Hanus? Rhymes with..
No, I'll let that go. It's too easy.
I don't know why you're stuck in this "us and them" view of sales and programming, since it's so obviously wrong. It's like a general treating his logistics and warfighting units as separate armies, instead of two parts of the whole. One cannot exist without the other. They both have the same goals. They work together, using specialized tools available to each, to reach a common objective.
Treat them as opposing forces and you get a disaster like Dieppe.
Use them as complementary parts of a whole and you get stunning victories like Taranto.

You mean a station needs someone capable of co-ordinating the efforts of both sales and programming to succeed? Someone that doesn't ignore half the assets available to him because of a misguided view of organizational theory?
You've just shown how blitheringly idiotic your "us and them" approach was to begin with.
Welcome to my world.

Which is why I constantly point out my strong points. Like my massive collection of vintage porn, compulsive masturbation, and freakish love of smokin' hot goth chicks. Yeah, I pretty much got that whole "selling yourself" thing down pat.

Us? US?
Brian, you're not a programmer. You're an obsessive wannabe that hasn't done anything more than slave away doing overnights back when you were a kid. Sweet Jebus man, you work in the back room of Best Buy selling virus scans and extended warranties to old ladies! The closest you've come to radio in the last decade is installing overpriced car stereos for folks half your age making twice as much money. You spent an entire year, A FREAKIN' YEAR, trying to convince people you were some kind of morning radio savior with a host of stations lined up to carry your show!
And where are you now?
"Ya, this extended warranty is a great deal. Covers everything."

That means so much coming from a guy that's spent every working day of the last decade wearing a clip-on tie and a Best Buy nametag. Why, I'd better watch my step! Just one phone call from you and every programmer in town will blackball me!
Stay sharp,
Kitana!
