Dylan gone at Q100 ?

Dylan gone at Q100 ?

Dylan seems to be off the air at Q100.
Adam Bomb moves to 3-7pm and Wendy goes solo 7 - 11pm.
Has Dylan left the station ? Or is he still the PD ??

How does this affect Q100 ?
 
Re: Dylan gone at Q100 ?

Dylan axed before Christmas, Roberts in charge for now.

Wasn't Roberts always "in charge" as OM over Dylan?

With Adam Bomb (filling I assume) in afternoons, Wendy (filling I assume) in nights, and Brittnay middays, that is a very weak (and cheap $$$) lineup outside of the Bert Show IMHO.

The question is:

a) does Adam gets a day-part promotion out of this, leaving Roberts to hire a new night person

b) does Roberts bring in a new afternoon driver/PD with Adam sliding back to nights

c) is the new Q100 lineup Bert Show, Britnay, Adam, Wendy?

I actually reserved the domain, with 99xwatch.com as my inspiration is it time to launch my http://www.howdoesthisaffectq100.com/ blog? lol
 
Re: Dylan gone at Q100 ?

So does anyone know if this was a budget cut? Was Roberts dissatisfied with Dylan's programming?

I once worked with Dylan on a promotion. He's very smart and a businessman. As a jock, he was weak in my opinion.

He rubbed EVERYONE the wrong way. Not a nice guy. Didn't help that he was dating the old promotions girl while still being married. One reason she left to join her old friend Tracy St. George in West Palm.
 
Re: Dylan gone at Q100 ?

It's the lead story on Allaccess.com, since I think it's against radio-info.com policies to quote entire articles, and it's not possible to link to an individual article on Allaccess, nuff said you can check it out.

Highlights are:

a) Roberts is named PD

b) Roberts is looking "for a new APD/MD/afternoon personality who really gets the 18-34 female lifestyle"

c) Also Q100 is looking for "some great on-air weekend/swing talent"

d) Dylan quote: "The station is on fire and hitting all of our demographic goals, the BERT morning show is the best in AMERICA and the rest of the staff is nothing short of amazing. I wish everyone at CUMULUS and Q100 the very best."

Of course this doesn't fully address/answer Roddy's or Inside your radio's questions/comments above.

Funny, but I was reading TSG's bio on the WRMF website a couple of weeks ago. She talks about coming to Atlanta and working at Star 94. But she makes no mention of doing middays at Q100 for 6 years. Maybe she ran out of space.

I remember when at Q100's launch party in early 2001, Brian Philips remarked to the crowd that "Tracy will tell you about how Q100 rescued her from another station in town."

Yeah they made a mistake letting Tracy go. Dylan treated her poorly and Rob Roberts sat down with her and asked her what else she could do beside being on-air??? Huh? She ended up leaving for about the same money but for somewhere that appreciated her talent!
 
Re: Dylan gone at Q100 ?

Some clarification here. Roberts says he's looking "for a new APD/MD/afternoon personality", isn't Brittnay (middays) the MD?

Then wouldn't it make more sense that Tracy & Erika are an item if she left Dylan for her?

So then at what point did Dylan break his wife's heart? Sounds like Karma to me. They say when you do something wrong it comes back to you three fold. So Dylan cheats on his wife with an intern, how classic, then said intern breaks his heart by moving away, I am guessing since this is out on Front Street perhaps his wife left him and now he lost he job. Yep the Karma cycle is complete. Time to move on.
 
Re: Dylan gone at Q100 ?

If you continually alienate everyone who works with you, eventually even the least perceptive management will make a change. Mr. Sprague was counselled more than thrice about this aspect of his personality. Apparently, it didn't take. The bullet was administered efficiently, if a bit late.

"Thanks for playing, and Jay has a copy of the home game for you..."

News to me. I worked there for several years and I don't know anyone in the building that thought that. In fact, tonight I talked to a couple of former jocks and they were all pretty much surprised by the news. The guy took a station with less wattage than a light bulb and made it competitive against a heritage Top 40 in an urban market. Could you do that?

Me thinks you're talking out your butt. But hey, it's radio, and one thing they teach you to do in radio is to "burn all your bridges" so you keep on talking about a major market PD who got let go from Cumulus (gasp, like Cumulus has never shot themselves in the foot before ::)).

I'm also calling BS on the "counseling" point. Cumulus doesn't do that. They just fire you. Like they did me.

I can't speak to the infidelity claims, but I interned under Dylan a few years ago and he was always very nice to me. He even took the time to listen to and critique my crappy air checks.

I'll always have nice things to say about him. I'm sure he'll land on his feet...and in a major way.

He used to listen to my airchecks too...he kept the hope alive that one day I too would be on air full time....

Ha...keep thinking that I don't know what I'm talking about... it's cool. Really don't care. And this is why we have this board. So we can vent with impunity!

I've no idea what the Cloud Company does, never worked for them. It's quite unlikely that I would in the future. Their predecessors, however, were very employee oriented, and did try to direct their employees away from negative approaches and towards harmony, Mr. Sprague included.
 
Re: Dylan gone at Q100 ?

Hey. I like the guy.

'Nuff said.
