Unfortunately, this IS the shape of things to come. This is what happens when a group of know-it-alls have a plan to take over a station and it blows up in their face. NOT one person is better off today than they were 5 months ago.
People are making less money, looking for other jobs and pointing fingers at the group who has put the stations future and everyone else’s job in jeopardy. Do you think it’s a coincidence Jim Martin has deliberately chosen NOT to promote from within?
720’s local programming has been gutted and Magic 98 is next. WCOH will be sold-off.
It took years to build a local reputation in the market and it will take the flip of a switch to destroy it as CC looks at the cheapest way to run the stations out of Columbus.
What were some of these people thinking…?
