Let's see.......in the past year and a half of Frank Morning Show greatness, there have been SEVEN (7) versions.
1. Bill Fox alone
2. Bill Fox and Shelley Kincaid
3. Bill Fox alone, again
4. Bill Fox and Kelly Pryce
5. Bill Fox, Kelly Pryce and the "Legendary" Mark Persky "The Big Show"
6. Bill Fox and Kelly Pryce
7. Bill Fox alone, again, naturally
It seems to be that Bill Fox's competition is himself

I usually just sit back, read these posts, shake my head in disbelief, sometimes nod in agreement, or occasionally, laugh outloud. However, this time I think I'll actually respond in order to clarify.
The second post seems to infer that perhaps I have something to do with all of the morning show changes in the past year.
Let me make it clear, in NO WAY did I have anything to do with the changes made to the morning show over the past year. I enjoyed working with all of the partners that Nassau have paired me with...and I would be safe to say Shelly AND Kelly both enjoyed working with me as well. As long as you're a professional then I'm easy to work with...they both were very professional.
If you've spent anytime in this business, then you know changes are made...sometimes for no apparent reason to those outside the situation...other times it's quite clear why a change must be made. Obviously, I'm not at liberty to discuss any of the changes in detail, except to say they were made by Nassau management for reasons they felt would better the radio station. MY job is to support those decision...if I agree with them or not...and to do the best I can every morning between 5-9, no matter who is or isn't here, and then be a team player off the air. I do all of that.
Now to address the first post. Any references made to other stations during the course of the All Access/Bit Xchange interview were made simply to clarify the marketplace. I think I was honest in my assessment of those stations. I wasn't trying to slam them or make light of their position...I was giving my opinion...which is what I was asked to do by my buddy Mike Marino at Bit Xchange.
In the future, instead of posting speculation or inuendo about me, please feel free to e-mail me directly at [email protected]. I'll be happy to take time and answer your questions or stop a rumor before it gets out of hand.
Have a great day.

Spoken like a true yes man! As the host, you should be involved in EVERY decision that is made regarding your morning show. OK, when they decide to let you go Nassau probably won't consult with you, but with the revolving door you seem to have in the co-host slot, there's absolutely no way you were not involved to some degree in those decisions. And if Nassau truly did make those decisions on their own without you, what does that say about what Nassau thinks about your opinion? Not much.

Believe what you choose. However, I won't be lured into some half-witted debate about the decision making process. I couldn't possibly have been more honest in my last post. As to what management thinks of my opinion, I am VERY comfortable with the regard in which I'm held here in Portland, and Princeton.
The role of air talent is much like that of an actor on a movie set. Managements role is much like that of a director. Talent is encouraged to express their opinion, and I do when I think it's necessary. But the bottom line lies with the director. If they have a vision for the movie, and in this case a morning show, then my job is to respect their decision no matter if I agree with it or not.
A "Yes Man"? If you knew me then you would know exactly how funny that remark truly is. However, after 23 years, I've learned to pick my battles. My prima donna days are long gone. These days I have bigger fish to fry.
No matter your opinion, I appreciate your input.
Best wishes,
Bill

I really don't mean to sound like an ass Bill, but when you use the word, "professional" exactly how "professional" are we talking about here???
(Cough)....just a question, that's all....

Spoken like a true radio geek who has no clue what this biz is all about. In my years in the biz I've seen plenty of huge egos who think they know everything and insist on doing their show their way and only their way. Most of them suck on the air, and thankfully don't last long.
Bill seems to "get it". Maybe you will someday too.

Re: Frank's Bill Fox on all access--a little perspective
Wow. You people amaze me. Just when I think people can't stoop any lower on this board, I'm proven wrong.
Can't this business be discussed on this board without personal attacks against those employed in radio? There are plenty of aspects of the radio business that encourage good, informed, rational, polite discussion.
Bill, unfortunately you took the bait that they set for you. I probably would have done the same myself. Clearly you're above those people who have attacked you, and realize not to take anything they say too seriously. None of them represent your listeners, which are the ones who we in the business are actually out to please. Clearly with the success of Frank, that's something you guys are doing very well.
The entertainment value that these people provide with their rants is fun to read though. It's easy to hide behind a screenname and post annoymously on a message board. That allows the disgruntled, out of work jocks and programmers who all think radio has no idea what they are doing anymore, to rip the business and the people in it to shreds. The same goes for the wannabe radio people who have never set foot inside a studio. Not all people on this board fall into that category, but I would guess the majority do.
I read and enjoyed your interview Bill, and congratulate you on doing a fine job with all that has been thrown your way in the past two years. You've rolled with the punches very well.
So now I sit back and wait to get my shot at being torn to shreds with eager anticipation. People are fun aren't they?

