MD Opening In Memphis

I might know a thing or two about the gig? What do you want to know? CFKane

no behind the scenes info here.....but just his bit of advice......don't just walk....run away from it!

 

[MemBirdman]

I completely missed this one....what happened to Larry?

I keep meaning to thank Jerry Dean for not giving me a job back in '03. It meant I was available for the job I have now.

 

[radiosaur]

Give it up CF...you don't sound too upset. Moving up?

 

[Antoine Domino]

Now I'm more confused then I was when I asked the ? ???

 

[CFKane]

;D Moving out, actually! Taking a job in TV production, in Louisiana. Too good to pass up. Contrary to what you would likely read here, it's a nice radio gig. Jerry is not the "Devil" as some think, he's one of the easiest people to work for in my opinion. I have no reason to sugar coat that, so take it at face value.

Somebody will end up with a nice gig here. I'm on air during my two week notice, (which I turned in yesterday.) and am helping out with the transition, as much as possible.

It's funny though, I have been in this building 9 & 1/2 years, and I am the first F/T jock I can remember, that actually quit... That I remember, anyway.

Radiosaur, FYI Mike Schwartz is looking for an "Assistant Chief" too. Interested? Entercom is an equal opportunity employer, void where prohibited, see website for details. Mike Schwartz loves legal mumbo jumbo, and asked me to post this for him...

Congratulations, but I'll be danged if you're going to slip out of here without buying me that Diet Coke. When is your last day?

As for the opening...I've already been the A/CE at WRVR...from 1984-1986. I even still have the T-shirt. Plus, he couldn't afford me

And it was a nice place to work then...and with a majority of the air staff staying on for 5, 10, 20+ years, I can say I'm not alone in that opinion.

 

[CFKane]

Last day, as of now, is the 30th. We'll do that Diet coke! CFKane

 

[georgiapeach]

Hmmmm.....could my prediction of a certain other afternoon jock showing up on WRVR come true??????

 

[Meepster]

Go get 'em Larry.
I was just going to wait for the rumors and thwart them one at a time.
Oh well!
Enjoy your new gig! ;D

 

[CFKane]

Appreciate it, brother! I will be in the area regularly, so "Don't make me come up there!" You got my contact info? CFKane

 

[Meepster]

Actually, just station e-mail.
Shoot me one with your info.
How long til you're out?
Didn't we have a beer thing going?
Our mutual contact won't help anymore.
Get in touch before you go.

What certain other afternoon jock, Peach?

 

[Kent]

Just wanted to say good luck to you, Larry. Memphis's loss is Louisiana's gain!

 

[CFKane]

Appreciate that Kent! ;D CFKane

 

[megastar]

peach is hinting at tom p from fm100 on wrvr afternoons...I am pretty sure

 

[radiosaur]

Hmmmm.....could my prediction of a certain other afternoon jock showing up on WRVR come true??????

Hmmmmm....RVR and FM 100 are no longer competitors, so FM 100 makes the decsion to go after Q 107 and quit sitting on the CHR / Hot AC fence...so Tom is now a much better fit for WRVR....just as afternoons opens up on WRVR.

That makes WAY too much sense so I'm sure it's more complicated than that.

 

[MisterHonesty]

Where in LA you going, CFK? If it's NOLA, give me a holla.

Trapper

 

[CFKane]

It'll be in the Shreveport area actually, but may have to "holla" anyway! CFKane
