AN 106.7 PD Adams Out

Sports Radio 106.7?

That's probably the quickest I've ever seen a PD leave. But it boils down to infomercials and all news on the radio don't mix. Surely AN 106.7 isn't so cash starved this early in the game that they have to rely on infomercials during the weekend. The infomericals make for bad radio.
A lot of news/talk stations accept infomercials now. While not liking that policy I just sensed there was a lot of disagreement over the direction of where this thing is going. Did something change or did strong wills collide. While tweeking a new station comes with the territory I wonder what made it so bad that Marshall reportedly just walked out. Anyone thinking of applying for that job needs to know what the future and course of that station will be. What could have been done differently to avoid a casuality like this.
RE Informercials
See my post on a related thread; this may have been a long-standing commitment, not something the PD was responsibile for.

What would really be interesting to see would be a monthly cash statement for 106.7. The month before Cumulus took over, two months after Randy and Spiff were axed, the month before all news, and last months. I really thought they would give it 6 months if not a year before inserting infomercials during "low listener" periods. With the demise of WGST as we know it where would these shows go? Let the infomercials be out of the market for a year then really financially "stick it to them".
Most if not all of the successful All News operations have decades of "branding". The two new ones WYAY and KROI (Houston) are in sunbelt markets which are thought of as conservative talk strongholds. Maybe it has something to do with the "liberal biased media" that Hannity and Rush rant about almost daily.
