Tom Davis Former General Manager Beasley Broadcasting Checing In

Well it has certenly been a while since I have posted on this forum. As a matter of fact I can remember sitting in my cushy office on East Tropicana, bossing my sales slaves around while I responded to the erotic section of craigslist. Those were the good old days. I still keep in touch with the former General Manager of Beasley, Harry Williams. He is doing well. After graduating from the Bancock School of Cooking, he packed his family, and headed out to NY. He now operates a chain of Hot Dog Trucks. He claims that Life is good. As for me, I got burned out of the radio business. I felt a calling to work with retarded children. So today I' am writing from the Tom Davis Foundation for retarded kids. We are located in Pahrump, NV. My family took the transition pretty well. They have supported me from the times I used to kiss Harry Williams ass all the way through the peak of my career when I took pictures of Harry playing Mario Brothers in his office and sent them to the Beasleys. It was then that my check went from $5,000 every two weeks to $15,000 every two weeks.

I will be sure to check back in. To all my old Sales Slaves...keep in touch. It would be nice to hear from you all.

And to all of the Over Paid and No talented Jocks (Mike Obrian) it would be nice to hear from you as well.

haha. ah. yes.

not that i condone this type of sh*t-talk on the board, but i would imagine that someone along these lines would have to be in charge of the beasley cluster...as it is, a certain pd i spoke to there (coughfreshcough) had a holier than thou attitude for a station that is bombing...so again i wouldn't be shocked.
 
Hey Tom.. Nice to hear things are working out for you! You didn't mention how the harrassment lawsuits turned out, are Christina, Mandy or Allison working with you in Pahrump?

The "slaves" you mentioned, I've heard, have flown the coop. The new guy couldn't bring himself around to paying a 10-12 grand a month draw for sales people that weren't selling anything. Can't really blame him for that I guess. Your pal Patty hit the road too.

How's you and Harry's buddy Large Kahnua? Heard He's making a name for himself selling used cars now in Vegas. Maybe you could use a guy like O'brian over there in Pahrump?

I hope your new career path gives you even more time to spend driving your kid around to his races. Keep us posted..

Like there's a shortage of retards in radio.

Unfortunately, you're right--that's why many of us have gone to sites on the 'net to listen to what WE WANT(Jack?), & not what the "consultants" try to drive down our throats!
 
Now there's the kind of LEADERSHIP we all want to have as an example! A real genuine people person. Results oriented. HUMBLE. Ethical. NOT! It's all about YOU isn't it. With all your talent and management qualities why so many programming fumbles. If you didn't put "Former General Manager Beasley Broadcasting" after your name would anyone care? Do check in often. You sure know how to show your cards.
 


KDWN could get 4 shares and tie with KXNT if it would dump the monotone morning news, add Basham/Cornell 5A-9A, Ed Schultz 9A-NOON, Heidi Harris NOON-3P, Hart Kirch 3P-6P, Michael Savage 6P-9P, and get the Coast to Coast contract from CBS due to the better nightime signal and the "Henderson HD Hash" (KDWN covers 13 Western States). That said, KDWN should eliminate its IBOC at night.

Good post except keep Savage live 3-6pm. Hart Kirch returns from 6-10 pm and Coast live at 10p

I strongly agree they should keep Savage live. KDWN was actually tied for #5 25-54 in PM drive this trend. That's one of the highest rankings KDWN has ever had.

I wouldn't be so quick to change their evening lineup. In the May extrap, Boortz/Masters/Hendrie was an amazing #3 25-54 7p-Midnight. Although that could have been a fluke.
