Goodbye WGSO!

[smashedcd]

From the Radio-info newsletter...

Independently-owned New Orleans-market talker WGSO (990) lays off four, to keep the station going.
Look like much of The Voice of the North Shore will be automated starting next week. Recently-named News Director Dainya Jay told the Radio-Info newspage she’ll be leaving tomorrow along with daytime hosts Sheri Campbell and Bernie Cyrus, plus “jack of all trades” Charles Guidry. The Jeff Crouere morning show and sports play-by-play from the University of New Orleans may be the only live events on the station, owned by Northshore Radio.

Wonder what syndicated talk they will get?

The remaining syndicated talk options could be "crumbs". RNO, WIST and WWL have too much sewn up.

I sense a return to the biz radio/cnn headline news format.

Now that makes sense.

Do affiliates still have to pay cash for CNN Headline News?

Do affiliates still have to pay cash for CNN Headline News?

Yes, the audio is distributed via satelitte by Westwood One... the payment depends on market size and numbers.

But seriously, does any station running CNN Headline News audio have any ratings?

Justice is done!! It couldn't happen to a more deserving owner who went into radio for wrong reasons, aired wrong programming, aimed at the wrong area and rightly failed. It's a shame that some well meaning and dedicated employees had to experience the pain of failure that was beyond their control. :'(

There's an electronic billboard on Vets promoting WGSO. It has Cruere and O'Reilly's mugs and it proudly says "The Voice Of The North Shore" on Veterans Blvd in Metairie!

Talk about a waste of money.

Haven't updated their web site yet.

What took so long to get rid of these hacks? For Bernie Cryrus to be one of the last men standing shows you the ineptitude of this bunch.
