San Diego CCU makes cut backs

S

SDRadio

At least five folks in the accounting and office area were "shown the door" today. :'(
 
email (not private message), Scott.
 
When you say office area... What does that mean? The whole building has office areas. What departments other than accounting?
 
won some aztec basketball tickets went to the cc offices to pick them up and it was like a ghoast town no peeps around except the intern at the front desk giving out tickets and answering the phone a lot of radio station relics in the back parking lot from better days sad times :mad:
 
That's really pathetic when a huge empire like Clear Channel needs interns to cover the front desk because they've cut back so much.
 
Covering the phones is the least of what interns are doing for CC. CC/SD has a long record of giving the receptionist an airshift, and anyone with a pulse gets to run the board, run promotions depts, etc. If San Antonio ever got wind of what interns are capable of in SD, they'd blow out all of the PD's and put them in charge of programming. Honestly, I don't know if it would be noticeable.
 
Why would anyone bother interning at a radio station these other than to learn that their degree in communications was a real waste of time?

Yep, instead of hiring experienced "talent," the ones that are hired are all board ops, receptionists, interns, traffic reporters, nobody with news experience and suddenly they are bestowed the "big star status." At least in their minds in most cases. Just misrepresenting what a true news outlet should be. What a waste of a frequency and local talented folks that live in San Diego. Who's the PD? Oh, right.
