Hey Parker...
I was surprised to see your name posted here. More importantly, I was surprised to see that you were up that late at night. In so far as RW, long time broadcasters have always known the axe could come at anytime. Russell wants to blame today's decisions on corporate greed. However, things really haven't changed. One used to get canned for low ratings, which equates to advertising revenue, which equates to "the bottom line". Owners are in it to make money and it's not as easy as it used to be. That's why after thirty years in the biz I find myself back in small market, making a decent living at a station that cares about its listeners. And I'm having fun which is why I got into this God awful industry in the first place.
Peace out.....D. Brodigan
