WSTW OLD AIR STAFF QUESTION

[warmland]

With all the recent talk about WSTW, does anyone know what happened to some of the old WSTW jocks form the mid 80s like Dave Fleetwood, Chris O'Brien and Dave Donavan?

Fleetwood has been back in the area doing afternoons at WVLT for several years. He and O'Brien had been tight for a number of years; maybe he knows where he is? I thought I'd heard O'Brien had an off air production gig in Washington, but that was YEARS ago.

I did hear that O'Brien was at The Voice Of America in DC for several years, but that was a good 9 or 10 years ago. He was also in Hartford and Baltimore.

Chris is out of radio (A shame!) and in the business of selling motion picture memorabilla.
Which he has always loved.

How about Alan Price, who did the mornings for STW in the late 80s or early 90s? I always enjoyed his quirkiness.

After we let him go he went to Austin Texas to do mornings.
Recently, I was told he is out of the biz.

Are you talking about Alan Price?

 

[waky79]

Yes, 650
Alan Price.

Notice, Damien can't just answer the question and say where Price went. He has to throw in the guy was fired. The word "we" implies Damien played some part in that. Possibly, he will claim - based on his not being fired - that Price's dismissal was for good cause.

Also notice the guy ends up doing morning drive in market 42 - leaving market 75 (if the markets were ranked by sales revenue rather than population, the jump would be an even bigger one). Sounds like "DNC" fired somebody good. Could such decisions be driven by office politics? Or maybe they just aren't good at judging talent?

Hey Flintstone!
Who wizzed in your fruity pebbles? Get up on the wrong side of the rock?
It was in the News Journal and in all the trades! Common Knowlege. Old news.

My point exactly! Old news. So when somebody asks where-is-he-now, why the gratuitous mention that "we let him go?"

You indicate you are a current Delmarva employee. Possibly you are posting on a company computer on company time. I wonder if the suits will think your posts, including those in the John Wilson thread on the Philly board attacking a former co-worker and using some vulgarisms which the board moderator edited out, reflect well on DBC?

Good Lord people, he didn't say "We kicked his f'ing worthless no-talent ass out of the East Coast"..he
just said "After we let him go...". RELAX already.

As far as waky79 goes, two of his posts on this topic were in the 11am hour, close to lunch, and the other at nighttime.
If if it WAS on company time, I'm sure the 30 seconds he used to type the short replies really didn't bankrupt the company.

Why you felt the need to chastise someone over a harmless comment nearly a week after it was made is ridiculous. Get over it.
