Jeff Dauler

Bert's Facebook status says "Significant update regarding jeff, the bert show and Q100. Will cover it for the first time at 730 tomorrow am." I guess we will find out which t-shirt shop Jeff will be calling home for the next three years.
 
Good for him and I'm glad he made his deal.

That being said--all the money he's being paid is less money available for other radio pros who may not have the luck to have been Bert-associated. Bert, who used to be Jack Diamond's butt-boy in D.C. and then again furthered his craft with Kraddick in Dallas--all good. No problem. Bert should have the show he wants.

But this guy is the guy? Could be. My experience is that the main guy plus 1 is the end of it--the rest is salad dressing. So that means that Bert plus 1 --who would that be--makes the show, and the rest are nice to have but not necessary in terms of results--who is that?

Jeff Daular? Maybe. Maybe not.

Jeff should take a lesson from Bert's own resume, which involved expanding his experience beyond being a sidekick and helped grow it all to where he was the lead guy,

My memory of Bert was as the sidekick. DC, early 90's. He wouldn't deny this.

that's BS. business is not a zero sum game, that applies to radio also. Grow the business, grow the money. If you pay for talent and grow audience, more money is available for everyone. A rising tide raises all boats.
 
He should only have taken less money, if he was able to mirror a new contract with Bert's that both expire at the same time. If they were smart, this would have been priority #1.

It may already be that way, but if Bert didn't push for Cumulus to make that happen, then it also sends a message to Jeff that Bert finds him expendable as well.
