Transmitter Sites From Hell Website

M

Madmansam

i found a very interesting website dealing with Central California Radio Station Transmitters and other interesting stuff. I might be wrong, but I have a feeling it is operated by a former disgruntled CE? Lot's of advertising from a Party Town Website which is operated by Former Modesto DJ, SANDY MITCHELL (formerly of KOSO, KHOP, KHKK and KFIV). Check it out at http://www.netfeed.com/~jhill/page.htm
 
"Transmitter Sites From Hell" Website is a great website, its been up for years which might explain why it might be a little out of date. Lots of stuff about greedy cheap channel and others, You can tell the CE had a real passion for radio but the Mega Corperation has left a really bad taste in his mouth, going over the site you learn the hell a CE goes through dealing with tight fisted and very demanding GM's and owners. They wanted fixed yesterday and don't want it to cost anything, the site is well worth the visit.

Could it be that Brad & Transmitter sites from hell has another agenda. No one forced Brad when he worked for clear channel to stream "The I hate Clear Channel " Audio feed from Clear Channel Servers.... We all reap what we sow and Brad brought on to himself what happened. We all make choices.

The fact is many transmitter sites are not well maintained and management wants it done yesterday for nothing. The site would be nicer if the politics were left out of it, I too have seen transmitter sites that are somewhat unsafe to get to by car, not well maintained. Radio Guide has even more transmitter sites from hell, I don't think they have any agenda.
Fact is broadcasters are greedy and cheap, I have have worked for a few myself.

Brad Johnson ('jhill') was an engineer with poor work ethic and blamed everything that happened to him on others, mostly his employers. I was working on the air at Citadel when they fired him and brought in a new guy with a good reputation. Suddenly, stuff that had been broken for MONTHS was getting fixed. I heard horror stories about rats and bugs at the AM site and the filth that Brad left behind. Brad didn't maintain the stations! Heck, our AM was only putting out a fraction of its licensed power. Then, Brad blamed everything on management, etc. We were off the air so much, it became a staff joke. The replacement engineer made 100% difference in our sound and our reliability, almost instantly.

Don't get me wrong, I am not against Brad. I just want to point out the obvious. He is NOT a victim! He brought it all on himself, and blamed everyone else.

BTW, I heard from my friend at Clear Channel that CC fired him because he slammed the C.E. Steve Mitchel publicly and published some VERY private stuff about Steve's family online. How to you blast your boss in public and not expect some kind of punishment?? Besides, CC has a strict drug policy and Brad's website used to advertise the fact that he and Sandy sold pot. Give me a break!

The transmitter sites from hell website is so out of date it is pathetic. What really gets me steamed is- Doesn't he have anything nice to say about ANY station other than his LPFM at his house? I worked for several stations he mentions on his website and they were not all bad.

As for access to transmitter sites... Why pay a bundle to pave a highway when only one person ever travels that road? It makes no financial sense. If I remember correctly, Citadel provided a vehicle to their engineer for his use anyway. So, if they provide the car, what do you care what the road is like?

Has any station that fired Brad regretted it later? Nope.
