It's interesting how many people are so happy to see the potential downfall of Russ Martin. They have forgotten  one thing: Russ is immensely successful. If CBS dumps him, he may just retire. It appears Russ has made some good investments and lives rather frugally (in comparison to others in his income bracket).

Russ may end up as a highly paid radio consultant telling owners and PDs the same things he does on the air for free. He has the auto shop and has talked about opening a bar/restaurant in the past. He could still do so. Majestic could offer him an investment opportunity. Russ has so many other opportunities to continue to succeed in DFW he doesn't need to go anywhere else. 

Can any of these other naysayers make it in any radio market, especially the #5 market?

CBS posted the affidavit and I all I have to say is that Russ is pretty much screwed since there is physical and audio evidence to back up the story.

I just now feel sorry for those who work with him and "Amy".

Man I appreciate your loyalty, but read the arrest warrant again.  According to a statement attributed to Russ the IRS is getting ready to turn him inside out.  That doesn't sound like someone who is going to have money to live on the rest of his life.

Soooooo...Does BDH pick up from 11 am-7PM???  I don't mean to make light of the situation, but I'd say that Gavin is in a real mess from a programming standpoint.  I can't see even "Best of" filling the 3-7pm time slot based on the information in the affadavit.

The more important question is, can KLLI continue with their present forrmat?  With P&K gone and Russ on his way out, Gavin has huge holes to fill.  My guess is, Gavin gets a pink slip too, and CBS flips the station to something else.  I imagine if CBS tries to keep the KLLI identity, the station gets left with a black eye.  Might as well just trash the whole thing at this point, and start over.

So far, the reporting has been pretty standard on domestic abuse calls. Protective orders are issued on every case like that. We may never know the full details as to what happened, unless stories collaborating one side come out of both mouths.
