240 WOON in Woonsocket. These stations have remained true to their listeners, communities, and their employees through tough times.

Although not quite in the same league with 1240 WOON, I would also add an honorary mention to Fall River's 1480 WSAR.

The Karams may be far from perfect......but they've managed to keep WSAR 'live and local' from morning drive through afternoon drive......something quite a few larger market stations around the country no longer do (are ya listening 920?). ;)

Yeah I've criticized that hole in the wall plenty in the past. But I would have to agree they at least they've somehow managed to stay local for the most part. I think it's because they pay their employees sh*t. There are no Dan Yorke or Buddy Cianci salaries over there. So it's not nearly as difficult to meet payroll.
 
Even Happy Hec who has been there forever can't be making much. I bet you that he's never even seen a check over $80,000 a year from that place.
 
All I can say is that we all knew it was coming, but it was still fun to ride it all the way to the end. I enjoyed my return to B101 and the great weekend staff that I had the pleasure of working with...Dave Newfell, Scott Brennan, Scott Gibbons, and of course, Tom St. John. All class acts. Thanks to all who listened :)

Nice knowing you Mark in the past.Best of luck to you and Scott whpo I also worked with on 99.3.
 
Thanks, Ken. Life goes on, and unfortunately for a lot of people, it no longer involves radio. Live long and prosper (in another industry).
