MAC DANIELS OUT AT CLEAR CHANNEL AUSTIN

[iused2bsomebody]

Just heard and confirmed that Mac Daniels, OM at Clear Channel Austin is out. KASE,KVET,etc.Anybody know the details. I figure he got to that point that a lot of OM get with Clear Channel, making too much money so time to let em go. Am I right or wrong?

His stations and his DJs were just nominated for Station and Personality of the Year by the Country Music Association. He's at the top of his game right now. He can go anywhere or do anything he wants. There are a lot of openings in way bigger markets.

Nobody seems to know why this happened. Everybody at CC is tight-lipped. Was it just a budgetary thing? Or, something else?

Mac is a great PD and OM. I have known him since he was a 21 year old jock at KPLX in Dallas in the early 80s and I was consulting the station. I later hired him as the Music Director and then PD/OM at WMZQ in DC where he was extremely successful. Too bad this happened at such a great moment in his career having guided KASE and KVET to such a high point. There should be a rush to his door by people needing someone of his calibre. He knows the business and is one of the most highly respected programmers in Country Music and among the Nashville insiders.

Sorry, Charlie. Working WITH somebody is far different than working FOR somebody. There are those at CC-Austin who do not share your opinion that Mac walks on water.

Mac was a jerk. I'm really shocked that he came back to Austin the second time.

Maybe they can bring back Michael Cruise.

Now that was talent and leadership.

How about Mike Carta? He can do the imaging, too.

 

[austingeezer]

How about Sammy Allred? Sammy always said he knew more than any PD he ever worked for.

 

[fredcantu]

Maybe Bob Cole wants the job back. I believe he used to be their General Operations Director, or G.O.D.

;D Now this thread is hilarious

HA!

This dude suffered from hubris and got caught.

He never did anything bad to me when I was at the Death Star, but I saw the way he treated other people. I imagine he'll land at another job in no time. But hopefully he'll uh....behave.
