What Happened to Cary Richards on KAAM?

I guess that I don't quite get what's not to be believed. ???

I'm just a listener trying to make the best of an increasingly unhappy radio situation over which none of us has any control:

McCoy was gone last week and again so far this week, and his replacement is enjoyable.
While I believe that the Cary Richards daytime shift was the best program that KAAM has had since I started listening in 1991 or so (and I've done some thinking back), Maryrose is not a complete train wreck.
Jack Davis brings up the rear always as "Happy" Jack Davis.
I'd rather hear the older big band > Ames Brothers stuff rather than The Carpenters and Bread, but as you said, that's McCoys deal and there is not likely any changing it. The whole thing is a shame.

I wish you well.
 
CARY..........take if from another seasoned old salt. Radio has been a wonderful profession...........that was then.........this is now. We keep our memories and friendships and let the so called progress dictated by focus groups [management code for "do it my way or the highway"] press on without any intellegent musical input..........that is unless it's written on the liner card.
 
Dear Tex-Gent -

Of course I concur. My Point could best be some up by G.B. Shaw:

"Some men see things as they are and say why; I dream things that never were and say why not?"

Why don't PD's listen to their listeners?

By what reference point or tangible life experiences makes so many of them believe that they have a monopoly on wise programming, unless it's just naked arrogance?

And the biggest question of all:

Why is it that the least talented and the most mediocre are always the ones with the power and authority over the rest of us?

I have a big band. My philosophy has always been to hire the VERY BEST musicians available - if I am the weakest link among 17 that is always my goal - because then I have the very best band possible which always comes back to refelct favorably upon ME.

I suppose I'm just naive. No one any radio EVER thinks that way evidently!
