Ok so there was a name change and the jocks were dumped ... big freakin deal. This is another case of a radio's "turd in a box" theory. Not saying B96 or NOW is turd (just using the word for a visual example) -- but, if you just change the packaging and really don't change the product when you open ...

Donnie is very entitled to take the money and run -- he's made millions for himself and CBS. No shame in saying "I'm done ... OK, next." I admire him for stepping aside. Gives another up and coming talent a shot! Radio stars are not born! Like Donnie Simpson and so many other -- Rick Dees, Ryan Seac...

We're all getting yanked here folks! Rush does things like this for effect. He's the only Talker I know that can get the White House to comment. He comes just close enough to the line without going over it. What he's really trying to say is not to donate to help Haiti ... he's making another targete...

This will be interesting to see how this all goes down. Will they upstage Elliot? He's good but, rowdyron is right, he needs a quick kick in the "creativity"

The sad part is that some folks are really having a tough time both in and out of the biz. I have a few buds who are just crazed that they can't get a job right now.

If you have a job be happy -- think of those without, especially now around the holidays.

OMG ... so ya gotta spend $79.99 at RadioShack (aka The Shack) for some kind of hardward add-on to hear some awful programming that's been handed off to an assistant to an intern who just sat down at at a music scheduling computer for the first time last week? How about we fix the programming on AM ...

Ratings matter if they are helping you hit your bonuses, but beyond that you've better be creative as hell to use ratings to counteract the stupidity that the business has heaped on itself over the past few years with HD radio, less is more and dropping our pants around our ankles for rates.
