To clarify one issue here, yes I spoke DIRECTLY with CLIENTS whom I had built up relationships with over the years who asked me questions because they were "misinformed" as to my departure by members of the station. I tried to speak with people from management about it to clarify the matter, and was turned away, but they were sure quick to remind me that I had that beloved NO COMPETE CLAUSE that kept me off the air for a time. There was a public post on a web site from a member of management blatently lying saying that I was not terminated, but in fact I left ON MY OWN ACCORD and that all rumors stating otherwise were false. So no, you do not know all the details. Management was indeed in full C.Y.A. mode.
As to whatever your opinions of me are, that really does not matter a lot to me. I know who I am as a person and so do my close friends. Ask jff110 or Pat Kain, or Ted Simpson or Mak himself what they think of me...they all know me and we seem to get along fine. But yes when I was with the station, we had some nice numbers and I was also told that there was some concern over "advertiser concerns" if word leaked out that I was cut loose. I assure you that the SPIN MACHINE was in full swing and there was so much flying around that Bill O'Reilly would have whiplash!
My point is, boards like this serve a nice purpose becase any time someone leaves, or is fired or otherwise exits the building there will be all kinds or stories flying around from all sides. I think people like to have an opportunity to fish through the "muck" to get to the bottom of things and I think as long as we do not cross the line by getting into personal details, thats just fine.
Besides that, we really have nothing else to talk about...can't talk radio because other than 3-WZ, G101 and the Buzz, everyone else here works for one company and really is not about to say things to slam their own employer right???
