SCRADIOJOCK

Guest
Everytime I think I have seen the craziest part of this crazy business, I stand corrected. Even in the world of corporate radio, the decisions they make never cease to amaze me. I can see cutting non-essential dayparts if a station or group is looking to lighten the bottom line. Mid-days, midnights, and maybe to an extent evenings, although I am a firm believer that a tight talented evening jock and really make a station shine, are examples of cutbacks that are would be reasonable.

Lets examine this little move by Weldon and the other idiot pencil pushers who have no clue how to actually program a radio station, not just count the bottom line. You have a guy who oversees multiple stations, who actually LOVES the stations, not just someone who collects a check. He has a boatload of experience, and someone who will work like a dog. All this work and loyalty is rewarded by an insulting salary. How much do they think they will have to pay several people to accomplish the same amount of work done by one low salary? Maybe Chris? Opps, gone. Maybe Pauline? Opps, gone. The list goes on and on.

Even the Empire doesn't burn through the amount of people who have been through the West Leb Nassau in the last 12 months.

All these kind words having been said, I want to be clear that I don't have a personal stake in the life of Heath Cole. I am just aware of what he has done with VERY little to work with. I am impressed by it. My point here is to vent about the bigger issue that we face. As in another post where I pontificated about the need for live local personality radio, I can only weep for the future of our business. As things get slicker, and easier, more and more decisions are going to be made that don't even factor in the fact that we are here to serve the listener.

When was the last time you read or played a PSA? With all the "talent" in another market, who do you send out to be involved in the community? Who do you have that listeners can relate to, identify with, befriend? Who can be the "face" of the radio? Who cares about all that stuff as long as advertisers pay, right? Who cares if anyone really listens? Without the personal touch, why not go to Best Buy and pick up an XM?

Good luck Heath. I am sure you have played the game well, and have people who are wanting to get you on their payroll.

Although I am just keepin an eye on the radio, this evening, I am just shaking my head.

A dedication for Heath... you all know the song. Sing it loud and sing it proud. Heath... best of luck to ya, hon. You and Libby are in my prayers.

Don McLean
American Pie

A long long time ago
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while.

But February (April-for Heath) made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step

I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died

So
{Refrain}
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Did you write the Book of Love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so
Do you believe in rock 'n roll
Can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow

Well, I know that you're in love with him
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues

I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died

I started singin'
{Refrain}

Now for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
But that's not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the King and Queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me

Oh, and while the King was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lenin read a book of Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died

We were singing
{Refrain}

Helter Skelter in a summer swelter
The Byrds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
It landed foul out on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast

Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the Sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance
'Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died

We started singing
{Refrain}

Oh, and there we were all in one place
A generation Lost in Space
With no time left to start again
So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
'Cause fire is the Devil's only friend

Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in hell
Could break that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrifical rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died

He was singing
{Refrain}

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play

And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died

And they were singing
{Refrain}

They were singing bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die


You will be missed Heath... but like everyone else is saying, you will get picked quick.

Unfortunately....you're thinking like a BROADCASTER....and not a "bottom-line business boob!" (You can reference this type as a 3-B)! A 3-B is only interested in the cost/run sheet...so whatever comes out of the radio speaker is secondary. The right TALENT to make a radio station dominate in the market and earn the support of listeners and advertisers isn't necessary! If we can hire interns who will work for minimum wage and no benefits...what does it matter? IT'S CHEAP and COST EFFICIENT!

And if you look at some of their other acquisitions (and subsequent firings) it's clear that the "oversears" have no clue about program content. As long as they can use a pocket calculator to add and subtract figures...they've got a job!

I never had the pleasure of working with or for Heath Cole, but I've learned from years of being in and out of the business that PROFESSIONALS EVENTUALLY LAND BACK ON THEIR FEET. So even when a stupid corporate decision is foolishly executed....the person who was 'targeted' (aka fired) often winds up in a better employment situation than before? It might be conncected to broadcasting. It might be in a completely different profession. But it's usually an improvement?

What's even funnier is the fact that it usually takes one or two of the CORPORATE DODO BIRDS roughly 6-12 months to realize that they don't know as much about the broadcast biz as much as they thought they did?

A fitting tribute to one of the hardest working broadcasters in the region. The best of luck to you and Libby, bud.

Not to worry. But just to point out: the music only died at Nassau UV. The next station(s) who hire(s) Heath is in for a big treat as well as the listeners. He's professional, entertaining, and smart in his line of work.

Heath Cole never disappoints.

It's a damn shame Nassau couldn't recognize that.

It's a damn shame Nassau can't seem to do much right in the region. One by one they have picked off the talented people who were making things work. Maybe someone should remind the Frish guy that he never really owned any stations in the market. He was a 12% owner-and obviously somebody with a brain was calling the shots. This guy has not a clue. Rumor has it the remaining staff actually considered walking out when they learned of Heath's demise. Unfortunatley they are all expendable and probably realized it and decided a walk out would do no good. Heath-you will land in a better place...I'm sure of it.

If you want to "open the eyes of the Nassau suits"----go to a few of their advertisers and let 'em know that what they're buying is "audio marshmallow fluff!"

While the Nassau 'suits' might believe that each and every member of their staff is expendable, do you believe that any of them (male or female) can keep their job for very long when their advertisers begin to 'pull their schedules?'

Most daily program logs at EVERY RADIO STATION (including PBS) need a fewing paying customers. Station promos and public service announcements don't pay the bills! Perhaps the real "wake-up call" should begin in Nassau's wallet?

Not too far off the mark, argy... if heath decides to sue, they will hurt... once the advertisers know they fired the programming director (and a few already do), they will pull their ads because they aren't going to want to be part of a drowned vessel. It happened at WNNE when the news went to Plattsburgh... that place isn't making any money like they used to bring in. They run more PSA's then paid spots... I stopped watching because of all those PSA's and now it's going to be a lot of PSA's on the West Leb stations. It's really sad that the Upper Valley is being swallowed by the big corporations that don't care about the local folk. We need to get these stations back to local and get rid of the corporate wolves.
 
We

AMEN!

And the only way "the wolves" will realize there's a problem is when they start fighting over the limited number of "sheep" (aka dollars) in their paychecks!
Right now...they can just fire the "underlings"----but the supply of those will eventually run out?

Something else to consider (on a broader scale)...but if this "grass roots/don't let the big guys stomp all over you" theory works when it comes to Broadcast Conglomerates.....I wonder if the same principal would work in Washington DC???

How many Americans REALLY HAVE THE GUTS to stand up to a politician and say: "NO MORE! WE'VE SPENT ENOUGH ALREADY?"

(I could quote the old "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore line" from the 1976 movie: NETWORK....but that would be too easy). :)

Unfortunately, unless Nassau/Vox signed Heath to a contract and then violated it, there's little sense in suing because he was an "At Will" employee which means he can be fired without cause at any time. It sucks, but thems the breaks. Hopefully he has naked pictures Lou "the Merciless" Mercantante and can snag a little piece of the ever shrinking Nassau pie. So, if Heath's gone along with Chris & Pauline, who is left and why? 3 Dollar Bill, Shep and some interns? Shouldn't you get rid of the non-essential personel first? I've heard that Nassau is having some difficulty paying it's vendors as well, so more moves should be expected.

Art Steinberg must have seen this coming early on, because last August he also just upped and left after 18 or so years with the same cluster of stations. <P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by RRHootchieCoo on 04/05/06 10:54 PM.</FONT></P>
