Forever prod people on the beach

I heard that Forever fired all of their local production directors and have replaced them with one guy working out of Altoona, who is the corporate production guru or whatever. For sure Danny Wright was axed, and I heard Berkowitz in Altoona too but I'm not certain.

You know what? That's a really shitty thing to post! You think Danny doesn't feel shitty enough about losing his job after being with The Bus for so long? Now you post it all over here for everyone else to read? That sucks and it's totally low class. Can people suffer in peace in friggin radio for a change? I feel bad for Danny. Danny's a great guy. He doesn't need other radio people to (BLEEP) all over him and kick him while he's down. That's low man, low class.
 
Danny is a good person and very talented...hopefully he will land on his feet again real soon.

Grow up. I didn't fire him. Go whine to Radio & Records and FMQB, which report every coming and going in the industry. Danny might like people to know he's out there and available.

There's the example you asked for, by the way. <P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by Spackler on 10/28/05 11:31 AM.</FONT></P>

To the person that was crying because someone else posted about a person losing their job...it's a friggin' radio information/news board! Besides, maybe the point was to post it and tell everyone so maybe other stations will know he is available and contact him and hire him. I can't see how it can be a bad thing because if he is really talented its good to get his name out. No one cares that Forever fired him because everyone knows they are cheapasses and complete idiots that only keep and promote the dumbest of the bunch. Goodluck Danny...I'm willing to bet you go to a better place.

Oh comeon! Danny is just another example of a Good Person in a bad set of circumstances. When I was out there, I wanted people to know. When I was cut loose from BHV in the 90's and it was in the trades and such, I got 3 calls from old friends with job offers within a week. (But I did not want to move from the area so I kindly declined).

I do not think anyone meant him any disrespect. And Best of luck to you Danny!!! You are a good talent.

By the way....I thought Forever treats their employees soooooo well! Lets hear someone defend that now.

Intentions Highly Doubtful

Oh please, give me a cotton pickin' break.

"I heard that Forever fired all of their local production directors and have replaced them with one guy working out of Altoona, who is the corporate production guru or whatever. For sure Danny Wright was axed, and I heard Berkowitz in Altoona too but I'm not certain..." Spackler

This was the original post. And if you read the original topic name, I highly doubt the poster's intentions were to announce the information all for the good of helping Danny.

This was a post made to take a another shot at Forever Broadcasting without knowing any of the facts. The poster even states he doesn't have all the facts by stating "I heard" twice in the post and "but I'm not certain." And of course the concern for Danny is so evident in the statement, "for sure Danny Wright was axed." Yeah, that's real concern there.

And maybe Danny DOES want people to know he's available. Did the poster ever bother to ask Danny if he wanted his bad news plastered all over here? Maybe the guy needs to get over the shock first.

Danny IS a good and talented person. He worked for The Bus forever (no pun intended). It's certainly no help to him to announce it in the manner stated above. It's just another way to take pot shots at Forever Broadcasting.

Grow up...again.

Like I said, grow up.

The intention of the post was to tell people what I had heard and see if anybody had any information. I don't know Danny, I didn't intend the post to help Danny, and no, I really don't have any concern for Danny - since I don't him.

This is a discussion and information board. If you want concern, help, and feel-good talk and advice, head on over to Dr. Phil's website.

Glad I could clear that up for you.

Re: Grow up...again.

All you did was confirm that you're the one who needs to grow up, your intention was to take a shot at Forever Broadcasting and you just wanted to be malicious and spread (BLEEP).

Re: Grow up...again.

I'm falling on both sides of this one. At least this Spackler person is honest. Yeah, it's an information board but aren't there boundaries that should or should not be crossed? Like someone else's personal employment situation?

A Thousand Points of Light

Okay, let me recap....a thousand points of light, a kinder, gentler Radio-Info.com, stay focused ...and if there are no good rumors, just make some up.

Re: A Thousand Points of Light

How about no rumors since no good can come from them and how about not spreading the PERSONAL business of others unless you have their permission to kick them while they are down.

Where is the RUMOR here? yes the person admitted that they do not have all the facts, but they were dead on about Danny being left go for whatever reason! I have been on both sides of the fence on this issue and I can tell you when I was left go, the rumor mill on the owner's side was busy weaving a story as to what happened to me since they did not want to publically admit to canning me. People ran into me and gave me every possible reason for my exit except for the truth.

