So....WABB needs ANOTHER PD?!?!

What is going on over there? They can't seem to keep anyone around. For the uninformed, PD Zac Davis resigned to go back to school. What the hell?

Jeez, is Dittman 3.0 THAT bad? I don't know if ANYONE has ever been PD of WABB and walked......completely out of radio. Weird? anyone got any insight?
 
When did this happen. I heard him on the radio like an hour ago.

Is this a joke/rumor.

Bet hes not going anywhere.
 
His last day is (correct me if I'm wrong guys) the 21st??

It was on All Access yesterday.
 
I am not in the market, but used to be and keep up...A record rep told me today that walking into ABB is like walking into a morgue...No receptionist, no one seems happy...Maybe Betsy would be happy if Leslie Framm came back...otherwise, I hear it is real difficult to be a PD there...ask Jammer...Had numbers, but left for a Rockford gig??? Hmmm...something ain't right...I hate to see a Heritage station have problems...Mr. D must be rollin' over...Good luck to the NEW PD!
 
So whatever Zac Davis was trying to revamp WABB, it's going to be interesting to me to see what the new PD is going to do. Is he/she going to do similar things or have a whole new thing for the future for WABB.
 
Zac was a PD in title - things are still going to move in the same direction because he wasn't necessarily the one calling the shots

I would think that this says it all, huh? Who is calling the shots? Betsy? Is she just calling Leslie for advice or what? I can't imagine that would be the case since Leslie actually knows how to program that radio station and operate it succesfully. So who's Betsy getting her ideas from? Who's consulting them? Anyone?

I just can't fathom how she doesn't understand what a HORRIBLE reputation she's giving the once mighty WABB. I know some good people looking for work (who are more than good fits for this station/market) who wouldn't touch the gig based solely on the stories floating around the industry.

And just what will happen when 100.7 becomes Movin 100.7 or some variation and actually fields a competitive morning show? I hear they're gearing up for another run at WABB. Another WABB/Cumulus war....could this be Gary Pizatti's chance to finally beat the Dittmans? They look REALLY ripe for the sniping right now.
 
Betsy is dating the consultant...tells you something huh...

Unfortunately I think this does line up a good shot for Gary to run at them. I hate this not because I'm a fan of ABB...I don't really care one way or the other. [EDIT]
But Gary Pizzati is an evil, evil man that spews forth venom from his sinister black heart. I hate to see this ass win.

[EDIT]


Anyway, yeah, Betsy is sure screwing things up over there.

Wouldn't be smarter if WABB gets bought from a different radio company? To me, that would make since. Why don't Cumulus buy them?

Wow :D

That's harsh, dude.
 
It's true...the "tiger" as he likes to call himself is the definition malevolent corporate evil. He should be sterilized so as not to spread his evil seed.
 
last time i heard a station manager called "evil corporate bloodsucker" was because the guy was all about the station making a profit!!! (gasp shudder gasp).

did he not let you play "rock lobster" every night at 11 to tell your girlfriend a special goodnight??
 
No what this station needs is a live internet stream. I'm surprised that Zac is out as he was a very nice guy and got back to me at least once about something I asked about there. Whoever the new PD is everyone here tell him or her to stream WABB! They told me months ago that it was coming but it's still not here. :(

It was tried, when Mr. Dittman was still alive. The attempt failed and the result was Cumulus launched HOT 104.
