Broomhead out?

L

Legend City

He isn't listed on KFYI's website....

But the info is still there if you google it.

If you click podcasts, he isn't there, if you google him for podcasts, you get a 404 error on Iheart's page

Wow. Maybe he'll go to work for Mercury (Glen Beck)?

If we have to have Rob Hunter, I won't be tuning in.
I find Rob Hunter VERY annoying.

Maybe they can get Babinski back from KEZ? .......Being paid to laugh at everything Beth McDonald says will get old.
Maybe it'll be the Mac and Broomhead show somewhere?

KFYI's ratings will continue to dim as demographics take them over, they are running out of old white guys to sell to.
 
Could Salem knock one of its syndicated talkers off the air here and make Broomhead the morning guy on 960? Doubtful, but they've done things in other markets that have been surprising.

Not all has been lost for Broomhead's fans though. He still has his weekly show on AZTV-7.

I wonder if there is more to it than reported.
Seems odd that after 10 years, he wouldn't tell his listeners goodbye?

Maybe he got the "Mac treatment"? ......Your last show was yesterday.

Here's what they say about that: Please know we were thoughtful in this process and have provided enhanced severance benefits as well as outplacement assistance for any impacted employees, and we want to thank them for the valuable contributions they have made.
 
I know two of them in Phoenix and am hearing they fired 6 people yesterday from that cluster.

Given the technology available, it looks like the future of radio is contract labor.

Yup..and just wait until Liberty Media gets a bigger piece of I Heart. There'll be a lot more sign twirlers on street corners.
