Yup. Because working for CC isn't actually working for radio. It's some poor substitue. Cumeless is actually one step worse, if that's even possible.

I'm curious what the layoff is generally attributed to? I know that Bain Capital is squeezing to pay that dividend. And of course the backlash against EIB has been very much in the news. I also have heard about a shareholder lawsuit over the dividend, and rumblings of an investigation over insider trading. Anyone have any ideas?

When I worked at KTOK, in the mid to late 70s, there were eight full timers in news. I was one of three part timers. Jerry Bohnen is a great journalist and will be missed.

Looks like even the morning shows will be voice-tracked, like they do in Providence!

Everyday is a "new adventure" with these big corporate "broadcasters" it seems. At some point I wonder why people even try to stay with them. I know several that have went on to other industries and, other than missing "the good 'ol days", really are happier they did. Radio better watch itself. It's creating it's own grave and about ready to throw itself in it.

“Unfortunately in the process of improving our abilities to serve our stockholders, some employees were slaughtered,” he said. “These are quite easy decisions to make. We don't give a rat's furry a$$ to their commitment to Clear Channel over the years. We are committed to stale, automated, satellite programming.”
Fixed it for ya Bill Hurley.

Sadly I'm quite sure that Bill would have rather left things alone. HE is not committed to stale, boring, and automated programming, his big bosses appearently are. I'd say he's done an excellent job so far trying to keep the insanity down at the OKC level to this point. As with many places, a guy can only keep the bean-counting bastards away from screwing stuff up so long. This week the jerks won. I'm sorry Bill and others that you guys had to endure showing your freinds and co-workers the door. I would have strongly considered putting my keys in the desk and calling the idiots to tell them "you're outta here" about like Mickey Luckoff did at KGO to the Citadel jerks.
