CAN'T SLEEP ??? CALL BUD

Does anyone know if they have actually ever hired anyone from these craigslist postings? Or is this just one of those things to satisfy EEOC requirements?

And what's with this WYCQ reference? Didn't they give up those call letters a lifetime ago? ??? Why don't they just refer to themselves by their parent company's name, the Cromwell Group? We will all know to whom this refers to!
 
WYCQ, Inc is their corporate name. Probably just to much effort to change. Or Bud juts really misses the Power Country days.
Whodduh thought 102.9 would beat 103.3 and with a worse signal. Whodduh thought Cit.. oh never mind.
 
Job Duties include:

• 25 hours per week on-air shift
commercial dubbing
• meter readings
• execution of format & EAS
• monitoring sister stations

So Nashville radio still distribute audio via tape, who knew? ;D

As far as the corporate name is concerned it's one of those tax thing. The Cromwell Group is a bunch of little companies with a dba/The Cromwell Group on the sign and letterhead. His Kentucky stations operate as Hancock Communications dba/The Cromwell Group. Hancock is the county name of where his first station was located. The Cromwell Group was inspired by the location of one of Bud's office locations in the seventies. It was on Cromwell (street, drive, road) and Bud started calling the group of stations The Cromwell Group. The more you know.
 
Bud is in better shape these days. He sold his Peoria cluster to Regent Communications. It was a cash/stock deal. If Bud was smart he would have sold the stock because Regent stock has been less than a dollar recently.

I worked for Bud when he tried to keep up with Lowry Mays and purchased way too many radio stations. Mays had a war chest of money, Bud did not and was up to his eyeballs in debt. The payroll checks cleared but barely by hours. Vendors were on their own, but if a vendor owed Bud money past 30 days, a nastigram was sent stating late payment will not be tolerated and legal action would be considered. It was amusing when a vendor pointed out that Bud owed more money to them than they owed him.
