Out on the Cape

Quantum/Cape Cod get hit by budget cuts, as CHR/P WRZE ( 96.3 The Rose )PD/afternoon host David Duran is out.
Classic Hits WCIB ( Cool 102 ) Morning personality Larry Egan is out .
 
I just heard......sorry to hear about that. I don't know David, but I worked for/with Larry for 4 years and he's a great guy.

Also, rumblings have made it to Myrtle Beach that some programming shuffling is about to occur at Qantum/Cape Cod. I hope folks like Dan Mahoney, Stephanie Viva, Kevin Matthews and others will be OK. Keeping my fingers crossed.
 
Sad to hear about Dave - he's a good guy and I wish him well. Sad for the others too. Looks like Steve McVie will have his hands full picking up the slack... Hope Kevin Matthews dodges the bullet as well - he sounded great in his RZE days and then at ERZ (nice juxtaposition of letters). The economy's never good on the Cape in the winter but it's been particularly hard hit this year. Not a good day to be at a Cumulus station, either!
 
all this layoff news feels a bit more bitter when it hits close, as I am family with David, I am sure he will find work soon as he is a wonderful radio man! hope everyone on the cape who may get cut and the people who did find jobs soon!
 
Boy, I really feel bad for Larry Egan. Isn't this the second time he's been fired from the same position at Qantum? Wow, what a slap in the face! As for Dave, he was the only PD there with a clue. Hey- anyone hear any rumblings about EEI coming to Qantum? Perhaps that is the reason for the 'budget buts'???
 
I always felt sorry for David. He did his best to make his station sound bigger than the market inspite of being forced to deal with his unbelievably weak-sounding OM in the Midday slot. And now the weak-sounding Midday guy will be heard for 6 hours everyday...wow. What the hell is Quantum's infactuation with this guy???
 
Yhea Lance - that is the burning question in the industry.....so it looks like The Rose is indeed flipping to EEI soon. Question is where Dan & Steph will land....On WCOD or Cool 102? Any bets? ??? ???
 
Well....contrary to some of the posts, Kevin on WCOD is very average. When was the last time he said or did anything that created a buzz or generated some talk amongst the listeners? Same goes for Dan and Steph. They both just go through the motions of doing a morning "show", just like Quantum goes through the motions of being an ownership.

Dan and Steph to WCOD mornings, Kevin goes to mornings on Cool where he can continue to do lame-ass trivia contests for hours on-end, and he can continue to be background noise during the morning.

Quantum seems to be intent on keeping all of the jocks that make their properties sound smaller than the market they are in, ie McVie, Kevin, Dan and Steph. Just because you are in a small market doesn't mean you have to act and sound like it.
 
Not likely, since I'm using a friend's log-in, but nice try.

Perhaps you should spend less time on this site and more time prepping a show. I'm not hearing any effort, passion, or investment when I tune in to your airshift, or your radio station for that matter. I'm not putting all of the blame on you....your cluster lacks leadership, direction, and vision, but you can still have some pride in your daypart.

When is Quantum going to finally wise-up and hire a consultant to undo the mess caused by their serious lack of in-house management?

Nice..."I'm using a friend's log-in"...they've only posted once since their profile has 3 total posts...and you've posted TWO of them on this thread alone!?!

Do you smell what I smell? Sour grapes?
 
The lack of creativity and product is caused by one reason...the lack of willingness to spend money on individuals who can bring just that.

If you keep pulling parts from a cars engine, its gonna fail.
 
in many cases, a consultant is an insultant. they are not always the answer.

in any business, your profit margin depends on how much you've invested in your people, who can then service your customers, who will then tell more people about you, and then you begin to see the profit.
