Charlie Morgan out at Cumulus Indy
- Thread starter WalkDW
- Start date
Hope it's not true! But it does make sense Charlie is a TRUE PRO at radio and knows how to do awsome radio...look at his stations and their ratings over the years. He probably questioned mangement, and with CUMEless, you have to remember the suits in Atlanta are right and you are wrong!

And just wait until they announce who Charlies replacement will be 
This sorted occurrence is becoming as repetitive as the “hot” category at CHR stations... ANOTHER consummate [and aging] PRO heads out the door – due to “differences” with the mad scientists of corporate radio : But I doubt the likes of Mr. Morgan will end up selling whole-life policies for the Gecko, or [God forbid] “wheels at the Super-Lot”!
But I doubt the likes of Mr. Morgan will end up selling whole-life policies for the Gecko, or [God forbid] “wheels at the Super-Lot”!Yes, Charlie, welcome to the world of Orwellian Radio, where good is bad, right is wrong, and everything you know to be true is held against you by mindless punks in empty suits who are in it only for money and ego gratification.
Here's hoping you find an independent owner who still remembers how radio works.

Keep hoping. So far the only independent owner Indy has seen is not only exactly like a corporate operation, but even worse! Anyone with enough cash to drop into an Indy station either uses the corporate template, or puts ego before the product. Face it, radio in Indy may never recover, given the people controlling it, whether it be corporate or independent. Money and ego - oh, is there music involved?
Like JackFM and the Next Generation Of Talk?pnut rox said:
Yeah.
Sure.
Like totally awesome, dude.
Radio is about what you've done lately. Charlie's lately isn't as good as Charlie's past. Someone had to take a fall.radioho said:
It is a sad day when anyone has their personal world turned upside down being fired from their job. :'(
That said, it was due time for this gentleman to experience what he had put so many others through, even well before Cumulus purchased this property. I do not wish ill of him, only that he can learn what impact he's had on others by going through this himself.

That's ridiculous! You're saying that because a man has to fire someone (who maybe did or didn't deserve it) he should experience what it's like to be fired? Obviously you've not been in management, and experienced exactly how difficult it is for a manager to make tough decisions based on performance or budgeting. Like every manager should walk out before firing someone due to budget cuts, etc?
Don't slam others who have put in a lifetime of quality work because you are dependent on someone else for a job that you may or may not have performed well.
geez people!

mouseman is absolutely right about Morgan.
Mouseman -- who, to his credit, posts his real name in his profile -- has personal friction with Charlie from having worked together.
I'm not going so far as to call "sour grapes" on him, but I do believe his own feelings are negatively coloring his opinion out of his want for retribution.
It's too bad, too; for every 100 people who have worked for Morgan, 99 hold him in the highest regard.

Some of the posters on this thread don't know Charlie Morgan. I do. I worked for him for years. As far as I know, he never fired someone who didn't deserve it, and never relished the task. The layoffs that occurred with the Susquehanna sale were the hardest terminations Charlie ever delivered. It crushed him. If he "deserves" anything in his own firing, it's the same care and compassion more than a dozen people got from Charlie when they lost their jobs on Shadeland a year ago April. Charlie is a class guy, personally and professionally. Best manager I ever had, bar none. Wherever he chooses to lend his talents in the future, that organization is massively improved.

Charlie's already being recruited by another Indy cluster. Might not be long before he's heading up another group.

Charlie MOST (I am not for sure) likely didn't have a choice in flipping formats he had winners on those frequencies. Go into another town where CUMEless has stations and you are more that likely going to find out they have those formats.
Charlie will land on his feet and will lead those stations to the top!
I've never had the pleasure of meeting Mr Morgan, but in a world where bad stuff spreads like wildfire and good stuff isn't often repeated, I've heard nothing but good things about him. While I'm still mad at him for nuking 104.5 The Bear 10 years ago, maybe he'll have a chance to redeem himself by bringing New Hit Country to a full power signal at another cluster. That would be a fair payback for CUMEless' lapse of judgement in letting Charlie go...
