OK! I've had enough! This is to all you whining little backstabbers that keep posting about how bad Bob sucks. I don't care if you got fired by him, got replaced by him, or got your ass kicked again and again by him, you are all little bitches for not having the guts to put your name where your mouth is!
Let's set the record straight, Bob Mitchell has consistently kicked ass in New Orleans on 3 different stations in morning drive and as a PD longer than most of you have been alive. His stations held consistent ratings, and not one of the stations he used to program has HALF of the ratings he used to garner EVERY BOOK, nor have they been able to in the past 5 years.
Now, as far as his WWL work, it's hard to go from having to be out of a talk break in two minutes, to having to fill three times that right away. I should know, I had to learn to do that when I went from music radio to talk tadio back in 1995. I'm not in New Orleans, but have been monitoring and he is slowly progressing into the position.
Finally, let me piss the rest of you off. Entercom won't get rid of him, and he will get renewed in Jan. He has huge name recall with New Orleans listeners, and is FONDLY remembered by 99% of them. Look at the WWL local lineup, it's all names you know, period! It's not a complaint, just a fact.
Unlike the rest of you, I know of what I speak because I used to work for Mitchell. In fact, I was fired by Mitchell. It's a part of this business, so I took it for what it was, I f'd up, and I paid for it. And those of you that know me, know firing me wasn't an easy thing.
The truth is, I got my first PD gig after that, and my first talk gig. I learned I loved doing talk radio.
Bob took the time to teach me about music, basic programming, and the right and wrong way to stay in this business. I use the stuff he taught me to this very day.
Bottom line, stop hating the player, hate the game that gave him the gig you wanted! If you think you can do better, submit your CD and Resume to Entercom, and let's see how long you wait to get a call. Do me a favor, Hold your breath while waiting!
Seeya,
Cuzz (Yes, that CUZZ!)
