1210 AM was in the past the Music of Your Life. But now that they pulled the Pig, which probably was not generating a dime on AM, this could be a premptive move to flip the format to an FM frequency.
George Flinn and his group of broadcasters is one of the many reasons people run to satellite radio or Ipods.

Yes. Please ignore the winking smiley, indicating my attempt at playful sarcasm, because I was just deputized about an hour and a half ago.

Same here; I was sworn in as the deputy director of sarcasm for fat, balding, ex air talent who still get a charge hearing about the world from the dark side. They gave me one of Elvis's badges.

Way to go riversidedrive I agree with that! Not only did you put real deal in his place you did it with humor. Two much negativity here MBM was trying to say he wasn’t seriously attacking you (“Real Deal”). I have caught myself rearranging sentences and leaving a word in that is in the wrong tense. Sometimes I catch it before I post, sometimes I don’t. No big deal. Yes I am a fat balding (almost done balding) ex air talent and you will to some day. If not fat and bald; sarcastic and ignorant! It happens faster than you may think. The thing I’ve noticed about the older air talent on this site is they don’t get excited, they know who they are and they are comfortable with themselves. Rob Grayson when he posts has something interesting to say and expresses himself in a professional manner. So do Steve West and Rockin Rick and they respect your views when it is different from their own. Respect it but disagree with it! They don’t go on the attack when someone says something they don’t like or agree with. Of course they also use their own name except for Steve (and we all know who he is). I think that what riversidedrive was getting at is you need to pretend to be more mature. By the way not all ex air talent wants back on the air which is what I think you implied. I had a lot of fun in radio but I’m loving life now too. Care to compare paychecks?

Sorry, my radio friends, I'm living it, since 1966, loving it every day at Thousand Oaks and will die doing it, for more money than I ever anticipated making in my life. This is a great board, because it "Jacks" up everybody, both current and former radio folks. And I will continue to spend the few moments that I am not making money in this bidness to pontificate and chortle with the members of this board. It's so much fun!

>Phil! It's you. I liked your post. It is a lot of fun to read and post on here from time to time. They do stir up fairly easy, and at times act like a pack of wild dogs attacking each other because they smell blood. However, Steve keeps it pretty fair and had even deleted some of my stuff when they got me a little riled. I can spit venom with the best of them, but overall, it's usually pretty intelligent dialogue.
I particularly enjoyed your comment about "not all of us former jocks want back on the air" and "care to compare paychecks?" You still crack me up. I use Meepmeep on here, but my name is Paul. You and I worked together for a while at WRVR and related stations. You were right. I'm out and can satisfy what little "jones" is left by watching this board and keeping up with the Memphis market. Every on-air jock in the city needs to keep the old resume' and aircheck updated. Nothing may happen and everything may happen. I remember the feeling...they're on edge a lot because they could be unemployed the next day.
To so many of them, their on-air job defines who they are to themselves and their friends, therefore, they get testy and overly defensive. Hope they all have a plan "B". (especially any "Flinners", God only knows what's gonna happen there)
And yes...I'll go paycheck to paycheck with pretty much any of them. Also, I haven't worked on a weekend or holiday in quite some time.
I'm chunky and old, but not bald. At least I'm not living on Ramen noodles and certificates for free subs I stole from a remote somewhere.hahaha!

Not sure if this post is going to be intelligent or filled with correct grammar. Radio to me is not about the paycheck. Heck thats why I have a second job. I think its about doing what you love. I'm not saying that ya'll don't do something that you love now but I love my job. I make a little scratch while I'm at it. Also I am a single young man. I have no major obligations. And presonally I like eating noodles and using certificates that i get from the rado station (sarcasm) Oh I'm fat but young and have a full head of hair.

Buck, (real name) my real name is Paul.You may have seen that in my previous post. Hankins is my real last name. You want an address?
(See..that's sarcasm, also.)
I also have a head full of hair (albeit grey), and I'm glad you love your job.
Hey, I never once said "free" anything was a bad idea.
Single young man...no obligations...two jobs...sounds like things are going well.

Hey Paul, I remember you. You were one of my favorites at Froggy. I remember going to a staff meeting and you passed me like I was standing still in that little pick up you had. I was going pretty good myself about 70. When I got to the meeting, I think you had already eaten a couple of slices of pizza by the time I arrived. I said something about you driving like a crazy man and you said "Well at least I don't drive like a old lady". That was funny as hell, you slammed me! That won my respect, that and the Phil McCracken thang. Then I was driving a '94 Ford Tempo (but hey I was in radio!), now I drive a Cougar (5 Speed) doing much better now....wanna race?
