Columbus Radio Bad Guys

M

masterdarke

I've been reading the responses to Columbus Radio Good Guys. Anyone have any thoughts on Columbus radio bad guys? There have to be a few of them.
 
Don't get me started!!! Actually, the fact that none of the program directors or general managers that I've contacted since 2000 has given me and my ideas an on-air chance doesn't necessarily make them "bad"; I suppose they're only doing their job as they best see fit, right? So instead of bad, what other adjective is there to describe captains who not only go down with their ships but who also don't really seem to care whether they plug the leaks or not? I've contacted many, many people over the past seven years, and only two of them have invited me in to listen to what I had to say. Everyone else was apparently too busy or too close-minded ... and a lot of those people are gone now. A half an hour of their time for a chance to save their job, and they weren't interested. And if it wasn't them but someone else above them who was the ultimate decision-maker, then they could've and should've gotten the three of us together, or at least heard me first before deciding whether or not to bring the third person into the picture. But they didn't do either.
I'm not going to name any names, as I'm not out to hurt any of these people. I feel sorry for them, more than anything else. But I feel even sorrier for the radio listeners of central Ohio.
 
not to be offensive here but has it occured to you that breakthrough ideas never go ignored. think it took the likes of henry ford, bill gates, charles goodyear, thomas jefferson, elvis presley or albert einstein 7 years to get someone to listen? methinks its time to go back to the drawing board.

as for the subject matter, i have now been away from radio for almost as long as i was in it (20 years) and have been racking my brain for someone who was truely a bad guy (or girl). I can think of tons of turkeys and bozos but noone was was just plain bad.
 
The people who ran Carreer Academy across from the statehouse on High St.
My mother gave into pressure from salesman Jimmy McClain(I think) a former Channel 2 personality form the early 60s. Was there for two weeks one year later after I graduated high school when the head instructor told me I wasn't meant for this business and instructed me to get out.... he bulk erased my audition tape when I wanted to venture out on my own..and me and my mother NEVER got our money back..needless to say I lost my respect for its "board of directors" which included Robert St. John, Fran Allison,John Cameron Swayze and Curt Gowdy.
I had the last laugh though when I discovered that it went out of buisiness several years later and was eventually razed to make way for the new Huntington Bank tower...serves 'em right!
