Massive Staff Infection?
Seriously. You know jack about their staff. Who cares where Ben went? He left because he was furthering his career (like real people), not because he suddenly got a wild hair up his colon to hate KUPD. He loved the job @ KUPD more than anything (anyone in Promotions will vouch for it). KUPD went through three receptionists because their longest running receptionist moved, the second got pregnant shortly after she started, and the other one was 35 years old. None of those had anything to do with hating the station either. Lu Valentino leaves an on-air job every three months in a different city every time. She's never anywhere permanently. Was Larry Mac supposed to stay in Phoenix forever? As anyone who understands radio very well knows, if you're in radio, you may not always be as fortunate as to stay in one city your entire career. Almost every single jock has had to switch cities at one point in their career.
Don't be ignorant and assume you know what is going on @ KUPD.
This is what you sound like when you say, "I know a guy (or have a friend) who works there and he said ...":
I have a friend who knows a guy whose sister slept with the brother of the girl whose best friend nailed the former roadie of a band who used to play with another band who opened for a guitarist who once recorded in Metallica's studio.
As far as the station having "ZERO marketing dollars", are you involved in Sandusky's day-to-day financial business? No. Does your close personal "friend" work in Sandusky's executive offices? No. How the hell would he (let alone YOU) know any of this? Ooooh yeeeaaahhh, your "friend that works there" is full of it. There is always low morale when you ask someone who works at the bottom end of radio and can't work their way up.
Before you go giving your "extremely professional" opinion about what is going on behind someone else's closed doors, maybe you should be the one behind them instead of taking some disgruntled worker's word for it.
