Whereabouts of Sugarbear?

I

IKnow

Guest
Anybody know the whereabouts of Ron "Sugarbear" Williams? Curious if he found something somewhere else?

It kinda makes you wonder what is going on in ALbany radio when you've got some great talent that is NOT on the air in Albany anymore, as far as I know. Where is Ellen Rockwell these days, or for that matter, Sean "Hollywood" Scott or
Stacey Shannon? I'm sure there are some that I'm forgetting, but maybe it's just the bottom line and these people were making more than the going "wage" in Albany these days? Just sad when Radio in Albany gets more boring the cheaper companies get. Maybe just the state of the "biz?" Don't know..just wondering.

You are employed by ABC and you're asking us? Brilliant!

Last I heard he's still in the Albany area.

Truthfully, I just kinda figured he had at least a six month non-compete he had to sit out. Since he left in late June that should be up just about now so perhaps he'll resurface in Albany radio shortly :)

Is it me or is it kinda ironic that "Iknow" doesn't know where Sugarbear is?<P ID="signature">______________

Haven't heard where Sugarbear landed yet, but have found where the others mentioned are, I think.

From last I heard, Ellen Rockwell is involved with claims adjusting at State Farm and making much more money than she was in radio (not that it's all that hard now), Stacy Shannon is doing well at a healthcare company and someone had told me that there was a position at Sirius that Sean Hollywood Scott is up for . I think it was their Cosmo Channel.
Any other jocks that have "escaped" that we may be forgetting?? Bob Mason?
Mike Morgan?

Wasn't Sugarbear fired? Can a non-compete be inforced if you're fired? Do they have to keep paying you in order to enforce it? Who else in Albany would he work for? Right now I can't think of a station for him, now, if we speculate about possible format flips hmmmmm........

I really don't care, but for argument's sake, we know Batman and Robin are on here somewhere, translation, Brian Cody and John Foxx. It's all good.

As for Dicky, aka Mike Morgan, last I heard he was up north doing sales for ABC.

And also that there are 2 personalites from Fly, god forbid if I name names or speculate, that are sending out their CDs and resumes out..

And that a former DJ from Fly is returning...Hmmm..Could it be the Joker? LOL.

He just started recently. Has anyone ever checked out the New School's web page? I can't believe they're charging about $9K for their courses. They have a page where you can fill out an "application". I always thought if your checked cleared you were in.
