Clear Channel

It's really good to see that Clear Channel does have the Christmas spirit - they take good care of their employees. http://www.allaccess.com/net-news/archive/story/113290/another-round-of-layoffs-at-clear-channel

The video is AWESOME, love it. I lived in fear for many years. So sad.

Awesome? It's nothing more than a rant. No creativity whatsoever. Not that I'm any fan of Clear Channel. Don't waste your time!

With the KGO & WLS-FM sagas, and the latest round of layoffs, I have no respect for Clear Channel OR Cumulus Media. Why own so many radio stations (CC) when you can't pay your longtime employees to stay at their respective stations? They own 850 radio stations, and yet can't hold on to top positions in their top markets (Miami, Cincinnati, and Detroit).

Thank god the Tribune has held on to WGN, or else both of the Chicago talk stations would be owned by national corporations (CC owns WVON 1690, while Salem Communications owns WIND). We don't need Andy Dean, Clyde Lewis, or Todd Schnitt coming into our largely-local market. They can save that crap for WCKG and AM 820.

What's been done to WLS-FM is a sin. Legendary station and they bring in great DJs, a fabulous idea to match up those names with those great call letters and jingles and then the PD doesn't allow these talents to be displayed. Then the final knife in the back to listeners, the music is completely gutted. Just what we need another imitation of "The Drive".

Add Jan Jeffries to your list.

Is "we" the 25-43 target demo?

And in case you've forgotten:

"DISCO SUCKS! CHICAGO ROCKS! COHO! COHO! COHO!"

The Loop was beating LS in teenage males back then. And from Disco Demolition through B96's ascendacy, LS was basically an AOR station with jingles.
