Um ok, so nobody in our market got the boot?

That is truly amazing. ???

Looks like Bruce Maiman is gone. He is not listed on the KFBK website as a host any longer. And he isn't on the air tonight! And I was just getting used to listening to him each night. If this is the case then its been nice listening to you KFBK. Well back to KGO and Gene Burns again. Chris Burrows is on the air. Who is he? Live or Local?

Local. He does mornings at KMAX-CW 31 on the GOOD DAY SACRAMENTO show. Last name actually spelled "BURROUS"

Bummer that this board was down on this day. Aside from several people in sales and someone in promotions, yes, Maiman is gone, to be replaced by syndicated product once they figure out who, which means virtually no real local talk outlet in Sac. Also gone is a news producer and news director Drew Sandsor, not to be replaced. How do you eliminate the news director position from a news-talk station?

What about Armstrong and Getty?

What about Armstrong and Getty?

Saw the KSTE website last night, and apparently they were not affected...unless something
happened this morning I didn't see or hear of...
I would think they'll be among those to be tested for further syndication within CC...

In addition to the three previously mentioned a promotions person and six salespersons have been let go.
Question is what will they decide to air from 7-10p....Best of Rush ?....George Noory from dusk till dawn ?
Spencer Hughes' daytime show ? We all await.

I'm wondering if the boards here being down yesterday had anything to do with the CC downsizing? Or maybe too many people were trying to check this site to see who got let go. The boards load very slow as it is.

It's very likely the R-I Server suffered from a huge overload, thus
slowing or shutting down the message board...

Gnus of this magnitude would do that...

I was intrigued about that myself - of alllll the days that radio-info would *happen* to go down, it would be a day when everybody wanted to know what was goin' on. It would have been so Clear Channel of Clear Channel to have made sure something "happened" that day to this message board, but... from djj's explanation, I guess I can confidently put my tinfoil hat away? Ya think? Pardon me for being so conspiratorial but, I just wanted to throw that out there...

 

[radiovictim]

You and Jay weren't the only ones with those suspicions. Both ideas were running through the back of my mind, too.

By the way, I'm very sorry for the losses at CCSAC but glad that they weren't more expansive.

 

[bbutler]

Back to the issue of Sacramento radio folks getting downsized: I see former KSSJ PD and PM Drive DJ, Ken Jones is no longer the PD of San Fran's KKSF. He got his notice Tuesday.

 

[John Walker]

That sucks, I did some on-site news/traffic for KSSJ via Shadow/Metro years back when Ken worked there. He's a good guy with lots of talent

 

[bobbybooey]

Ken is a really good talent and an even better guy. Unfortunately, he's a talent in a format that's growing smaller every day... it seems that whenever a market switches from diaries to PPM, the smooth jazz station in the market doesn't last more than 6 months.
