CE opening at Salem Houston

T

TexasTuner

The Salem group in Houston (KKHT and KNTH) is without a CE, as of yesterday. Anyone looking for an engineering gig in the Bayou city should contact the Salem GM at 713-260-3600.

And as always, no one leaves a good job.

What happened to the former chief????
 
Sort of off track, but how accepting is Salem of people with different religious beliefs, sexual orientations, etc. working at their company?
I ask because late last year there was an engineering-related opening at the local Salem stations (AM 57 and AM 97) in New York City. ???

Dumb question, but I wonder if anyone here who's worked for Salem might (anonymously) offer an answer.

Excellent question, and one I was thinking, too.
 
In the days of five and five and five, when Epperson ran it, the interest was pretty much on keeping the costs down, to the outside observer. Every indication is that hasn't changed a lot with growth.
Employment discrimination based on religion is illegal, I doubt tyhere'd be much of a problem if a prospect wasn'twearing a pentagram to the interview or somesuch.

I've gotten the feeling that there are more rules for employee behavior than you would find at more typical radio stations. For instance, they might frown on my taking Stephanie to lunch. (Though I would like that a lot.) But it might appear to lack propriety.

Maybe I have it all wrong about Salem. I've never worked for them for 5 minutes. But that's the impression that I have gotten of them.

I've been led to believe that the local GMs have a lot of local control (they set salaries, etc) and they would be the ones to make such a decision. However, as with all things, YMMV.

I don't think Mrs. Greg Hahn would appreciate that either. ;D

Ha! She would definitely question the propriety of that.
 
Having been a Salem C.E for many years before we "parted ways", I can say:

A) The company does not care about anyones religious background, you just have to act civil.

B) Remember you are on call 24/7; which means they "own you". You are the GM's slave.

C) As Christians they believe in Miracles, so be prepared to work some !

D) No matter what they may say...they're all about the Money.

E) Their Engineering is operated somewhere between The Right Way and The Cheapest Way.

F) Of course, as with all groups, be prepared to take care of several stations without help.
