Okay, it's time to stop with the speculation and get down to business. I heard this straight from one of their big wigs so this is all fact:
This is definitley not a ratings stunt.
It is a fact that J Michael McCoy got into an arguement with his program director and got agressive toward him, including physical contact, which is assault.
My source told me that the reason McCoy hasn't been on the air as of late is because they gave him a 3 day suspension without pay. Geez, way to stick it to him for assaulting his own PD!
My source also told me that the program director for KWQW didn't agree with the 3 day suspension descision and wanted McCoy fired. Can you blame him? The program director, who's name escapes me right now, said that they either fire McCoy or he will leave.
My source told me that the program director quit on Wednesday. So, I'm assuming, they picked McCoy, who obviously has an anger management issue, over their program director. I heard that he was also the program director of that 1700 AM station that Citadel owns. It kind of makes you wonder about management practices there.
Of course, no one will ever hear what I've just told you, which is the plain and simple truth.
So I guess if you work for Citadel and want your program director to resign or get fired, just assault him or her and the uppers will take your side and not your boss's.
Why do they keep this clown? He thinks he's god's gift to radio and nothing can happen to him. Well, I guess this proves nothing can happen to him. Good job McCoy! [EDIT] McCoy is an idiot and should be banned from radio. Everyone should boycott his show!
