Changes At Cox Houston

[stillworkin]

Tubby is out at Country Legends

Michael Vee gone from middays on KHits, Kevin Charles was on in his place yesterday.

Dave E. Crockett gone from 7-12 on KHits, John Prince (afternoons on the Point) was on last night.

I hear some sales guys were let go as well on Tuesday.

I heard they let 9 people go altogether in a "minor" restructuring.

Sorry to hear about Dave E., but hoping that means a reprise of dmxradio.com.

Perhaps a restructuring of formats might be in order if things are going that badly. Start with 106.9.

Which reminds me: The new PPM ratings come out this afternoon, if I'm not mistaken.

I guess very stale music tests and "50 minutes of music" liner cards have had the usual effect.

Does anyone have a list of who else was let go? Rumor has it that they fired sales people and gave their lists to the LSMs.

I've got to ask:

Why fire salespeople and keep the managers that hired them, trained them and monitored their effort?
Why fire talent the day before the first official PPM results?
Is July 17th an important budgeting day for Cox?

Whoops, didn't catch my typo until the edit window was over. Make that dsx, not dmx.

Still, I'm glad they're keeping Dave E. on the weekends. He's a class act all the way.

DMX radio, you might be on to something there. Unfortunately with the high royalty rates that internet radio is being charged I don't think any of those stations will survive or be revived.
