GARY MICHAELS MIA FROM WDJR

Wish him well. Seemed to be a hard worker from the limited vision I had, enjoyed him on air. Wondered how long he'd stick with Baker gone. I need to PM Jenny Woo on the NWFL to hire him for her new station(s).
 
For all of you Gary Michaels "well wishers", you have no inkling of the cancer that he is. My boot camp drill instructor used to say, "when **** floats, you scoop it out." Good riddance Mr. Ego, and here's hoping you fall off the face of the earth.......
 
Ego, radio personalities? No way! I've never heard of ANYONE on the radio having an ego. My goodness, it is all about the listener.......isn't it? ::)
 
I dont think it was ego with Gary it was more confidence. Just look at the ratings and they will speak for themselves. He killed that goofy morning show on his own station not to mention his ratings on Rock too. Say what you want about him but he knew how to communicate with the listener. Best of luck Gary where ever you end up. Enjoyed listening to you. They really messed up letting you go.
 
I'm not going to get into a domestic dispute. Good radio is good radio. Mediocre radio is mediocre and poor radio is poor.

Gary's show was always good, whether on 96.9 or 102.5. He was professional. Whomever they hire to replace him has their work cut out to do as well. Good luck to them.

As far as the ego arrows that are beginning to be thrown here as this "separation" of a former family unit takes place I just have one thing to type. We/you all have egos but if you don't keep your own somewhat in check AND be greatly patient with others then you'll start going down the Spiral Elevator and end up just like the eighth floor....talent, ego but very little green cabbage. Think about it boys and girls.
 
Stewy is (as he usually is) spot on. John has not posted here (until right now) since leaving Dothan because I've been too busy wrangling 7 stations to have even come on R-I until someone told me I'd gotten an honorable mention today.
The fact is that Dothan harbors some of the most talented people I've ever encountered in over 30 years in the business including top 5 markets, and to see so many get wrapped up in silly bickering is just sad. I had a mixed bag of success in the market and am grateful for the chance to have worked with and against some fantastic radio folks. There are some stinkers in every market, but by and large the talent pool in LA is incredible.
Skip - your vitriol directed at your former co-worker surprises and saddens me. I suppose I always held you to a higher standard. You and Gary carried wonderful numbers, which kinda puts you both in the same class. All I can say is be careful who you crap on - we work in a small and incestuous business.
I wish the best to Mason & Misty in their endeavors and likewise to Gary who I know will land firmly on his feet and continue to do incredible audio engagement wherever he finds himself.
PEANUT CAPITOL; arrogance is a funny thing...you never know where it will spring up. Check out the mirror.

Man! They couldn't even wait until big article in May/June issue Dothan Magazine came out on him. Will someone please get Gary's forwarding address and send him his copy?
 
Gee, Gary must not have like my post & had to cry to the moderator. It was all truth and can be proven beyond the shadow of a doubt. What comes around goes around & ego is an understatement, Narcisism at it's finest. :-*
 
Hey Xenophobe, haven't had time to log on in a while. Would love to repost, but it would probably disappear again. Tried to send you a personal message to no avail. We should have a side bar. How can i reach you?
 
Looks like Magic's not the only group with problems...First Jeff Baker, then Gary Michaels and just yesterday I heard Radio People advertising for a new sales manager. What's going on with RP?
 
They are looking IMean but not because of Baker or Gary. I'll bet they are because of a promotion for Bill J got a promotion to status of MM or something similar. Ron probably wants to play more tennis. Just a guess.
