My Memories of WBVP Are Not Good!

We're talking about WBVP a little? That place has left a bad taste in my mouth. A number of years ago I was trying to set up a feed for another station. The girl who I initially talked to was, to say the least, full of herself! She told me I needed to talk to the PD. OK, fine. That guy was one of the biggest prima-donna's I met in the business. Yes, he's still around but not at WBVP. You'll find a website around that elevates that jerk to a level equal to Moses.

WBVP might have better people now, but back then what I encountered were a few jerks and a-- holes!!!!

I think nowadays we've seen a kindler, gentler contingency of on-air people out there. Largely because the prima donnas have been displaced by duopoly and have burned so many bridges that there's not many more places for them to go. So, they've either left the market to go elsewhere, got out of the business altogether, or became consultants.

There's still a few of that generation who think they're God's gift to radio, but they're much more subdued now. The days of the disc jockey have come and gone, and they've been replaced by voice-tracking and announcers with extended duties. Not everyone is willing to wear the many hats needed today. The ones who are, are in the business because they truly want to be there. They're much nicer people, and are pretty talented as well.
