Legrett Leaving Citadel?

[SeenItAll]

The Buffalo Board is reporting on a rumor that ahead of the bankruptcy filing Kevin Legrett may be leaving Citadel and returning to Rochester for a new "business opportunity" with a former manager of his.

Leaving Citadel -- whether on his own terms or the company's -- makes sense. The idea of "Regional" managers has always sounded like an unneeded layer of management for any radio company.

Seriously, in a fully-staffed cluster, you have a local sales manager, a national sales manager, a general sales manager. Then there's the GM. Then there's a regional VP (or in Citadel's case, Regional Prez) before you get into the people who actually work at corporate HQ.

There's almost as much red tape in radio as there is in government. Seriously, what really IS the point of a regional VP when each market already has a GM overseeing one or two levels of middle management?

With Legrett's track record, I'm amazed that he lasted this long.

I hear Legrett is in talks with Arnie Rothchild about joining Normal Communications, the company that Rothchild runs out of Rochester. They handle transit advertising, airport kiosks, etc. in Rochester, Syracuse and Buffalo.

Kevin's departure could drive Citadel into bankruptcy.
