Here's a clusterf**** of a grand scale! This company blows into the area with 2 guys who attempt to buy properties everywhere. Since November of last year, they purchased KLIC-AM and attempted to purchase KBYO-FM, KMBS-AM and KWMS-TV. As of August 7th they are officially out of business, having stiffed their employees of 4 weeks pay, including paychecks that bounced and failing to close on the other properties. KLIC-AM, the only property they actually own, has been dark since then and the TV station is being run by a new company under an agreement with the original owners.
The employees have filed a lawsuit against them seeking the back pay. Meanwhile, the owner continues to travel around the country, and when he is home, spends time lounging is his pool(still pays his pool boy), relaxing at his country club that he owns, and affording his wife the opportunity to post on FB about all the shopping sprees, spa visits...etc. The other joker, said owner's manager, cries poor-mouth yet still has a somewhat thriving internet service providing company. Yet the employees are now struggling to make ends meet. Good luck to those employees filing for unemployment as Hometown Media did not send in the payroll taxes which were deducted from each employee's checks.
What a country!!!!
