Metro Cuts

[ccuphl]

Westwood One got rid of lots of familiar news and traffic people in Philly today... longtime traffic guy Rod Carson is out along with Deborah Byrne and a bunch of P/T traffic people. Melissa Exelberth, who did PM drive traffic on NJ 101.5 is also out from Metro/NYC.

Anyone know who the part-timers were?

I remember "Walt McDonald.... in the ARCO Go Patrol Tele-copter".

I must really have gotten old. When I think ARCO Go Patrol, the first name coming to mind is, John Carlton.

Just found this post--Rod was one of them involved in starting up the Go Patrol.
