I hope it was really worth it.

1. ...BTW Cheryl WAS that show. Her and Mark together would have been GREAT. But she QUIT and went to QRC. HER CHOICE.

4. Finally, speaking directly about traitors, Cheryl Park was offered the PD gig at WCOD on a Friday and quit on a Saturday.
Sincerely,
Worst sounding and top rated jock in market #183 (now I'll STFU)
I've decided to lower myself into this discussion based on the "FACTS" posted above by the individual who has identified himself as "The worst sounding and top rated jock in market #183". My reasons for doing so should become clear to anyone with a modicum of intelligence - which, sadly, will leave many of the posters here in a state of indefinite befuddlement, and possibly at risk of some rather serious consequences they regrettably lack the foresight to avoid.
Ms. Park did not quit. She was, in fact, never hired by Q when they assumed ownership of the station. No contract or formal employment agreement was ever tendered by Q prior to the point at which she accepted an offer from the privately-owned WQRC. It was a massive oversight on the part of the individuals designated to manage the acquisition of WCOD, one that cost them a great deal of the intrinsic value commuted to Q by the acquisition, and unless I'm mistaken, the "top rated jock" from the posting above was one of the individuals involved in that particular little piece of unfortunate mismanagement.
What's of exceptional interest is that this individual has now publicly attacked Ms. Park in print by deliberately and knowingly making false and defamatory statements about the circumstances involving to her move from WCOD to WQRC, and about her personally. The precise word used is "traitors", and it is applied in an effort to specifically cast doubt on the character and trustworthiness of Ms. Park while purposefully omitting details of the affair that would not only refute any implication of misdeeds on the part of Ms. Park, but would also implicate both himself and other Q management staff in a blatant act of corporate negligence that would undoubtedly tarnish their reputation with both their employer and the industry in general.
There is a legal term for this type of character denigration, and that word is "slander". Apart from its conventional use as a casual accusation used in petty arguments, in a more sombre sense, it is a heavy act of malfeasance that carries substantial penalties when proven in a court of law. For those of you who are not aware of it, posts such as these can be forensically investigated via subpoenaed records from the message-board operators, and can be used as evidence in legal proceedings to prove such claims...should they ever be sought.
While one can reasonably expect a certain lack of restraint in a public forum such as this, a matter such as this one simply vaults over the boundary of casual, tactless banter and firmly into the realm of liability. Having had the pleasure of meeting numerous characters from the broadcasting industry in this region, I've come to some very firmly positive conclusions about Ms. Park, and simply will not let this go unaddressed.
Mr. Top Rated Jock, I will be forwarding this to several individuals for their formal opinions. Should their opinions merit further and formal discussions with you or your employer, I'm sure you'll be notified. Until then, you may want to do what you can to set the record straight since it is now almost certainly in your best interest to do so as quickly and honestly as possible.
Good day.
