SCOTTO OUT - DONOVAN IN

We love you JACKIE! You are the Sarah Palin of Radio!
Peeps, today jackie gave Mark Williams his walking papers!
(Of course, he's trying to SPIN it!)
Thank You Jackie!

AND THERE ARE "MORE TO FOLLOW"
 
well surprise Jackie is def not programming dir. its cause the website is garbage and never gets updated. Unless there is just dead air from 530 to 6.
 
Tom Rigatti is WROW's Program and News Director, Jackie is second chair and producer of the morning show, she reports to Tom who in turn reports to an Operations Manager.

In general, neither program directors or producers make decisions in today's radio enviornment. Those decisions are dictated to the individual managers from a higher level. At Clear Chanel that means John Hogan, at Pamal Broadcasting that means Jim Morell. It seems that after just short of one year following the flip of WROW from infomercials to news talk that there is yet another change of direction in the wind.

The WROW web site is not a reliable source for information on anything, especially the radio station itself. Given the huge volume of out of date and incorrect information on the site, it appears that the site is updated only as an after thought and only after some time has passed.
 
Additional note: That both Miller and Williams reportedly left on their own, within similar time frames and in conjunction with a nearly 100% change in upper management and account executives indicates that there may be built in "issues" within the building.
 
To Johnny: Jackie is NO Sarah Palin. Not even close. The morning show is a disaster. The news department is clueless except for when they read verbatim from Capital News 9's website. (Follow along the screen!)

To Parts and Labor: Jackie IS program director. She calls the shots.

To MT1: Tom Rigatti is this far away from being sent up north after a few stunts he pulled. Jim Morell stays out of station operations unless something KOOKIE happens.

Miller left on his own, and it wasn't "reportedly" it was actually, really, truthfully.

Williams was bounced, no matter what he claims on his website.

Otherwise, it's one day after another on Johnson Road.
 
This week should be lots of fun at 590. Jackie Donovan may be moving over to one of Morrell's car dealerships for some live broadcasts. My peeps tell me they're working on a contest involving buying a Suzuki which qualifies you to win a chance to co-host the WROW afternoon show for a week.
 
well my sources tell me they are having a contest where you can be on first rocket to mars with Steve Vanzant.
 
NEW INTEL - Jackie Donovan relieved of her responsibility as PD over the weekend - said she needed to focus on the morning show - Morell imported talent from WUPE radio in the berkshires - Buzz buzz sez Tom Rigatti is next to go bye bye - let the countdown begin!
