From everything I've heard, Bill Kurtis is a good guy and most everyone likes him. However, he also apparently doesn't plan on bulking up his staff, at least in the short term. It looks like he intends to make his money by running lean operations and selling fewer spots at higher cost.
By the way, Mark, what's the story on KEKS 103.1 in Emporia? Is it still doing CHR? I heard Tallgrass was going to expand the playlist but also cut down on the staff. It seems like it would be pretty difficult to expand a CHR's playlist and still be CHR!
