Well, the credit goes to our team in Cincinnati.
I hate it when a good, talented person gets kicked to the curb.
Thanks for your service, clear out your desk. We'll give you a whole half hour.
Now, that is not a quote of what happened to Mr. Walker. I don't know how that separation went. But, it has to many a friend of mine.
I once had the building security guard watch me (and three others) clean out our desks. Gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling. Two of the toughest mass firings we saw was with K Mart and GM. K Mart just handed out boxes and supervised all move outs. If you got 30 minutes, you were lucky and there was no time to say so long to your coworkers. At GM, they did almost the same thing, EXCEPT, the guys with company cars handed in their keys, immediately and were sitting on the curb, with their belongings, until they could get a ride home. You wonder if there's a better way. |

GOOD MOVE for Real Talk 1160, and an opportunity for Wildman to re-enter a quickly-depreciating industry. I'm so-happy that radio licensees outside the "Big Five" are broadcasting in Cincinnati. I make a concerted effort to SUPPORT THEM [and their advertisers] – WQRT and WDJO! If we enjoy these listening opportunities, we need to visit the clients that invest advertising $$$ on these stations, and TELL THEM that we're in their stores 'cause they showed faith in these stations to return an investmest in their Marketing decisions. btw, GOOD signal improvement, WQRT! |

Best wishes with your changes.. Glad to see the "little guy" trying to press forward. Seems like these boards are always full of criticism for the little guy yet those same people complain that "There are too many Clear channel, CBS, Cumulus stations"

You guys are pretty darned kind. Our "kindness" is rewarded by the fact that YOU ARE ON THE AIR and providing a viable option. It's generally "cool" to support the underdog, but in the case of radio broadcasting – it is patent necessity! It should be apparent by now, that the CCs and "Clouds" of the radio world don't give passing flatulence about their listeners – and [sadly] even ADVERTISERS [note the factual charge of un-returned calls]. In stark contrast, companies like the enterprise you are involved with DO! We and others removed from a professional association need to step-up and pay-back the free service you offer us by simply SUPPORTING YOU! |

In typical Cincinnati fashion, instead of addressing professional issues like local yokel ad spots/production, pregnant brain fade pauses, and blank air for minutes, the first guys to reply here said "turn it off". AWESOME! Evolve much? Oh and 55? 700? I will listen to whatever I want. But thanks for the suggestion.
I was going to comment, "sounds like a typical Bengals fan response" and lo and behold the member had "Bengals" in his moniker! Brilliant!
"Hey buddy, if you don't like the Bengals, move outta town"! Exactly. Thanks for validationg my original point-lameness and uber-mediocrity is sought and supported in Cincinnati on many levels. I listen to plenty of other non CC/Cumulus radio and they seem to hire hosts with a knowledge of pronunciation and grammar. Duh. I know, I know, I must be a CC devotee/employee to criticize 1160. Riiiight.
Got no ax to grind, try and rationalize my comment as a crazy whatever the f*** you want, thing is, 1160 is unlistenable. Technically and production-wise.
Bad shuffling on the programming and allowing the local 'talent' to be weak hacks verbally. Truly a Fisher-Price Mickey Mouse radio station. How many times can you claim "mind-share" from an ad spot when it's simply overplaying a non-clever amateurish ad from a car repair client. Oh, big rule in "PRO" radio, try to dissuade the client from voicing their own spots.

Exactly. Someone HAS to be paying me to "troll". It can't be that my points are legit and I'm a citizen who listens to talk radio. Again classic Cincy regional summation. Lay off the chili.

Brilliant analysis, but I'm from Chicago... |
