Well, what does tops in your market on Aftn drive get you, a pink slip? Scott Innes will be missed for his on and off air talents in the B.R. community, and wherever he winds up will be gaining a great citizen. Did I hear Clarence Buggs is out too, I guess Glenn Beck will now be on here, like in N.O. I hope 107.3 adds Buggs to thier lineup.

I think it may be time for radio folks to unionize... http://www.aftra.com/home.htm

I'm actually surprised on Scott Innes as everyone is saying, CC said it was cutting talent if they weren't top 3 in the demo at that time, and I figured he should have been top 3 unless they used a very screwy guideline. Espcially since WYNK is actually a station where some air talent is VTed all over the nation as if I remember Scott was doing afternoons in Florida too I thought?

Wonder what will be brought next unless they say VT Eddie up from New Orleans?

But still it's sad to see radio get down to basically being cookie cutter national programming.. wonder when American radio will be just like say Europe where it's the same programming nationwide?

I'm guessing Austin James is out too. Angie B (Not going to butcher her last name) is handling B.R. traffic in aftn drive now.

Can't unionize Radio On-Air Broadcasters....AFTRA won't recognize any group with fewer than 15 members.

Austin James is still in at WYNK , He was doing the shift Eddie Edwards is now doing in NOLA at WNOE also