Also, like it or not, on a discussion board, pot shots will be taken at Forever or any owner for that matter. How much dribble did I read on this board about how the Simpsons are monsters and they get rich at the expense of their staff. Do you know the Simpsons? Do you know how they treat people? I think Ted and Cary are the salt of the earth truthfully. They treat their people LIKE PEOPLE!!! I did not see anyone yelling that things should not be said about them when it was hapenning.....but take a shot at Forever and HAIL CEASAR...we should be stoned!!!

Its a radio board and part of that will include rumors and slams from time to time. That is the nature of the biz...oh and yes I am sure that Danny feels badly about his situation, but its not really that PERSONAL to talk about it. When you are a public figure and you take a job that puts you in the spotlight, people can and do talk about you. If you were slamming his relationships, or him directly as a person, thats one thing...but to talk about the guy losing his job does not seem to cross any boundaries to me.

Heck, a few years ago when Kevin Nelson was yanked off the air at WRSC by the Dame Regime it was blasted all over the newspapers and various boards. No one seemed to feel that this was wrong for Kevin and his family. Everyone felt for the guy and we were all rooting him on! Thats what radio people are supposed to do when one of our own is down...we rally together for them!

Just my take anyway,
Hitman

Do you need me to call a contractor to build you a bridge so you can get over yourself??? From your attitude on this board, I would bet money that whoever fired you was not back peddling at all.

I was sooooo stoned this weekend...oh wait, not THAT kind of stoned, continue.

If you're the spokesperson for building the collective morale of radio folks, this industry is f****d.

Dear Youngin' (I mean that nicely of course, feel lucky you're young)

There is no specific rumor here, only a reference to them. I recommended they go by the wayside. All rumors do is screw with people's heads and anyone who engages in perpetuating what they know to be rumors are just doing it because they get off on it.

> yes the person admitted that they

That same person admitted they didn't post it for all of reasons everyone speculated about. It was openly admitted by the poster that the poster did not give a damn about Danny.

I remember when you were let go. My question to you is, did you find out the stories as to the reason you were let go from everyone else or the owners themselves? Because I'll guarantee you this, when you were let go, you were not a thought beyond that to them. And speaking generally, people are not thinking about you as much as you think they are. In the business world, radio or any other, once they let you go, they move on. I highly doubt they were spending any extra time "weaving" anything. It's a simple fact, once you're gone, you become an after thought and they move on with business.

I wasn't around for the Simpson thing but if someone put something nasty up here about Ted and Cary, I'd have blasted them just like now. It happens I know them both. I think they are two businessmen with the same human frailties as any other. They just play the business nicer than most.

The nature of the biz? That's a feeble excuse to attempt to allow the continuance of such shittiness to occur over and over.

Maybe it ain't personal to you but did you ask Danny that same question? His job was not part of a relationship? It was part of a BUSINESS relationship. One that has been severed by his employer. And I think disclosing his loss of a job on a public board is talking about him directly as a person.

I've known Kevin Nelson for at least 20 years. Served on a few non-profit organization boards with him. Kevin is a great man just like Danny is a great man. And I know Theresa Nelson as well. What people don't know is that it was SHE that brought in the media. She is allowed to do that, she had a right to do it. What most people don't realize about Theresa is that she's a one person publicity wheel if and when she wants to be. Most of the time, she sits quiet until she's provoked. It was she that disclosed the reasons for Kevin's firing. The media worked with her on the movements of that story, they didn't start it and it didn't start by someone from the outside posting it on a board.

> Just my take anyway,

I'm not blasting you for your opinion, son. You are entitled to have one. But, it's still shitty for anyone to just go on a public board and pour out someone's laundry.

Let me get this straight - there's no rumor, but there is a reference to a rumor, but somehow I am perpetuating a rumor and getting off on it?
Did Danny get fired? Yes? I guess it isn't a rumor then.

I didn't post it for the reason YOU speculated about, either, although somehow you seem to think your speculation is somehow divine but everybody else is way off base. You have me pegged as a rabid anti-Forever ideologue, but you just don't have any evidence, and you won't find any.

You're bummed that I posted the information here, and that's fine, but don't try to paint me with your Forever-hater brush.
 
Re: A Thousand Points of Light

The original post was just a statement of fact. Seemed totally innocent to me.

People in radio get fired for no reason constantly. No one who knows anything about the business is going to think any less of him.

I only spoke to Danny one time, but he seemed like a very nice guy. Hope he lands on his feet.

Kbuzz. You are clueless. Danny is a good guy and will land on his feet. You have no idea of the circumstances around Danny's departure, so don't call forever cheapasses and complete idiots. I'm sure Danny wouldn't. You are lumping a whole lot of good folks into that statement.
