"How true about the folks at 103. I remember when the entire staff of 96X-WRXQ was let go and none of us received a single call from anyone at 103 and we worked in the same building. I wish them the best, but there is life after radio. "
Actually there were many kind words sent to some of the former employees of 96X - if you were there then you probably know me better as DT the production dude, seeing as how there was already another Zeke employed there. Plus I was the only one kept on, in hind sight I should have bailed with the rest of ya'll.
We knew our days at 96X were numbered, hell EVERYONE in the building knew that, but up until that final day we had fun. I was there for only the final few months of that station, but it was still probably my most fun experiance to date here in Memphis.
That situation was different from what's happened recently - We KNEW it was gonna happen. The folks fired recently did not. It was totally out of the blue. That's what makes it different.
As far as "life after radio", I'm sure there is one ... just not ready to find out for myself.
To those who have joined the recently unemployed, I wish you the best - anything that I can do to help a fellow radio gypsy just ask.
