Just rambling here-it's been coming for years-lead by the "Communication Cut Throats" Clear Channel. Cut the local talent and have bigger market "talent" voice track to middle and smaller markets. Still sell to local businesses-but concentrate on the national buys. Example-buy a format for a certain product and give them all the markets that CC has that format. Run exactly like a syndication program.
Now if you will allow me-Jim Parisi-had it made at KNST-had decent ratings-goes to the Voice-there 2 years-and gone! where and why? Granted he wasn't making a difference in Tucson TalkShow Land, but nevertheless-he was LOCAL. So all Tucson has for Talk is John Justice,Chris and Joe,Lewis guy at Nasty,Buckmaster and John C Scott. Am I right and is this sad????
Ok-now it's your turn-
