STEWART ELLIOT, ONE OF MIAMI'S TOP DOG RADIO PROGRAMMER, AND HIS HAIR...!

The lovely and talented Bill Tanner once told me it's really not what people say about you that should make you worry, it's time to WORRY when people STOP talking about you, and that, ring's soooo true...!

Stewart Elliot, like alot of us has worked at nearly every radio station in Miami at one time or another and some of them twice and you can bet if their was a new frequency about to sign-on, whether AM or FM, or for that fact sign-off, Stewart Elliot was the MAN to throw the switch. Stewart, I'm thinking, has signed on and signed-off more of Miami's radio station's then most of us would use the light-switch in our bathroom's mega-time's during the middle of the night, so with that said, he's flicked a few on, and well, flicked a few off!

Now, Stewart being the trouper that he is, and if you happened to have worked with Stewart he always seemed to be the brunt of numerous joke's and was always being teased about his "hair" although, for a skinny-lanky white boy, it's is true that Stewart had an Afro-American hair-style that made even the South-Florida Miami Afro-American community envious. I am able to put to rest rumor's that Stewart stopped at gas-station's for gas for his car and air-for-his-hair, although there was concern if he didn't quit teasing his hair like that perhaps one day it might turn on-him!

Ok, with all of that said and done and kidding aside here's my take, it really surprises me that Stewart is not programming one or more of Miami's radio station's, lord knows some of Miami's top station's could use his endless knowledge,expertise and talent, I hate it when I see good top radio programmer's sidelined while these seemingly, dim-witted clueless inexperienced wanna-be radio programmer's, who, by the way have shown to have about as much common sense that God gave a Florida-tree-frog, programming South Florida's radio stations... That about sum's it up I think!


Should any one of the many South Florida's radio stations be in need of and experienced radio programmer, perhaps one should look in one's own backyard, Stewart Elliot has my vote!
 
Ummm.....errrrr.....uhhhh..... :-\

How on earth does someone reply to this?? First off, the hair...GONE! I started to de-hair in the late 80's and finally shaved it all off Dec. 1999 Now it's bald jokes <shrug>

Chuck, I really appreciate your kind words. I am gainfully employed in a totally different sector of life. I could walk into my boss and tell him to F**K OFF and i'd be back to work in the morning. Radio doesn't give that luxary! ;D

I am not a programming guru by any means. There are far better out of work programmers than I. I never considered myself as a programmer, but more of a 2nd fiddle. Had I truly considered myself one, I would have never turned down Greg Beasley for the programming position for what has now evolved into Power96. Instead I accepted one night and turned it down the next morning. That is another story already covered on these boards a few years back.

Would I like to have imput at a station? Absolutely. Would I like to be back on the air in South Florida? Honestly, there are times when I would love to but only on a part time scale, but the rules are very different from when I left in Aug.1996 vs how things are done now and that would really play into consideration of any move back on the air.

There is another post from John Jax mentioning me not being on and what it would be like to be on now. I am humbled and flattered that 15 years later my name is one of the ones still mentioned by people in South Florida.

Again I thank you Chuck. Who knows what will happen down the road. I ain't gittin' any younger yanno! ;D

Before the error police get me- I ment Greg Reed of Beasley/Reed. CRS strikes again!

Stuart,
You seem like a MAJIC-102.7 type of guy to me. Do you listen ? I can actually picture you as a DJ on that fine station.

Do I listen to Majic 102.7? Yes. It is my station of choice. It's one of the last un-scripted (as in read the liners and don't sound human), most live stations on the dial. Mindy Lang is good friend of my family and i've hung out from time to time with a few of the others at non radio gatherings.

Majic is the closest to real radio as it gets in the broadcasting industry. That isn't to slight other stations on the dial, it's just Majic is apt to be "Live and Local" around the clock more then the others.

I totally agree with you as far as MAJIC being 'unscripted' and 'live and local'. I'm a new listener of MAJIC this year, and I like what I hear. It reminds me of the way mainstream TOP 40 radio used to sound (back in the 1970s and into the early-to-mid-1980s). MAJIC sounds like Miami from that time period. I feel young listening to MAJIC.
