new Buzz PD and Arrow PD - no surprise

P

purplejay

since nobody else has mentioned it. from FMQB:

APD/MD/afternoon host Don Jantzen is officially named PD at Modern Rock KTBZ (94.5 The Buzz)/Houston. Jantzen had been interim PD since Vince Richards segued to Clear Channel-Dallas earlier this year.

Classic Rock KKRW (93.7 The Arrow)/Houston promotes Steve Fixx from APD/MD to PD.
 
Okay, since nobody else will respond to this, I guess I'll man up.

Congrats to Mr. Jantzen. I've always respected you because my friend Z.U. does. Best to you.

To Mr. Fo-fo-fo-Fixx, congratulations on doing the classic rock circuit for life.
 
I had typed a response to this... but seriously... anyone who knows Steve knows he is not me... or is it I am not him? Either way... “Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.”

fixx has better things to do - like anything else.
 
I'm happy for Fixx. He's a good dude, and a hard worker. This is proof that you can work your way from the bottom to the top!

I assume that all of them had probably been "heavy" APD's for the longest time, doing a lot more work than their titles indicated. All the while their supervisors were probably on the golf course, taking company trips & perks, long weekends and getting the big bonuses. * I do not know that for a fact, but I have been in and around the -biz- long enough to know the scenario. Hell, I've been there myself more than once.

I hope that CC was good to those boys at the bank too. It would be just and fitting.

No, you're certainly not the Steve I knew in person. You're the other guy, the one who behaves the way he does under the mantle of Internet anonymity. It happens quite a lot, probably to a lot of people you know. Fancy universities have done studies and all. I'm sure Fo-fo-fo-hye is not the person Roula thought she knew, either, or Wendy, or Dave, or Cody, or any of the other former building departures he's trashed, or before that, the KLOL listeners he's spent his online career viciously abusing. Who would admit to being this poster in real life?

Nevertheless, it's a simple process of elimination. Congrats to Fixx for being the last man standing.

Okay, Zenfight! Actually, my sweetie and I were laughing about this in the garden last week. We probably actually owe you, Fo-fo, a thank you for making everything about my life completely better. Back in 2005, we'd been talking about moving in together sometime in the vague future, but when you posted your attack on me that very first day, he got pissed off and started gathering boxes. He's right, you know. He does make enough money that I never have to work for jerks like you again. So, you really do have my appreciation.

As for holding on to my anger? I'll always be angry that those who settle for PPM's coveted 10th place---behind The Point, for Chrissakes---are the ones who keep following the same stale formula. I confess, it'll always peeve me to no end to see a loyal listener try to ask the pros a legitimate question and get kicked in the teeth for his trouble. Yeah, I guess I'm not finished being angry about that. Nevertheless, how you want to treat your former listeners has a lot to do with the joy I've found in interactive media, so you see? Anybody who knows me---in person, or on the Internet---knows it's a piece of cake for me to turn a frown upside down. But again, thanks for the wise Bhudda thing, it was a cute attempt.
 
Until the dismantling, Peter. Until every other jock in the building was gone.

Congrats to them both.
Wonder who their APD will be (prolly someone who thought they were up to get the PD gig).
 
You mean the book with titled "RIGHT OF THE DIAL: The Rise of Clear Channel and the Fall of Commercial Radio." by Alec Foege that's 294 pages and published by Faber & Faber?

Good book?
 
Best wishes guys. Bitter sweet! Your got it but Uncle Sam may have the last laugh.

For Sale questions loom!
 
That is great for Steve Fixx! ;D I've listened to him for years, even back when he was doing evenings on KLOL. He's a great jock and good guy. I've seen him around town and he is genuinely a nice guy and I'm truly happy for him. Congratulations Steve!!! Good luck with everything over at the Arrow.

Now, rock out the Arrow brother!
