Houston and Dallas CBS properties going bye bye!

Jay F said:
In defense of Tookiebird, he was just pointing out that if (and it's a big if since we keep hearing CBS is only going to sell off their smaller markets) CBS was to sell off Houston and Dallas it would not be in an employees inbox. The employees would be the last to know. Tookiebird is exactly right about that.

I think what we may be forgetting in all of this is that everything is for sale if the price is right. It may be hard to meet CBS's price for the Houston stations, though. Time will tell. For several years now, a lot of us have questioned how much CBS really wants to remain in radio. It's hard to say if we're seeing the beginning of the company's exit from the medium or if we're seeing a renewed interest in larger markets, like Houston, where they're under the cap and able to bulk up.
 
If you go back and look, I think RadioStarOne said that the staff is the last to know. I'm sure he's right. It's true in a lot of businesses.

I think the problem arose here when Tookiebird became insulting. The moderators edited his horseDUNG remark. Then he says Chuck doesnt know anything. How does he know what Chuck knows or doesnt know? Does he know him? Just because someone works parttime in radio, does that mean that they are not connected?

He has been insulting in other boards:

Girls:

Stop worring about your next radio gig. Grow up. Raise a family with a father. That's what this country needs now more than anything. No more selfish women. Got it?

PS: Oh and put the bong away

AAh yes the days of Ricky Ware calling Hiapanics "Meskins" on the air (KBUC) Now fatboy Ware Ware is Calling Castro "His kind of guy".

Hey Ricky they're gonna string you up on a big bbq pit and slowly roast your fat ass. And for Brad Messer they're gonna attach you to a huge bong and pump dope in you 24 hours a day until you pass out and enter dopeland.


Demeaning to women, calling people fat, and drug abusers, this does seem to be his way.
 
Guys/Gals like Tookie are a "dime a dozen". He claims so and so "doesn't know anything"...yet Tookie has ALL the prognostications and facts at his disposal. Truth is, employees are the last to know. But Toookie doesn't have a handle or is "in the know" on things either. He just wants to stir the pot, but it like the soup, he just goes in circles.

Unimpressed.

BTW, I asked this in another thread, but since we are talking about CBS, what is the latest with their Morning opening on the Wave?
 
There has been speculation on changes coming at Clear Channel as well, with talk that the smaller markets (such as Beaumont) would be sold or spun off.

Wonder if a future new owner of 92.5/95.1/104.5/106.1 would try to turn one or more of them into a Houston rimshot? Massive obstacles in the way, of course, but someone not capped out in the Houston market might be willing to take on the challenge.
 
Nicole,

Get your facts straight darling. Chuck proclaimed FIRST i didn't know what i was talking about. Last time i checked, this is a free country. You have the right to your opinion and i have a right to my opinion. Certainly being an African American woman you should understand that.

Word is Roy Henderson is going to buy a major signal and hire Clay Gish!!!! (Former KRBE PD)
 
Tookie..have your opinion all you want, it being a free country you have the right to make a fool of yourself every time you post...

Freedom Of Speech exposes the stupid and ignorant as well...
 
I am speaking for myself...all I have read from you is complete BS and speculation...and when given some solid info and evidence, you cast it off by "sticking to your guns" Good call W, er I mean Tookie...stick to them all you want, you're still wrong....

Again...keep posting and showing us how clueless you are, it is really revealing!
 
Tookie. I went back and looked at everone of Chuck's posts. Not once did he tell you that you did not know what you were talking about. He said thats not what he got in his memo. If anything, YOU told him that he didn't know anything, becauuse he is just a parttimer. Whats the matter with you?

Go back and read it. Find it. You don't see it. He never stated it. Opinions are one thing, facts are another. What you stated about Chuck was false and you know it! Whats my being black have to do with anything? Its on my profile; why bring it up? But then, this is what you do. It's your style.

Re-read the part that you wrote about getting facts straight and apply it to yourself.
 
Interloper,

Excuse me??? And YOU know? I know people high up in the chain at CC, Cox and CBS and they're telling me CBS will sell.

Now tell me, How do you know i'm wrong?

What a pea-brain you have.
 
Nicole,

You're IQ astounds me. As i say again. Chuck is right and i'm wrong? How do you know?

Keep your head in the sand girl!
 
Tookie...CBS is selling...but NOT in its MAJOR Markets, or where they have a strong O&O TV station in a Large/Major Market.

Doesn't mean they won't or can't...but that is not in their business model at this time, and I mean within the next 2-5 years. Could I be wrong, sure. But I will bet you I am more right on this then you are.

I am so happy for you that you know the "higher ups" at these places...but do you think they will actually tell YOU what their plans are?

The same thing you ripped this Chuck guy for, you are NOW doing yourself. A little self righteous and full of yourself Tookie...

Tookie, ain't no one in decision making position gonna tell you what REALLY is going to happen either...

You more then anyone would be the last to know. Because if they know you, then they know you can't keep a secret.

BTW, if you know so much and are "in the know" I asked this and I will again, what do you know about the Morning gig at the Wave/95.7?
 
What do i know about the Morning gig at the Wave 95.7?

That YOU won't be getting it :D
 
Sure edit me for calling it as I and the rest of this thread see it..

Can't protect Tookie from his own stupidity and ignorance...

Yet he can rip folk...your rules of enforcement are inconsistent...
 
Interloper,

Better re-read the post. I simply made a factual statement and you and other know it all's pounced on me. Lear to debare and you won't get edited.

What a cry-baby. :'(

Andy Waldrop...are you the same one that does traffic in Houston?
 
This is my problem with you Tookie...

You THINK you have the facts...and YOU DON"T!

You don't know more then everyone else, nor do I, but I have and many other folk here have a better pulse/understanding on this than you do.

For you to state that what you say is factual is quite arrogant and ignorant...You know what you hear, that doesn't make it FACT! That is where you piss people off with your "I know all" approach.

SO go ahead board moderator and edit me for saying that you are wrong and incorrect...and for throwing back at Tookie the same venom he has spewed to what it appears to a number of folk on this board.

I have read a number of your posts Tookie on this board, and I am thoroughly underwhelmed at your insight, intellect, and graps of this tpoic and the industry in general.

Call me names all you want Tookie, still doesn't change the FACT you are wrong and have been called on the carpet for you alleged facts and information.


Oxygen Thief...your new name Tooks!
