I've always considered losing my job due to budget cuts as being fired.  I suppose it looks a little better on the resume, but being fired didn't used to be much of a negative in radio anyway.  It was almost like earning your stripes to some people.

Barber is at or very close to retirement age.  After all, his first radio job was 1971 after getting out of the Air Force.  During that era, he would've had to do a 4, 6, or 8 year active enlistment (the Air Force has never done 2 year enlistments) depending on the kind of job he had, which means, at the very latest, he graduated high school in '67.  That would put him at 62 or 63.  So, I wonder if he'll even go back into radio.

First of all, let me say "Welcome to the board, Andy!"  Good to have you here! 

I'd also like to say that I hope you find exactly what you're looking for, and I'm glad to hear you like it in Tulsa.  I left Tulsa about 20 years ago, and, while I've tried to come back a few times (as recently as early last year for one), I've always ended up finding something where I am.  I know you made another post saying a CHR was interested in you, and I say, why not?  Dale Dorman did CHR well into his 60's in Boston.  So, there's no reason you couldn't either!

Again, good luck to you, and thanks for stopping by!

I heard Guns and Roses- Paradise City the other day. Has that always been in rotation or are they tweaking the playlist some? All the jocks still  sound good to me. Jeanna and Jill have some great pipes for the format. Not familiar with this "Mac" guy that has been on quite a bit. Sounds great. Where did he come from?

Mac is from the Edge I think.  The guy does sound freakin' awesome.  Jeanne, Davey and Jill sound major market.  Mac and/or Billy Madison will end up in regular rotation.  Two power adds.   The music does sound better too.  Who is the PD?

The best pipes at Star belong to Bobby Butler.

And if Billy ends up on Star...might as well change the format, because that will not work for a Classic Rock demo.
