I realize that radio is a "business", but once, just once, I would love to see someone from the programming and creative ranks rise to the top. I should live so long.

Look up JD Freeman, CC mkt manager in San Fran.  He was a programmer. 

Now you've lived a full life, congrats.

So basically it is going to be business as usual with the cluster...

It will still be a cluster, if you know what I mean.

That's hardly what I would call a "trend", but you're right. I can die now.

BTW, how is that SF "cluster" doing?  We all know how big a "cluster-you-know-what" SF is in so many other ways.

Tom Poleman CC NYC was a jock turned PD and every other rank...

Sarah Frazier is Brian Purdy's god child.

I trust that you mean that in a literal sense and not as a joke?  Do you mean that he agreed with her parents when she was born that he would be her God Father and help guide her through life?

Yes Sir

Dan Mason, CEO of CBS Radio was once a programmer.

Bob Pittman, CEO of Clear Channel, was once a programmer.

Randy Michaels...

Quite a few more.  The market manager needs to deliver money to the owner.  That's not a lot of fun. 

You gotta wear a suit.  A lot of creative types don't like the wardrobe.
