More Nassau cutbacks

[NHRadio]

It appears Goldman Sachs isn't wasting any time. Dominic Biello was blown out of WLNH Laconia NH today along with Production Director Lisa Mchugh. More cuts are possible in both the Laconia and Hooskett clusters.
My semi-informed opinion is the next morning show on WLNH will be syndicated. Maybe Bob and Sheri?
My sympathies to Dom and Lisa...they're good people.

Like most corporate moves to tighten a belt, even symbolically,they don't streamline the ones somewhat up the ladder who have been wasting oxygen for the company.

Talent is almost meaningless, at times. or it seems that way.

Dommie and Lisa are indeed good people and VERY talented.

Once again.....a company cutting in the wrong place!!!  Don't cut talent....cut one of the million VP's that do absolutely NOTHING!!!!!!!!  Sorry to hear about this Dom.....class act...great man!

To quote the 1974 film, Blazing Saddles, Governor William J. Le Petomane remarked, "We have to protect our phoney baloney jobs here, gentlemen! We must do something about this immediately! Immediately! Immediately! Harrumph! Harrumph! Harrumph!..."

Hope all who are about to be set free will land on their feet feeling okay and knowing it isn't over... remember your talents are still marketable. Good Luck to All...!

WNNH 99.1 has gone silent as of 11AM this morning. Don't if this is forever, or just a maintenance problem.

Anyone know if Shirley Clarke is still with the Nassau group?

Could have to do with WNNH being one of the stations that have to be sold off. Maybe they are already beginning to split off the signal to some format that will not interfere with what they already have going. Takes a few hours to reconnect the output of an automation to the program line feeding the transmitter.

Time will tell I guess..

I think the timing is just unfortunate. The carrier is still on, making me think it's in the STL path....but obviously can't be sure.

Maybe Clark Smidt will buy WNNH back. Would love to see a rechristened "Oldies 99" back on the radio. Clark owned WNNH from its 1989 sign on until about 2000 and during that era, WNNH had a very diverse playlist and slick sounding "big city" sound despite being located in the hinterlands of Central NH. I believe that Smidt currently owns 107.7 WTPL in Concord, so if he could come up with the $$, perhaps he could run both operations out of the same studios- which I believe belonged to WNNH at one time!!

He does not own WTPL. It's owned by Great Eastern, headed by a former Vox partner. I forget which one.
Clark is a partner in WCAP, Lowell.
