Programming Holocaust

I guess this settles the debate 'sales versus programming'. I haven't read any of the sales departments getting loaded in railcars and sent to the gas chamber. The Radio Natzi's are killing off hundreds of jobs weekly this fall. Has the grim reaper come through DFW yet? Wonder who is here today and gone tomorrow. I suppose they are going to program for a supreme race. Kool-Aid anyone? :mad:

Mother-ship has landed
 
Tell me, Stud. Did you ever sell for a radio station? Quantifying a good programmer, a good announcer from a non-productive talent has always been subjective.

Sorting sales people has been very objective from the very beginning of radio. The accountants give management a list listing of who is selling what. Nothing subjective here. Dollar totals of sales are very easy to evaluate. Sales people have known about being shown the door for decades.

It ain't purty!
 
This brokered time of nothing but financial shows is total crap. I Guess the home shows and the garden shows just don't bring in the bucks.

The only break now from them is the show on Sundays that advertises "The Mommy Makeover".

Sad, truly sad.

1. The analogy is really inappropriate
2. If you are going to do it, at least spell Nazis correctly.

3. Grammer was never one of my strong suits.
4. The context of my note is the mass firing off hundreds of radio professionals is a very sad day/era. I am not in favor of this at whatsoever.
 
Buried deep inside the CC exec's description of the new effort was a comment that they intended to focus on national advertising for their local stations.
If that's what's about to happen, they won't need so many local sales-people.
I think it's stupid, but I like the idea of the major chains walking away from local business, leaving that much more potential business for stations that are actually engaged with their local communities.
