Might it make sense to have WBZ-TV GM Ed Piette add radio to his roster?

If we agree that the collapse in advertising is to blame for the collapse of most media, does it even matter who's in the chair? And if the 'secret' is product placement, then all hope is lost. ('This story of the car crash in Worcester is brought to you by MAACO!' 'This story about the burglary spree in Dorchester is brought to you by ADT!')

Ted Jordan has long outlived his uselessness. I had a laugh when he
told the Herald he had been offered a dean of journalism position.
This guy doesn't know the meaning of journalism. He's the one who
let Gil Santos report on sports while being on the Patriots payroll
(conflict of interest) and lets his major anchors do toyota
commercials disguised as news items. He allowed that embarassing
"lapierre on the loose" feature go on for years. He should have been
gone years ago.