AS A FORMER BROADCAST AIR-PERSONALITY (WHO HAD THE PLEASURE OF WORKING WITH YOU AND RESPECTING MANY OF THE PROGRAMMING DECISIONS YOU MADE)...I DON'T THINK ANY OF THESE THREADS ARE PRIMARILY INTENDED TO TEAR PD'S (OR OTHER RADIO PERSONNEL) TO SHREDS!
I THINK THE COMMENTS ARE MORE OF A DESIRE FROM PAST---AS WELL AS PRESENT BROADCASTERS---TO "WAKE UP THE MARKET" A LITTLE?
THERE ARE MANY RADIO STATIONS IN NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND WHO STILL SUBSCRIBE TO THE IDEA OF "WE'VE BEEN COMING OUT OF YOUR RADIO SPEAKERS FOR OVER 50 YEARS SO THAT MAKES US GREAT!"
BUT DOES IT REALLY? AND TO BE HONEST....WHO REALLY CARES????
THE DAYS OF "TREADING ON THE PAST" ARE OVER!
I GUESS IF THERE'S A RADIO STATION THAT'S SERIOUSLY INTERESTED IN IMPROVING ITS PRODUCT, PERHAPS A FEW OF THESE "SACRED COWS" EITHER NEED A BLOOD TRANSFUSION...OR SHOULD PROBABLY BE SLAUGHTERED?
WE BOTH KNOW THAT MOST LISTENERS NO LONGER STICK WITH JUST ONE RADIO STATION! SIMPLY BECAUSE THERE ARE JUST TOO MANY OTHER "AUDIO OPTIONS" OUT THERE!

Bill opened himself up to this with his neutered statement of how management is there to make the decisions and he's sure their decisions are with the best of intentions. Not word for word there, but that's basically his point. He's obviously not concerned about good compelling creative radio, he's worried about keeping his job. That's what corporations have done to this business. Any morning show host whose had the revolving door co-host like Bill has to ask himself some serious questions? What's wrong with management? Or what's wrong with me? If those changes were made without his input, then Nassau clearly has no concern or respect for his opinion. And by toeing the compnay line with statements like the one he made earlier in this thread, he shows just how much of a suck up yes man he's become. Is this his fault? Not entirely, he just wants to keep his job and support his family. It's sad that in order to do that he has to smooch the ass of a bunch of people who are just trying to please share holders. I'm sure he's a nice guy(see his links on his bio). He definitly has no idea where he stands with Nassau.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find many jobs that allow their employees that much input on their day to day operation. I guess I'm a suck up yes man too then, and proud of it! I love my job and love the business. Do I agree with all the decisions that management makes? Of course not, but I am going to support their decisions. I feel comfortable enough in my position that if I disagree with a decision that affects our show, that I can speak to management about it, but it is still their decision and I will support it. That's what everyone who is employed at most any job does. Even when I worked for locally owned radio stations, management still made the decisions, with or without my input. Make your voice heard, but ultimately support management's decisions. It's not "ass smooching." You seem to think that if you have a job in this business you have to constantly stand up and tell management that they are going about it all wrong. Face it people, like it or not, the old days of locally owned radio are gone. The old days of a lot of locally owned business are gone. To be in the business means to roll with the changes. Moaning about "pleasing the shareholders" isn't going to change it. Insulting individuals who are working for the corporations and not standing up for "good comepeling, creative radio" is just immature and uncalled for since every person in this business is doing their best to provide that very thing.

You don't like our show anyway Spoogie, you've already made that clear in previous posts, so your opinion means squat to me. The people on this board are not the people we target. What we're doing on our show is working in our demo, and that's all that matters to me.

Jparsons is a friend of mine, and you ARGYTUNES are NO Jeff Parsons.
BFox is a friend of mine, and you Spoogie are NO Bill Fox.
Licking toilets is perfectly acceptable, a couple of you crusty board members mentioned it, so image how the target demo is reacting.
I can lament the lack of local input, but it is what it is...roll with the punches and make the best of it. It's the same in EVERY business now.
