Whatever happened to John David Wells?

LV....

You get a lot of things wrong.

It's either because you're not too smart, or it's because you're just trying to hurt me....or both.

You've been told over and over about my Las Vegas job history, even by posters other than me, and yet you'll traipse across this board from city to city and libel me. Now either stop, or face the certainty of me running down your true identity and spilling your pot of beans....live and in color, right here.

(Since the folks here at Radio-Info.com seem to have no problem with you lying about me, I'm sure they will have no trouble with me telling the truth about you.)

Now for the last time.....

Yes, I got canned at K-News, by a guy who went on to get fired for incompetence 2 years later after embedding the station firmly in the sewer. He's no longer in radio management. I am.

KDWN was being run by an addled old woman everyone but me was afraid of. She made professional promises she didn't keep, and so I moved on. She's no longer in radio. I am.

I walked out of KXNT because I had no future there, and have major problems with the way they treat people. I know they're doing very well now, and I congratulate them for their success. But, their competition nightmare has just begun....2 months ago, in fact.

That's when FOXNews1280-KDOX first hit the air.

Winning starts in the front office. We have the best Owner/CEO in Las Vegas Radio. Period. Yes, I do Morning Drive News and Traffic, and Voice the station. I'm also the Operations Manager, and Program Director. I supervise 2 employees, one of which is the best Imaging Director in this town. And it's the best job any of us has had in Las Vegas radio for 10 years.

True. We don't have any ratings to show for our 2 months work in Radio's toughest format.

Here's the Truth....Our line-up is Talk Radio's future. KXNT's line-up is Talk Radio's past. KXNT is riding a helpless drug-addict, a pushy broad from Southern California telling people how to live, and a guy defying gravity as a mindless shill for the Republican Party. One way or another, these people are finishing up their (yes, stellar) careers.

Want some more Truth? All you have to do to predict KXNT's future in Las Vegas is look at what CBS Radio did when Howard left. Who's next on the air for 840? David Lee Roth?

Honestly? All we have to do is wait. And until then, Las Vegas has what it has never had before....2 competent Talk Stations serving our neighbors at the same time in the Post 9-Eleven Era.

All of us in Las Vegas have already won.

As for me praising myself using another screen name....Why on Earth would I do that? Unlike you, I'm not afraid of who I am. And besides...

When all is said and done, I won't (have to) say a word. Place your bets.

JD~ I have no doubt in my mind that KDOX 1280AM is where it's at today because of you and your incredibly talented team you have working there with you. KDOX jumps off the dial as a professionally sounding station with great programming and dynamic imaging. It certainly has come a long way in the 2 months since you all have put KDOX on the map and, I am excited to see what the future holds! Keep up the OUTSTANDING job you do everyday. Hats off!!!! :)
 
The "radio Stars" on kxnt ...people that won contests....don't seem to have much personality and don't seem too exciting...Alan Stock and Heidi Harris do a good job....I think Jerry Doyle is more intersting than the advice lady ....or "the Great American" and his rush replay show...

most of the people on kdox have professional and educational backgrounds that blow kxnt's people out of the water --with the exception of dr L and Dr. edel.
 
Hey, JD:

Any thought(s) to having an hour or two focusing on Nevada issues featuring (live)interviews with Nevada pols & having them take questions from the voters themselves? I think that if any Southern Nevada broadcaster could pull a program like that off with ratings success, you would be the one. Reply?
 
Absolutely....We're working on that programming now. Stay tuned....

And truly, thanks for the input. I haven't had much chance to do anything here except fend off dopes, but you've given me the opportunity to say this: For as long as I'm involved, FOXNews1280 is our radio station.....A station for on-air professionals, to benefit the true customer of radio; The Listener.

We are going to remind the money-changers that radio is a service, not a business, and yes, I need your help. Listen to the station. Make suggestions. Share your knowledge. Call me at (702) 258-0285, and I'll promise not to blow your identity. But here's what I don't want....I don't want to hear any proprietary information. None.

It's time for us to stop using these aliases as clubs to beat the hell out of each other, and start trying to get ourselves back in the game. The Managers, Salesmen, and Engineers are doing just fine....It's our turn.

If we'll just stop proving that we're nothing more than a bunch of silly, spoiled, juveniles and start making ourselves assets instead of asses....We might be able to once again serve our neighbors, instead of ourselves.

I noticed kxnt morning people did topics of: gag gifts and what kind of ads to put on air sickness bags...how is kdox going to top that?


I did hear the Sahara sports talk show.....they should give something away like tickets or a free meal etc
