Wow, I don't know if that's Big news, Scary News, or both....

Anyone know anything more? I hope 2009 doesn't see even more PLJ changes...

that's scary, period - this guy's been in New York over 20 years, no?? and at one point, didn't he HOST the morning show on 'PLJ before Scott and Todd were even a thought in anyone's mind?? Just ponderings of a NY radio veteran, that's all...

Wasn't that Gary Bryan?

 

[andreajesus]

i thought i recall Mitch Dolan doing it even BEFORE Gary Bryan quite possibly...

I believe that was Jim Kerr. Bryan was PD and initially made himself Kerr's partner, and then eased him out. Then Rocky Allen, and then Scott (& eventually Todd).

Thanks for the correction, Gerry!! I think after 25 years of doing this, my brain cells are a little rustier these days than they used to be - oh, well...

Cheers!

Nothing like a little pre-Spring cleaning. PLJ is ripe for a format change. This could be the year!

Mitch Dolan was also the GM of WABC.

I guess Citadel will have one manager overseeing all of their stations in a geographical area.




Thanks,
