   Typical clear channel move… take what used to be 4 peoples jobs, then give it ALL to one person. One major market station usually is time consuming enough, and this poor guy now has to manage 4.
   Just when I thought CC couldn’t get any cheaper, they out do themselves.

   (snicker)

   ...or maybe just make it all the same content, to cut down on overhead costs.

   If anyone can handle the PD responsibilities for 4 stations its Chris Sargent! Remember, he's got a KBPS background! Go get 'em Chris!!

   Had the pleasure and the education of working with both Chris and Robert Dove in Eugene and in 25+ years of broadcasting I have to say that I've never worked with a better ops guy and gm. These are both big picture players who get it and together will make life a piece of hell for the rest of the market. A real no-brainer.

   Congratulations to Chris.....who used to answer phones for me during the Friday night "Loveline" show at KEX back in the mid 80's!

    "Jeez Alan. You must still be looking for work. "

    You know it does sound a little sucky now that you mention it. Truth is I just simply have a ton of respect for these guys. And they will both confirm for you that I am "radio retired."

    I was going to say the same thing. Who would've thought that pitching up Oldies or Classic Rock, would keep anyone listening.
