I wish Steve the best. About 10 years ago when I was a student at Western Kentucky, I went to a seminar in Nashville that Steve put together with several other broadcasters in Nashville. He put together a symposium of local talent and programmers first at TSU in the morning and then downtown at a hotel in the afternoon. I was just starting out in radio at the time and it was great. Steve gave me some great details and was very nice. I also had a chance to meet him at KDF during a tour. He was a class guy and had to have some genuine smarts about him simply because he managed KDF/KDA/GFX for about 20 years. That doesn't happen to often in this business without a certain insight as to what is going on.
Good luck Steve. Hope better days are ahead.
BTW, some of the people I got to meet at that seminar: Hoss Burns, Lee Cory( at the time WSM-FM programmer), Dave( last name escapes me), but morning man at WJXA. It was a great time and I learned something-- that was the most important part.
