Mike was the Exec. Prod. for the Bob Rivers Show for nearly a decade...it's long been rumored that some heads would roll at CBS..as they employ 7 or 8 people on the show...I sure didn't think it would be him tho. Congratulations on a job well done Mike..and best of luck in the future.

A real pro -That's horrible!Let's just hope and pray no 'suits' were harmed,they really are the backbone of great radio
It was a Bob Rivers move, his people are seperate under his deal.
Schmoozer: On 12/18/08 you wrote,
"Bob Rivers staff are not paid by Rivers salary. They are however guaranteed in his contract. Under these conditions, one would think that Rivers might take a look at what's happening around him and give up some of his expenses for the sake of the company he works for. Being #1 doesn't mean a whole lot if the station that's supporting and showcasing you is going down down down. That station may be a top station, but what's it all mean if they can't stay afloat? "
Looks like you got your wish.

Jupiter2, That was more of an observation, not a wish. That is so cool that someone is actually paying attention to what I say on this board. I didn't think anyone gave a #&*^%)$!
For the record, I am very sad to see Mike Jones out. It's a tough time for everyone. We are all feeling it.

This news is TRULY a shame. It was epically horrible when let Steve Slaton go. Absolutely unbelievable. At that point, I knew that the station was doomed. And now, Mike Jones?? How could they do that?! I have listened a few times and the shows has really suffered since he's been gone. This is an unbelievably HUGE loss for KZOK. I can't even listen to my P1 station anymore. BOOOOO!!!!!!!
LaMariposaSocial is RITE ON. Congratulations on your first post! The Rivers show sucks with only 7 people!!! How can they cut back when everyone else is EXPANDING?????!!!!
Oh yeah, Welcome to the board, Mike.
Serious note: Everyone who knows Producers knows Mike is top notch and should be hired ASAP. Someone is going to get one of the best seasoned pros with experience and on air chops.

Jeez! My fingers have been hitting buttons since Steve left and now Mike??? I met Steve in 91' at the fair and was glued there until just recently. My best to Mike, a true professional! I certainly hope to hear Steve's voice soon on the airwaves and Mike I know will fair as well. Until then, let us continue to ROCK!!!! PEACE!

Re: Mike Jones IS out at KZOK
Mike is a class act and top-notch producer, not to mention one hell of a good guy. He'll be sorely missed at KZOK. Being a producer can be a pretty thankless job but Mike handled it as well as anyone could.
