Sad day...

[bigbenny955]

Myself, along with some other great folks were let go today at I-25 and Jefferson. The economy is to blame. I still love you, and I WILL be back on air soon here in ABQ. BTW, any body need to hire a fat Mexican DJ/Stand Up Comic? LOL! Peace!

Big Benny..best of luck in the coming months..and I have no doubt you will be back on the air here. It is always a sad day when one is let go..especially through no fault of your own. You are a positive force in local broadcasting on-air, and on this board.

Benny, you are a class act... on the air and off. Sometimes things just don't work out in a fair way. Who else took a hit today?

God Bless and Take Care Big Ben....You are A Good Guy, a Family Man and Talented. You will Land on your Feet.

Good Luck

Thanks Double C. I consider you a good friend and someone who taught me the ins and outs of Arbitron #'s (and why they never seem to work the right way! LOL!) and a true mentor.

So sorry to hear about the continued loss of gigs in my favorite radio town in the USA. I was a Rock 108 morning guy in the early 80's. Anyone around from those days? Is Dick Knifing still on in town as a news anchor? Peace, Lenny Bloch

 

[DoubleC]

Dick is on KRQE CH 13 The #1 News Station in Town
