So John's out, and Brenda got axed not long ago. Who's in now, and what are their plans? Anything that the LISTENERS might actually benefit from?

John Roberts has been one of the brightest programmers in the country over the past 25 years. Philosophical differences usually indicates a GM..who probably is just a glorified sales manager...insisting on things that will ultimately hurt the product. Basically, sacrificing listeners for the bottom line. And in this corporate environment, this happens unfortunately too often. GREED.

Thanks for your input John.
 
If he's so bright, though (and I don't know him so I can't say one way or the other), why does he get fired so often?

I hate to be graphic, but this news of John Roberts (or JR as he used to so arrogantly sign his staff e-mails) only affirmed my belief in karma! Let me say this from experience, close experience...John Roberts is a person that does not have good in his heart or intentions. He is demeaning, malevolent and seems to leave a path of distruction at every station he is involved with.

I feel sorry for John Roberts. Real sorry. I mean if you can't at LEAST be a caring human being to others...

I know I am posting this way after the fact...I just found about about this. You hit the bullseye! This piece of (BLEEP) put me through a year of hell when I worked for him. I, however, do not feel sorry for him. People get what they deserve. I feel sorry for his family, who get dragged all over the country because he can't keep a job for more than a year.
