KFBK GM fired

[kinetic]

GM/market manager, etc, etc, whatever, Jeff Holden has been fired. Word has it a replacement will be named tomorrow.

That's no fun....Good luck to Jeff..

Wow, he had a nice 10 year run.  Best of luck to Jeff.

Too bad. Jeff was a class act. Wonder what it means beyond him. New OM Steve Weed has only been there a few months. PDs don't survive many GM firings. It rolls down hill

Will this new guy make any changes to any of the formats? Speculation?

They always gotta put their mark in there some place, or they're not doing their job. ( Wow I used all three variations of 'there'! )

Radio in 2012....you are great for ten years then all of a sudden you are out. Sad. Regarding Steve Weed, you are giving CC a lot of credit to think a GM/Market Manage actually has any control over the product.

Any updates on the mood in the Clear Channel compound on Ethan Way?

KFBK-AM and fm are good as is they have a 5.9 in the april books. I don't know why the KFBK is Fired if the station is good in the books.

They have their big move coming up. There's probably a lot we don't know but the last time I checked, moving a cluster of radio stations to a new building is an expensive venture. It's obvious CC likes to do things on the cheap so maybe they needed extra cash.

Do you know where they are moving to? That sure was a long haul at Ethan Way!

River Park Drive in the same building as The Fish I believe. About a mile (if that) from the current location.

Interesting.

KFIA, KTKZ, & KSAC also part of that Salem cluster. KWOD was also in that building long ago before the Renaissance Tower.

Your belief is half right. RPD yes, same building no. The Christians will continue to watch over River Park from the palatial 5th floor address. CC will be in a smaller building.

Are there any Sacramento stations that broadcast out of the Buildings downtown?

No. CC, Entravision, Entercom, CBS, Salem, and Results are all North/NE of downtown. To my knowledge, KWOD was the last to broadcast downtown until they moved around 2003.

Diamond Broadcasting was still running their AM out of Old Sac well after KWOD was forcibly removed from K st.
