How about throwing a bone here. What place and where?
So maybe the two boys from Entercom & Citadel showed their claws? Did it happen after Southern Decadence?

This is the typical lack of professionalism you'd come to expect from M.K. It's sad that neither promotion dept. was able to get clear instruction from the vendor on where to place banners and setup. And I'm sure alcohol had nothing to do with this sort of behavior. Their sexual orientation has nothing to do with the disturbance, it's total lack of maturity. I don't know John well, but I'd be certain he did'nt start it.
Mike's antics started long before the altercation, he had his people start putting banners up over diva's.

It happened the other night at The Sugar Mill during the Saints pre-game show welcoming Sean Kingston. He's that guy that sings the song Beautiful Girls (Suicidal); that's the one that samples Ben E. King's "Stand By Me." Apparently both stations had promoted the show and both fought over it! How ridiculous! lol 
Someone mentioned on an earlier threat that M.K. hires people with no radio experience. It's true. I trained a few of them. They let me go and hired *younger guys* right off the street with NO radio experience what-so-ever.
What's sad is the fact there are people out there at ANY job, not just radio, that'll do anything to move up and score brownie points while screwing over the good. So sad!! I learned, so I just watch my back, retaliate if needed, smile, and move forward. What goes around comes back around.
I'm a film and television senior at UNO now. Television is so much more fun and it pays much better!

I don't blame you. I already know this. Ya know, I worked for Andy and John Roberts at B-97 part-time. John left and was replaced by Mike. He was the only PD that looked for any reason to let me go... and he did right before Katrina.

Here's what saved M.K. so far. If he did'nt have such a strong sales team at B "which is selling at a higher quintile than the other two FM's they own" things would have to change. Heres the answer to all Entercoms problem. Drug test everyone, every 6 months with a hair sample. And why no go as far as asking Entercom and all other broadcast companys a drug free workplace. Who am I kidding? You'd have to fire 3/4's of the work staff if they did that. It would make stock prices go up though.
Are you serious?
What channel? LMAO These dudes are LAME!My finacé went with a couple of her friends to the event. One of her girlfriends said it was Steve G and some woman putting them up over Diva's! And that John walked in a little while after that and exploded!

As I heard it, B hung their banners somewhat minimally. Diva came after and hung their banners on any and every available space of wall that B left. Then, the PD from B got pissed and started covering Diva banners. Love it!
