Black Friday at Cox
- Thread starter triple threat
- Start date
Perhaps a result of The Fox moving studios up to the Milford complex?

Wouldn't this be "red" friday, as red indicates a negative versus black indicating a positive?
Also starting Monday Peter Bush will move from mornings to afternoon drive on The Fox and Chaz and AJ will be simulcast on The Fox.
I have had the Pleasure of working with Bushman, Zako, John Perry, the entire coast crew before the switch. I am saddened by this as I have Just Graduated college. Nothing but Rejection letters or no response everywhere I apply The Job I had in VT was given a "hey were hiring an old DJ back" and I find myself without a Job and severe Debt by Moving my life up to Vermont for 2 months. I continue to Keep my show alive on XCI and am staying in CT for now just for that. at least I know Okemo has hired me back full time this year so now the question remains how long do I keep my radio show alive that I avery passionate about and as many of you know have gotten a nice following of listers keeping it going when its over its over... so I keep it going.
Matt Zako & Mike Prodoti
They've been @The Fox & PLR, respectively, for a decade.
Let's look @who was @PLR within the past five years or so:
Smith & Barber
Pam Landry
Prodoti
Jack Allen
Chris Cody
Glenn w/2 N's
Instead of Cox stepping up & spending some $ on talent, they hire some kid name Phil Antonelli.
Not really a show biz name.
Can't he change it?
Sounds like he's part-owner of the Lapatino/Antonelli Law Firm.
His claim to fame is: "I got into Radio because I pretty much failed at everything else, mostly because I was talking too much".
That's all we need @PLR - more talk.
Less talk, more rock!
More rock, less talk!
Shut up & rock!

If there's any market in America where you could keep your Italian surname and have a radio career, it's got to be New Haven.
Smith & Barber were gone well over 5 years ago. It's probably closer to 10 years now.
