The Bone and Galaxy

He was NEVER fired. He Quit.

FACT: From what I hear BIG STEW was a kind hearted fellow who never had it in him to tell a employee that they get paid to be to work on time. I bet what happened is STEW wanted to give that person a shot at keeping his dignity and allowed him to quit. If that were me I would have fired him long before that.
A lazy person never makes for good radio.

Calling someone a ------ on the radio isn't a violation....Free Beer and Hot wings use the word a dozen times each hour.

FACT: Not so quick little one...That's not the word I heard he used. Bad people get repermanded for saying bad things on the radio. He knows what he did and that's all that matters.

The JR Show was never intended for mornings. The show is an afternoon show. Levine was an idiot for putting him in mornings.

FACT:I've been following JR since the day he went off the deep end at Clear Channel. Funny enough that was the last time he ever pulled ratings. No...wait I stand corrected. JR was #1 men 18-24 in Albany County for one book when he was at Galaxy. The man was getting paid an awful lot to give one good book. Just calling it like it is. Mornings, Nights, broadcasting from the top of the EGG in downtown Albany. It didn't matter. JR was washed up!

And I haven't even mentioned that morning guy of yours...what's his name??

FACT: I wanted to beat you to the punch. That seems to be the only thing anyone has to say about The Bone these day's. "FISH Sucks" I say look at your alternitives. Morning radio in the Capital Region Sucks.

I've got my suit picked out for the Bone's funeral. I look good too. I look damned good!!!

FACT:It's pathetic to be that person who wait's for a friend their mad at to die. Does the suit still fit?
You seem like that person who dresses down often. Way down! :D :D

The Bone is so inefficient that they continue to show in a big way on the Miller Kaplan reports. I hope they keep taking local dollars away from the wanna be stations in the market.

Run...Run...Find out what a Miller Kaplan report is. :D

When you are "great" enough to pull a .6, it is easy to secure local buys because you do not have to worry about those "pesky" agency buys filling up your inventory.
 
Let's give a big hand to Jaques...He has graduated radio sales 101!

A stations bread and butter is local business.

All this talk has finally paid off ;)

Hat's off to Clear Channel,Regent,Albany Broadcasting, and Galaxy for getting those local $$$

That's where it's at baby!
 
Let's have a round of applause for YouThink for teaching us the valuable lesson of "Mouthing Off" on the message boards, instead of concentrating on that all so important sales job at Galaxy.

I also wish to congratulate Fish on his BIG morning promotion as well!!!!

The Bone is dead....Long live the Bone.

Right.....Neither Fish nor Melissa seem to have been on for the last couple of days. Plus, I see Fish is now listed as a weekender on the website...hmmmm.....
 
Okay, try this

Ummm, I am sorry the tone of my post flew way over your head. Let me try again. When you do not even have 1 point 12+, your only hope is local money. When your station is failing book after book, your lower ad rates will be attractive to local business people who do not understand the VALUE of what they are buying. They spend $20 per spot on a .6, but cannot afford $100 per spot on a 5.6. What? But that is what the little guys do. They try and make it look like we are all operating on the same plane, and we are not. The sad part is some business people believe we are, and get accustomed to cheap rates for crap radio. This is why the small and weak get lots of local business. They rely on it more. Miller-Kaplan baby!!!!

Let me make it easy for you...In order for you to get paid the $6.75 you are worth as a jock on a station that has the life expectancy of a bug the sales department needs find the money any place they can. This is the basics of running a business. Without cash flow you have nothing! Lots of local business is better than none. Keep trying to figure it out.

Right.....Neither Fish nor Melissa seem to have been on for the last couple of days. Plus, I see Fish is now listed as a weekender on the website...hmmmm.....

I bet I know why he is no longer on Morning's...Maby he was late one to many times and was fired. Oh wait i'm sorry he quit when repermanded.

I'm sorry if I offended you with common radio know how. My deepest apology. Someone seems to have a loss of memory. I never said I was a past or present employee of Galaxy. What I said was the people who are left at Galaxy seem to be working their A**** off. From what I hear Levine is not an easy guy to work for. Good job Bone crew. Besides a salesmans job sucks and I would never! :D :D :D
 
learn how to use the quote html text properly, youthink.

levine is paying $6.75 to his employees??? that's sad...i know a different radio company that's paying their employees $7+/hr. that's what you get when your sales deapartment isn't picking up the slack, they're just there to get their money and say 'screw you' to everyone else.

fish is still there, he's just a weekender....lol serves him right for trying to be a big shot.

i don't think you said that people that left galaxy as working their a***** off in a long past post, but thanks for making yourself clear. maybe you should look at your old post.
 
Forgive me for i'm human...Human error sucks huh?

