Tad Bonvie career?

Hey, Where did Tad Bonvie work in radio. I know he worked at Mix 98.5 the last few years, before that Kiss 108, Greg Daniels said tad has been in boston for 25 years, was he at Kiss 108 all those years. How long at Mix? Just curious? Hope Lady D or Frankie Foxx get the night show. Maybe they will be both on nights, that would be cool, they have great radio chemistry.
 
My memory could be wrong (if so, someone please correct me), but I believe Tad worked at WILD for some time before making the move over to Kiss. He was MD and weekend/fill-in at Kiss 108 until 1996. Shortly thereafter, he made the move over to Mix weekends. From there he moved up to nights (forget exactly when that happened).

Making accusations about other broadcasters

<font color="red">[EDIT]</font>

I hope you got someting to back that accusation up with? Otherwise, it sounds to me like you are spreading false rumors.

And no, the "it's common knowledge" answer is not good enough here...<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by cabradio on 06/30/05 06:37 PM.</FONT></P>

I trust my source. That said, I present my statement as fact. Whether or not you choose to believe it is up to you.<P ID="signature">______________

Re: Making accusations about other broadcasters

You have to present something more substantial here than just "I trust my source".

Sorry, but I'm not putting up with B.S. There may have been valid reasons for what happened...your source could have a personality conflict with the said jock...blah, blah, blah....

I'm ALL for constructive criticism. If you don't like a jock's performance, by all means state your reasons. Discussing a jocks work history, beyond what stations they worked at, is rocky territory. I won't permit unsubstantiated remarks to be left as facts. You HAVE to back up your "facts" with references, or sources that are checkable.

Look at it this way...

YOU leave your position (whatever industry you work in) to persue another job. On a message board, a former co-employee that didn't like you posts that you were fired. Your new potential employer does a Google search on you, to find references, etc. Or maybe your name randomly comes up with some other search by accident, because your name is on a page with the search results...believe me, that scenerio may have been a stretch 2 years ago, but no more...Anyway, he (potential employer) finds the message your disenchanted former co-worker posted. Now, the potential employer may ask you what happened, and ask why some one else says your fired...you say, we didn't get along...now he asks why you didn't get along...etc etc...and so you don't get the job, because of this "baggage". And it's all because of a lie on a message board.

Look, some of you may think this is far fetched, but in THIS industry, stranger things have happened. So <font color="red">IN ALL FAIRNESS</font>, unless you post your proof with your "gossip", leave it off.

Those who have read my previous posts know how I feel about jocks. I think it's a shame the way that corporate types sometimes treat them. I've posted several times about how Entercom has done a disservice to the community that they serve with their public license by cutting jobs. That's one example of how I feel about those who wrong those merely out to earn an honest paycheck.

That said, respect is a two-way street. When I hear of a jock engaging in such unscrupulous behavior, I'm compelled to say something. People who do such things prevent air talent as a whole from being taken as seriously as they should. I hate to see that happen.

That's all I have to say on this matter. See you on the next thread.

The true story!

The real deal D is this:

She was offered and accepted the gig at Star.
Yes, she was working a weekend shift at Mix.
However, days prior to that weekend shift, once she took the Star offer, she met with Gregg Strassel, to let him know.
Gregg, wished her the best, said too bad he nothing for her, at the time, full time. They thanked each other for opportunity to work together.
And they both parted ways on good terms.
Strassel would later tell others that he wished he had had something more permenant.
The weekend shift you talk about was covered well in advance.

If you're in the know with Greg Strasell, why did you misspell his name?<P ID="signature">______________

Didn't 'say' that I "knew" him, just quoted him as a source of the info and facts.
But if you must ask, I always get his last name spelling wrong. I didn't have an old company directory or memo handy.
Point of post was to get the facts right.

Out!
