Black Friday in Burbank

- Start date
Looks like 3 weekday air shifts: Mark 6am-noon, Bryan 12n-6pm, Love Songs 6pm-12m.
nearly 20 positions slashed
Well this should not have been unexpected given CC's history. Too bad but realistically, with more and more voicetracking and stations with ZERO DJs (Jack and Jill) do you think many listeners will care or EVEN notice??? Personality radio is long gone from music stations except for a few exceptions.
you sure about mike.........was JUST on KOST site and Mike is still on it

Maybe they fired their webmaster too.radiomayor2 said:

Yes, they did. They cut Mike Sakellarides after his shift from what I hear. Marketing & Promotions director Julie Kertes and Marketing & Promotions co-ordinator Claudia Vine who handled the web as well. Mike Nolan was let go too after 21 years.
At HOT 92.3 middayer Sean Andre was cut.
At AirWatch, the news and traffic service owned by Clear Channel, let go of Mike Baez (Taylor), Barbara Brooks, Jim Curran, Walt Darocha (Jackson), Alan LaGreen, and Sharon Reardon.
It's a bloodbath...
a lot of this is PPM based......trhe big increase in cost has to be factored into the zero base stuff.......
sad.. very sad.....
sad.. very sad.....
I find it hard to believe that they have wiped out their highest rated FM besides KIIS, PPM or no. Then from AirWatch, Mike Nolan was used by KFI news so extensively for their fire coverage. If KNX/KFWB are smart they've already made an offer.
Wonder who else in the Pinnacle Building is going to have the Grinch steal Christmas , or Channuka as the case may be? I've been sort of on the fence about massive group ownership but this is the last straw for me, I say write your congresspersons and senators to excise this cancer that will destroy broadcasting.

Just heard that Sean Andre is leaving soon also. Was immenent after he was taken off the night show and replaced by Fart Laboe...i mean Art Laboe. Nice man...but really, are there going to pass out the PPM's in the jails?

Just read on another board that KOST will now have only three airshifts. Unbelievable! So what, Mark Wallengren from 6-noon, Bryan Simmons from noon-6 and Karen Sharp from 6-midnight? Good people, but that's asking a lot. This is market number two for God's sake. Yeah, happy 25th anniversary, right...

Maybe they will VT some of the time ??? How does that count re. AFTRA?
Also, I am REALLY going to miss hearing these words .... "Mike Nolan, KFI in the sky!"