Sounds to like you may dating someone in the business. The knowledge is outstanding!

Please! I know what Levine is paying his employees...I said that I'm friends with the people left at The
Bone. It does suck when the sales department or sales manager is in this business for themselves. I bet that's why Levine sent the last Sales Manager who did that to his staff to ABC. They seem to take out the garbage for Levine alot.

Easy...young lady...It seems you have a problem with the Sales Department at The Bone. Now what have they ever done to you? I wouldn't know...Most of the people I know in this business are in the programming end of things. The things I know about sales anyone with radio knowledge would know.

You Hate "Fish"... They say that "Most hatred comes from Jeaousy". I say that he needed work but at least you can understand the words coming out of his mouth. Actually I think most of the words coming out of his mouth were kind words as well. His age explains his stupidity...At least he has an excuse.

Again...human error.Sooooooooooo Sorry. I did say that they work A**** off. Early November. Take a look.

Thanks for the post sweetheart :-*
 
They don't have a choice to NOT work their asses off....there's a helluva mess to deal with over there. The ship (dingy) is sinking FAST and there are only a few fingers to stuff the dykes with.
As for hatred for the peeps over at Starfleet, there is no beef's with anyone who doesn't deserve it.
I would really love to know what your beef is tho...for someone who has never worked alongside of the "former employers" you really have a high hard one...LOL

Seriously, Don't talk outta school if you never attended one in the first place.

We appreciate your thoughts tho....It's nice to know there are people like you who are constantly thinking and obsessing about us and can't get enough.
We Love you!!!! ;D ;D ;D

P.S. If all you can come up with is mush mouth comments, you need to find a new act.
 
Interestingly as another poster pointed out, The Bone seems to have become completely automated once again. It is music/liners/commercials and Alice Cooper.

i would look into your facts before spouting off on the board, because it seems that you've been given information by word of mouth. if so, i would take a long look at your source or sources, may not be reilable. people can say things about ex-employees to make them look bad. happens everywhere.

i wouldn't assume that i'm dating someone in the bussniess nor that i'm a young lady. i said i know someone, that's different than dating.

no, that's a general consensus about most sale staff in this business from what i'm told.

hate? no, hate just a word that is over used. jealousy? why would i be jealous? i would never leave a job that's paying me 5+ figures, has great health insurance and 401k. hahahahaha....

i don't understand about your comment, "understand[ing] the words coming out of his mouth."

true about age and stupidity....it is a proven fact that men don't grow up until they reach the 40 age mark.
 
It seems the fun is over...

A few last words from someone who has also managed to give a couple of "PEEPS" on the info board a "high hard one".

I will tell you what my problem is with the former employees. Every single one of them b**** about how bad it was a Galaxy. If they just busted their a**** when they were employed at Galaxy "The Bone" may be large and in charge at this point.

Save the Levine bashing...It's very, very old! We all know he's not fun to work for but if the ratings were there he has been known to sing a different tune.

Oh yeah...If you don't know me don't make judgement about my education! I speak the facts. Everything I've said is based on the truth! Find some facts about me and have at it...until then keep your ignorance to yourself.

It's not an obsession. My "PEEPS" still employeed at The Bone deserve a round not a knock down. Remember some of them could be friend's. None of them deserve it! This all started with mush mouth comments about the Bone. I was defending friend's and that's never an act!

Four year's without sinking! I think that say's something. Keep listening to find out what they do next. Who know's they may decide to go "New Rock". Ha Ha Ha Ha!

I Love you too!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Peace out...I have left the building!
 
"my problem is with the former employees. Every single one of them b**** about how bad it was a Galaxy. If they just busted their a**** when they were employed at Galaxy "The Bone" may be large and in charge at this point."

This is coming from an outsider folks.....

The inside story goes like this....Employee busts ass...becomes more and more involved....begins to work from home in their off hours to please P.D.'s, Sales staff, etc. Becomes a radio hermit, pushes away family, friends and everyione else to be the best employee there. Then Employee gets canned.
Now admittedly it's not always cut and dry, but this happens at EVERY station, not just the boner...

Fact is those "former peeps" were the hardest working people in radio period. To just brush them off without a second thought is disrespectful, and could only come from a thoughtless person....or salesperson. LOL

I defend the TRUTH, especially when someone gets on a radio message board without ever actually WORKING with or KNOWING with these individuals and then slams them becuase their "friends" tell them half baked stories about how they weren't TEAM players.

Fact is, we ALL had a blast working there. Unfortunatly management had other ideas. Your beef isn't with the lazy employees as it is with Management.

So before you try and tell "stories" about other people, it is probably a good idea to get ALL the info first before getting on and pontificating.
