Terrble DJ

Today 2PM. Worst DJ ever on KOIT. Dull with pregnant pauses. Never said his name. Cost cutting must have them hiring cheap which means not very good

Being that KOIT is AFTRA...that person is getting scale.

Good or talented does not always equate to pay...nor does bad mean they are working for cheap.

I know many rail on radio pay...but if folks weren't so desperate to work in the field..meaning if folks did not accept the wages being offered, then maybe they'd go up with companies realizing they can't find someone to work at that pay scale.

Or if folks want better pay, then encourage folks to join the union, or have the union if part of one advocate for better wages.

And before we go down the road that corporations have too much power...and yea in some cases they do, unless you are willing to fight from within, bitching and complaining from the outside does no good.

Like when politicians say they get out of politics because it is so bad...unless they themselves stay in and try to fight for better and change, then they perpetuate the problem by letting those who F' things up run the operation.

Anyway...main point, that person makes the same scale wage as does someone who you likely feel is much better at KOIT.

The problem is management, not talent.  By that I mean that the program director should have known that the KOIT announcer was unable to do their job properly and not put them on the air in the first place.

Ha!  I was wandering through an Ace Hardware at exactly that time.  They had KOIT on, and I had two thoughts:  1), I can't believe Ace management makes employees and customers listen to this dreck, and 2), Good god who is this jock?  He's *awful*.  He couldn't read a liner to save his life, and he even made sunny weather sound dull.

Guess I wasn't alone in my thoughts.

OMG! A pal said that WAS the Program Director!  Andy something. So much for a union announcer. Must be cheaper tthan to have a real DJ. Like Bobby Ocean.
They sure got what they paid for v

Andy Holt, the Program Director was on the air on KOIT, may be Sue Hall had to be on KUFX.

PDs are often the worst jocks. They're usually rusty, they're focused more on the mechanics of the format than on the audience experience, and they don't want to give the jocks an excuse to inject fun and personality into the proceedings by doing it themselves.  There are, of course, exceptions.
