Tom Del Rio out at da Bomb

Fired last Friday after coming off a #1 18-34 persons in last week's trend. Sounds like some drama afoot there.

Entravision doesn't know what the heck there doing. It makes no sense, fire a guy like Tom who is bringing in big numbers for the Bomb. But yet they keep a guy down the hall like Rick Stewart who has never had any rating success at any station. Including over five years with KCCL 101.9. He's had five morning shows in five years, keeps changing the format every other week. Rick Stewart must have something on the GM Larry Lemanski or Entravision Communications that allows him to keep his job..over and out for now..

After DelRio removed DJ Tosh as MD and replaced him with DJ Knuckles, Tosh filed a racial discrimination suit against Entravision. The results were the termination of Del Rio, the removal of DJ Knuckles as MD, and the reinstatment of Tosh as the MD, and now acting PD.
 
Re: Tom Del Rio out at da Bomb-Rick Stewart still there

That's one helluva theory...but Knuckles & Tosh are BOTH BLACK!

Thanks for playing...TRY AGAIN!

Del Rio has some good Rhythmic CHR chops but
he doesn't last long. He was tossed out of
San Diego in a few months before he landed
in Sac.

Are you sure that's accurate? That sounds like a half story. Why was he tossed out?

Del Rio wasn't "tossed out" in San Diego... he went in at Blazin 98.9, kicked Z90 in the face after 6 months, and was offered the position at THE BOMB. And the racial thing is absolutely false. That isn't the situation at all. Del Rio will surface again very shortly.

Re: Tom Del Rio out at da Bomb-Rick Stewart still there

That is NOT what happened...YOU are the one spreading rumors & trying to put info out there that you dont even know. Stick to your SF board, because you're clueless
about Sacramento. Dumbass wannabe insider!

Ah Right...sure. Look at market ranking, and
lifestyle I won't even go there.

Re: Tom Del Rio out at da Bomb-Rick Stewart still there

San Diego is about as exciting as Sacramento...Well... San Diego does have ocean beaches. San Diego is sleepy and conservative...

Only the fool looks at market size assuming it's better where it's bigger. If the comments on both this and the San Francisco board are to be believed, radio is worse in SF than it is in Sac. That's a debate for another discussion, but there is plenty of bad radio in big cities and good radio in smaller ones. To immediately assume the worst because someone stepped down in market size ... well, it's foolish. Unless, of course, you can prove your claim in your earlier post. Unlikely. Besides, the way the population is growing in this market, Sac might well be closer to 20 than 30 before long.

i stand by my earlier posts! tosh never actually filed the racial disc. suit, but looked into it with someone from human resources, who brought it to the attention of the executives at entarvision. Tommy was fired soon after, and Tosh was named Md and acting PD. get madd all you want.

if none of this is true, then Tosh should possibly make a statement, cuz this is whats going around the industry, being told as FACT. <P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by cubase on 10/13/05 07:01 AM.</FONT></P>

Lifestyle is an opinion topic, so I'll just leave that go

As far as market size, I would not be surprised if MANY Sacremento gigs pay more than those same gigs in San Diego... For the most part, they are in the same category. Market size hardly effects pay THAT MUCH when you're talking markets 11-30.
 
Re: Tom Del Rio out at da Bomb-Rick Stewart still there

Oh okay, who's the highest paid morning show in Sac?
PD salaries tend to be higher in markets 11-20 than
20-30. As far as SD being sleepy and conservative.
You obviously haven't lived there. It's pricey as
hell, beaches, happening downtown, but it isn't
sleepy.

RHighest Paid Morning Show in Sac

Probably The Paul & Phil Show, $1,000,000 plus.

Compared to SF and LA San Diego is boring and conservative, in my opinion. It IS a NICE city though. I've talked to many people who live there and have spent some time there myself, but I concede that I haven't lived there. I have lived in San Francisco and Sacramento and am currently in LA. San Diego is pricey and it's NICE...but that's it! If rate San Diego on climate and beaches
San Diego is way ahead of Sacramento. But if you look at progressive politics or close proximity to a really sophisticated place like San Francisco or the green areas of Northern California, in my view...Sacramento wins.
