Does not surprise me either. Rogers let Marshal and Forbes go in Victoria. They let Matt and Eric go in Calgary. Will there be another format change for 104.9 Who knows wait and see

This guy never lit it up - and was over paid.
Radio is having money issues, as the economy is tanking.
Cutbacks in media, are coming fast and furious. (Cable changes will result in thousands of job losses)
How about cutting some of the overpaid suits?

Radio was tanking when the economy was fine and oil prices were high.

Radio - what more can I say :canflag2: - very much like a funeral home.

I know I know... I can see that salary for NW PD 98 to 198 thousand - wow - one in a million. :occasion5:

Lotsa talk these days of trying to find a way to deal with grossly overpaid CEOs. Now it looks like it has got so bad that managers in radio expect their salary to be more than all their air talent make when you add all their salaries together.

More like a "haunted" funeral home.

So Gary Bannerman, Rick Honey, Charlee Morgan and Kid Carson now have two things in common. All worked in radio and ALL were shown the door at the 104.9 frequency (the first two by Fraser Valley Broadcasters, the latter two by Rogers). :occasion5: That 104.9 graveyard is getting pretty full, might have to start doing double depth burials soon.

As far as a format flip, how about Sweetheart FM in the run up to Valentine's Day then try something that is a hollow imitation of Z95.3 or the 94.5 Virgin Radio. Oh yeah, that's what KISS Radio is now. :groovy: I'm sure the high paid consultants will come up with something. They've never FAILED on this frequency before :rockon:
Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars!
