KPOJ: Whither Hartmann?

Submitted by LynnS on Sat, 03/17/2007 - 1:39pm.

As I thumbed through the paper this morning, my eye fell on the back page of the classifieds, which happened to have "R" at the top left. Imagine my surprise when I saw this, which I then dug up online:

RADIO AM 620 KPOJ - Portland's Only Progressive Talk Station looks to add a Part Time live, local host to our morning show. Must be a team player who can help deliver interesting, entertaining and relevant programming to our progressive listeners. Must know and understand local and national issues and the people involved. Talk radio experience preferred.

So did Thom finally get too exhausted to do two full radio talk shows a day? Is Heidi going away? Or is someone else being brought in to the team, which seems unlikely?

Side note: Also in the "R"s were a bunch of jobs at KPDQ/KTRO. Odd, no? Two radio job ads in one day? I remember being young and naive stupid enough to look through the want ads for radio jobs, in vain, and here's a whole packet.

As a for-profit corporation, Salem Communications is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of religion. However, you may be asked in your interview why you want to work in Christian radio and whether you would have any problem with working in such an environment.

you don't get the job. please don't think any of us are stupid enough to think that saying "Salem Communications is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of religion," actually prevents them (you) from doing so.

I worked for Salem as a board op for about two years and was never once asked about my religion. The PD did inform me about KPDQ/KFIS's religious orientation (which I already knew about, but hey, I needed the work) and he did ask me if that would be a problem. I said no, and he hired me on the spot.

Whatever happened to Thanh Tan? She was supposed to start a week ago.

She is not an anchor but a reporter. Having just started, you probably don't see much at first because she has to get oriented first...... such as where is the rest room, the lunch/break room, who is who, fire extinguisher training, the "Fisher" way, and then get some assignments.

First things first. coming from dry Boise, probably needs to get outfitted with some fins.

Don't worry. If she is good you'll see her before too long.
