CBS unloading talent

C

cacrobert

This huge unloading of talent by CBS radio kinda reminds me of when I was working for KMXP 96.9FM doing over nights when Clear Channel wanted to go completely automated with their Prophet system 1.0. Clear Channel/Jacor fired all the air staff including the morning show, afternoon drive show, and weekenders, part timers and some sales staff. What happened the ratings sunk, and they started hiring new talent, and did not bother to contact us part timers and overnighters. This is what is going to happen to CBS.

I also remember my time as an intern at KVRY when Nationwide Communications changed formats back to KZZP, they even let me go then too with the afternoon drive host, morning show and air staff.
 
What year was this when Clear Channel went automated and let go of their air staffs?

Was it Mix then or was it the Eagle? Who was left?

I worked at Mix 96.9FM from Nov 1997 to Feb 1998

Mix signed on over Labor Day Weekend, September 1998. It was Eagle 96.9 before that. This year is their 10th anniversary.
 
re:IreneCaraFan

It was sooo long ago, I was at 96.9 when Bruce Kelly was at KZZP still right before he was fired for that incident at Disneyland, something with walking through the lobby of the Disneyland Hotel with his pants off and he was drunk and this was a joint thing with channel 10....I think it was 98 but I dont remember its been what 10 years, may be it was in 99. This was about the time when Dave Cooper was APD and Jacor just got bought out by AM/FM-Clear Channel, I just remember comming into work and being told that the station was going automated after my shift.
