Michael Martin could be AXED over Doghouse suit

I hate to wish negativity on people, but this clown deserves it. He terminated the Dog House because they weren't going to re-sign. He stole the Dog House Comedy Jam idea and still ran with it. He bullies people (See:Strawberry, St. John also). It would only be justice this guy is out of a job...
 
They (Mr. Martin) Fired the DogHouse bacause of a suposid sexual harrasment complaint. They (clear Channle) also claim that some stunts done were in poor taist and didn't portray the company good. (BTW the Doghouse were not gonna re-sign at the end of the year) From my understanding the whole case is bunk. The sexual harrasment claim has been tossed because noone will testify on it. Then ClearChannle Hired the guy who made up the "KAtrina song" throwing the bad taist idea out. The doghouse are seeking the remainder of their income from 4/05 to 12/05 along with damages for "Blacklisting" the show (JV in particular). I saw that the settlement will be in the million + range.
 
if CC loses and the settlement is in the million $ plus range, then I can see that as good a reason as any to move Martin out. In any corporation, whenever one of these cases goes down such as this, then it is expected that some one has will be held accountable and I think we see who that "someone" will be.
 
or could it? all i know is dog house should be syndicated back out to SF as a morning show
 
Gee...who do you root for between Michael Martin and The Doghouse? Having worked with both, I can't choose a side. The doghouse must have something to offer for someone...But they were horrible to work with. All Drama ALL the time.

As for MM...You gotta wonder. He hasn't done much good for CC in the last, oh, five years.

Doesn't mean the PD is responsible for the numbers. Could be many factors at this stage of the game.

James Baker’s story is actually a sad one. The guy finally gets the chance to program in his home town after being passed over time and again and "poof" it's over. I do know this, Baker was a hard working guy when he was at KBIG, and I'll bet he put in 110% at 101.3. Knowing CC, it was purely an economic move. Did he do any worse than his predecessor? Wasn’t that Michael Martin?
 
he did a bad thing in changing back to the worse VO guy for star, man they can't keep a VO guy
 
Bet on the Baker cut being for $$. How many PDs has Star had since Don Bleu has been doing mornings, something like 27 in 26 years??
