Phil and Brent out at KMOD Tulsa
- Thread starter Glenn Quagmire
- Start date
What happened to the girl on the show? I think her name is Mary.
Phil and Brent have been a part of my morning for several years!! Sad to see them replaced by the idiots on the Mad Morning Show, or whaterver it's called! KMOD has been deleted as one of my presets on my radio! Good Luck Phil and Brent, hope to hear you soon somewhere else besides Clear Channel!!
Brett Thompson and Mary Moore, both of the Phil and Brent show, are no longer employed by KMOD or Clear Channel.
Phil and Brent never left under their own free will. They were forced out. If they weren't forced out Mary and Brett would still be employed by Clear Channel in some capacity.

Well jeez, that sucks for me Glenn!! What a difficult way for me to find out I was no longer employed at CC Tulsa! On a radio message board... while sitting in my office... at CC Tulsa... while still being the Production Director here... in my office... at CC Tulsa. The rumors of my demise are greatly exaggerated! But it has been fun watching you guys get this all figured out. FYI... Mary says hi... from the production room... here at CC Tulsa... down the hall... from my office... here... at CC Tulsa.
Brett, good to hear you and Mary survived, my apologies for your untimely demise. I should have tempered my words on that last post a little better.
Your Twitter handle change, combined with the loss of Phil and Brent, yours and Mary's bios being removed from KMOD's website and no word from you or Mary as to what happened, pushed some of us including me over the edge.
I hope your career in radio continues for as long as you want it to!
I have since learned there's more to the Phil and Brent story than meets the eye. I won't get into the details.
I will say KMOD/Clear Channel blew this PR wise. They earned themselves a lot of negative publicity with 5:30pm on a Friday announcement that Phil and Brent were done forever, the awkward BMMS announcement, and a lot of angry/confused listeners. Knowing what I do now, they didn't have to. This could've been handled better and they would have saved themselves a lot of unnecessary grief.
Let's face it, this is 2012, people have Google. People outside of radio know Clear Channel for better or worse has let established talent in markets go all over the country at the drop of a hat. Phil and Brent are established talents, and after 27 years they just vanish with a suspect explanation. That's going to breed suspicion, mistrust, etc... among your listeners and radio insiders. Clear Channel doesn't exactly have a stellar rep in this dept.
KMOD has a strong competitor who is trying to capitalize on that in part with a re-branded radio station launching in 10 minutes on 103.3 FM.
I wish everyone connected to this whole thing the best.

New morning show is terrible!!!
Yup. Corbin has been promoted to the level now where his incompetency shows. The only thing funny about Corbin is watching how poorly he'll do in this role .
.mornings at 92.1 now syndicated. Bobby Bones, via KHFI Austin.
What Clear Channel syndicates it appears to give back in local programming as 106.1 the Twister has debuted a new local morning show called Bud and Broadway. They are from Dothan, AL. Welcome to Tulsa guys and good luck!
Mary Moore announced via her Twitter today she has resigned from Clear Channel. Looks like she's going to work for the Tulsa Oilers minor league hockey team in some capacity.
I saw the same thing. Thought that was crazy that they brought that truck out. Those guys should get combat pay for having to answer questions all night about P&B from drunk people. Minutes later, I saw the new Rock truck at Oktoberfest. Then I met Billy Madison. Nice guy and very humble.
