Lets make a topic out of it. What Really happened!!!

Y

youknowme

I just want to clear something up. "Taco Mayo" bit was approved to air. It aired 3 months before the termination of "The Mo Radio Show"!! Why was Mo terminated? Well, when you go from a 5.3 to an 11.1 in your first book and beat 2 "legends" in the second trend for the first time ever, that company starts to go "uh oh", we better do something. Then, "Mo" starts getting real publicity, top story on the news, raising thousands for the OKC police department. We better do something, not only that, but he is ripping Rick and Brad on his show, making them look bad.

What do we do? Well we have been taping his show and recyclers for months now, lets listen back to all of them and find something to use. You find the "taco mayo" bit, and send it to every advertiser on "the buzz". Which by the way is a huge FCC no no!! And Citidel should have been investigated for this, and still may be, because certain people are pretty sure who did it and sent it! Small community in the radio business. Word travels fast. Citidel knows of CC's zero tolerance policy. Advertisers pull, the buzz has no choice but to fire Mo and Barreda. Only to hire Barreda back 4 months later.

That's what really happened. The Buzz was on the ups, and quite honestly can do it again. You may say the Katt can't be touched, but is can, and was. Until, basically, they soiled themselves in fear, and resorted to unspeakable methods to bust up the Buzz. What is needed at the Buzz is management that will fight back if and when this type of warfare is launched again. And it will be, if the Buzz starts winning again. just like it was a year and a half ago.

Now before the speculation, this is NOT Mo. Just someone who knows the situation very well. What the Katt did, was, one of the single most cowardly acts I have ever seen in the radio industry. So, Mr. No-Static, before you start yappin about Mo, being too edgy, and getting himself fired. Get the facts. But, you already knew them, you just choose to ignore them.
 
I know who recorded what. Trisha York from Citadel did it!!! she went bragging it from what a few insiders say at Citadel.
 
Like I said, it's common knowledge Mo was taped, edited, and send to advertisers. Many people thought the situation was over and done with, it looks like now some people in high places are looking into the matter. There are somethings you do to defeat the compitition. that's not one of them. It'll be interesting who gets the last laugh out of this one. Licenses have been revoked for such behavior.
 
well I have an Idea on who this is. I won't say your name good luck and hope something is done. MO rocked the buzz and it did a good job.
 
I am keeping my mouth shut on this touchy subject. I think Mr Hurley would appreciate it. ;) Although I do know who this is for sure!! I think?
 
Ryan, What's touchy about it. Why would Hurley care? CC did what they had to do, according to corporate. Advertisers were threatening!! I don't think you know me, but you may. And that is not the point. The reason I posted in the first place is because of false comments, and people saying the Buzz has no chance. My point is the Buzz has a chance, and can take out the Katt. It has proved it can, alla, Mo's huge morning numbers, and what Citidel did to get him out of town, and get Barreda fired. The guys at the Buzz know what they have to do, the question is, are they ready to withstand more below the belt tactics by Citidel. And the real question is, who will lose their job at Citidel, if the FCC investigates them handing over edited tapes to advertisers It is well known who did it, there is proof. I know it's been well over a year, but it takes a while for an FCC complaint to gain attention.
 
Do you think MO will be hired back? I don't think Jrod is loosing any sleep over the whole below the belt, I would be more scared of him if it came down to it. hehe youknowme what do you know? I actually never heard the tape myself which is surprising?!?!?
 
Considering Trisha is LB's wife I bet she gets to keep her job.
 
Well since I am at home at this moment and this board is dead I thought I would bring it to life again. MO I know you read this because you tell me so, I happen to Aircheck The Buzz at the time for MO that is how we got alot of our best off bits and stuff, just so happened the day Taco Mayo aired the computer that was airchecking it went down. I remember Barreda and MO both calling me and asking if I had it I was franticly searching for it but it never recorded. :mad: Looking back on it if that computer never went down and I had the actual bit, MO and Barreda would still be there and Corbin would have never had the time of day to make the buzz his Ipod so no one else could stomach to listen to it but himself. I can't go back in the past and fix that or other wise I would have by now. I just wish when they fired MO they would have hired someone to do a Local Morning show insted of the same ol thing everyday Lex and Terry. I don't know how they are doing in Dallas but Oklahoma City does not care. I am not saying this because I was MO's producer but everyday when I went in I would wonder what is going to happen today, we did not have a game plan on what we are going to do at what time unless we had a band interview, or guest in studio doing something. Other then that it was unexpected. I miss MO he was a good friend and I miss working with Bill Hurley and Tom Travis and Barreda. Althought I am VERY happy for Jrod.
