Louie G on WILD 104

[Kenroberts]

Congrats to Louie on getting a job. Do you think they will bring the station back to real CHR? let's hope. Otherwise it's a waste to get Louie.

anyone know what salary he was hired at?? :-X Good for Louie! Hope he does good!

He'll be gone as soon the Citadel's budget axe lands in Bingo-Town.

Pardon me as I yawn...

That is a consideration or they will get rid of others to keep him. I am thinking he is a waste on WILD. Bad signal, the programming has been lame for the past year or so. They are spending a lot of money and probably will not get the return.

If you look at the past couple week's worth of Citadel's activities, they are dumping very talented people in major markets for reasons of money only. Places like Binghamton & WB & Harrisburg & Syracuse are going to wind up with
very small staffs, and satellite programming. Right now, being in an on-air position with Citadel is about as secure as job as Eliot Spitzer's!

Speaking of that, what's this story going around Bingo that the Mighty and Legendary WAAL is going to be flipped to Scott Shannon's True Oldies?! That's an ABC Satellite format. In comes the Starguide, out goes the staff?

Imus in the Morning, with News Director Dan Dempsey. That would be fun! Is Dan still on the air anywhere?

I'm sure there will be plenty of rumours, and it does seem that Citadel/ABC is pushing the Shannon Oldies Channel. Right now, I think virtually anything is possible. And it won't be the local GM's who are to blame. They'll be given 3 rotten choices by corporate to make and forced to pick one for every station. You might see a morning show at every station which will be done by the station PD and then everything else will be on automatic. Entercom did that awhile ago in a number of markets. No matter what they do, it most likely won't be very pretty. Their stock is in the tank, and they owe a lot of money on the ABC deal. They'll be making a lot of desperate decisions. I feel sorry for people like Randy/Don, Neely, John D and some of the others who have soldiered along all these years. I'm sure they're not having much fun right now.

Hey Tom, that's flaming Dan Dempsey up next with the news...LOL. With his Ace Ventura hair. He's been off the air for a few years now. I think he still cleans the schools for the U-E district. How's everything down south?

 

[tom mcdonald]

It's always amazing when I tell all of the old Flamin Dan stories down here, how many people cannot believe that anyone like that actually had a job in radio... snow squirrels, rogar neal, the snkae by neal mccoy. When I move into my new house at the end of the month I'm sure I'll come across a box of airchecks and I know I've got a bunch of good stuff in that box!

WOW HOW WE LOVE TO GET OFF TOPIC AROUND HERE.. ANYWAYS, CONGRATS LOUIE, YOU WILL HAVE A LOT TO GET USED TO, ESPECIALLY THE LACK OF FRESH AIR, AND ESPECIALLY BEING DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE RESTROOMS!!(COULD HAVE A NICE ADVANTAGE). ANYWAYS, IT'S ABOUT TIME YOU GOT BACK ON, NOW HOPEFULLY SOMEONE CAN CONVINCE MARYBETH TO STOP COPYING 93Q AND MOVE TOWARD A STATION LIKE BHT OR WINK 106 (HECK EVEN KRZ).
