From Tennessee Cowboy:
"Contempt for both owners considering the number of people who've been screwed over already. The rest of this stuff is below the belt."
What owners, CB? Who has been screwed by whom? Rest of what stuff?
I usually agree with most of what you way, but this posting is extremely unclear, as it doesn't seem to fit into the context of the thread. Help!
Know whut I mean, Vern?
Fair enough Bopper. Let's see if there's some clarity in a Sunday morning (not alcohol-fueled) response. And this is from a guy who is neither jock or suit. And English is something you put on a cue ball.
Citadel has burned plenty of people. Mostly it's the random-empty-suit type of burn. Some weasel wants to put a few extra dollars in his pocket so he draws a line and fires everybody above that line. The dumping of Ed Brantley illustrates this. That was like trashing a vintage Bentley because the ash trays got full. Guys like us are screwed because we're on the wrong side of the line or have worthless Citadel stock in our 401k's.
Pirkle not so much, but some. Most of the people he burned were decades ago. And he confined most of it to other suits. Now that the dust has settled, he gave Citadel corporate what they were asking for. If you weren't a suit and didn't burn a bridge, JP would usually come back to you and give you a shot at getting what you were owed. If it's true that 100.3 will be entirely Ed's bat, ball, and butt, then it should be a good place to work.
I agree with Walker on the rest. How would any of us like to be twenty-something again and read cheap shots about ourselves on one of these threads? Most of us here are anonymous and therefore ten feet tall and bulletproof. Heather is none of these. Same with the other people mentioned on the other threads. But, if Heather ever did one of us wrong and this is the best way to tell her that, more power to you, I guess.
Yes, Bopper, this is off the thread topic. My bad for venting it here. I'm figuring it's the only way I will be able to say what I want to say to the people I want to say it to. I got to tell JP what I wanted to say years ago. Aside from some concern that it was going to start back up again with new people, Johnny doesn't deserve all of the crap I slung at him the last few weeks here. If I ever see him again he'll have is chance to singe my eyebrows back and we'll be even. I'll even be glad to post it here if he wants it.
Returning to the original point of this thread:
Journal has most of the young listeners. They can either go harder in that direction or take one of the lower-earning stations and put Oldies on it. If Pirkle Jr. takes back 94.3, maybe they can put that format on it. If there's more money in Oldies for somebody else then the format won't sit on the shelf long.
