She was simply release from her duties at KHFI. Very little to do with her feature on Allaccess.com. By all accounts, it was a amicable split.

Well, if you can call having her job eliminated amicable. New PD wanted to do it all himself and probably screw it up. The All Access thing aside (does anybody still have the text of that because I missed it) a big mistake and a loss for KHFI (and 105.9 for that matter). She'll pop up again somewhere. She was too good a personality not to.

Good point. But I heard she was allowed to hang out inside the building the week following her termination. She had to see it coming. I do think she has alot more to learn about her on-air delivery, but I agree she won't be on the beach too long.

Here it is:
NAME: Deidre Gott
POSITION: MD/Nights
STATION: KHFI, 96.7 KISSFM
OWNER: Clear Channel Radio
MARKET: Austin, TX
Please outline your radio career so far:
I started at the very bottom of the totem pole as a promotions (BLEEP) (and this is after I got a college degree). My parents thought I was crazy taking a job for $5.15 an hour. Then I just kept bugging everyone from programming to production to teach me anything they could. I became a board op, got an on-air shift, and basically was at the station all the time. They had to keep moving me up!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. What led you to a career in radio?
I got a degree in theatre and finally realized what a crappy actress I was. I like music, and ever since I was young I thought radio was super cool, so why the hell not take a shot at it?
2. What was your favorite station to listen to when you were a kid?
I listened to Channel Z 95.5, the alternative station in Springfield, MO. But then they turned it into this crappy "Alice" station.
3. Do you have a favorite hobby outside of radio?
Hobbies? I thought radio was a 24/7 job. I sing with a cheesy "cover's band" and I also play piano.
4. What do you do to keep ahead of your listeners in terms of trends, likes and dislikes?
I'm lucky to be in the live music capital of the world so I see tons of shows. I obsessively read music magazines and discuss bands with my musician friends. Sometimes, I think my PD thinks I'm a little too ahead of the trends.
5. What music do you listen to when you're not working?
I'm extremely eclectic with my music tastes. In my car right now I have Jeff Buckley, Hot Hot Heat, Aslyn, Jamie Cullum, Tegan and Sarah, and Jackie Mittoo.
6. What Movie or TV program best describes your life?
Bridget Jones' Diary
7. If they made a movie of your life, who would play your part - and why?
I'm totally saying Angelina Jolie, 'cause we look nothing alike. The only thing we kinda have in common is she has DSL and I give great head. Can I say that? (Ed. note: is it warm in here?)
8. What is the one truth that has held constant throughout your career?
Do not get involved with co-worker's drama and gossip.
9. What advice you would give people new to the business?
Be available at all times and make sure people know you're available.
10. Looking around your office, desk, walls, etc. ... how would you describe your working space?
A beautiful mess of CDs, music mags, and band posters.
BONUS QUESTION:
What did you want to be when you were growing up? I used to watch reruns of a TV show, where Sally Field played a nun who could fly (Ed. note: uhh... that would be "The Flying Nun"), which made me want to be a nun. My family wasn't even Catholic. They were Southern Baptist.
