Dave McKay, long-time production director and current afternoon drive personality (ratings have nothing but went up since he got that slot!) will exit KMGL Friday, according to my sources. In my opinion, this will be a fairly substantial blow to KMGL. Things continue to errode at the Renda operation it seems. Any word on his replacement?

Jennifer would be about the best replacement option they have as she has been in and around KMGL and KBEZ in Tulsa for many years. The best thing for Renda would be that she's already in-house.

Why is everyone bailing so bad at this company? Jennifer Lee used to work in Tulsa. She's going to be doing afternoon drive now? Not sure how that will sound. Is the PD good to work for? Why is McKay leaving? Is he going to another station?

Probably driven insane by having to play those same songs over and over every Saturday night on their pitiful retro show! ;) Hell, the morning show's got more variety on Friday mornings..."Walk The Dinousaur" anyone?

That makes two "big guns" on the loose...what's Barreda's future hold? Let's not forget that he used to be at KJ. Could Tyler actually be planning on putting live talent on Jack from 6a-12p, and putting big names in those slots? That's one way to get a bit o' attention...and admittedly, how they initially staffed KKNG as well.

Rumor has it that Barreda might wind up in Tulsa.

What do you mean? Jennifer Leigh worked at KMGL before KBEZ. Both are Renda, I'm not sure what you mean by "not sure how that will sound".

And ironically, they seem to have sent the intern into the music broom closet-- they had about fifteen "new" gold songs on their 80s weekend this weekend. But it seems to have been the same old tired rotation during the Saturday night show. Don't know if it was Jennifer hosting or not...I got the info off the monitoring websites, not by listening...

But they're just following the lead of their down-the-hall compadres, KOMA, who've been bustin' out some long-unheard tunes already...

Everybody is bailing out because all four of thoese stations stink, even I don't listen to thoese stations, which I did work there about a year ago, and working there sucked,I was the board-op on 1520 KOKC, i quit working there in March 2005,at least I don't have to worry about the dress code no more, that was a stupid idea, having everybody at Renda follow the damn dress code, Hahaha! Maybe thats why everbody is leaving, because of the dress code! LOL!

If I was a board op at KOKC I would quit to. If I am not mistaken Citadel has a dress code to. Plus Dave Mckay was tired of doing the low paid radio gig where he could get paid more for working at the Daily Crap Newspaper that is not even worthy of whiping my butt with.
 
Re: Magic

Its better that they have Jennifer there than someone tracked from another market. She knows her stuff, so give it time.
