I have read so many posts and had so many emails re: the Bay Area talent, who now find themselves without jobs...I thought perhaps we could start a new thread. Being from Tampa...having worked this market for many years prior to going overseas in 2000... I don't remember a time, when so many "big names" have been without work. I think it's a sad day for the market (even though it's happening everywhere)... Perhaps it's a legit cost-cutting effort by the broadcasters...but I have seen more than a few surveys, which indicate listeners don't like voice tracking and/or jukeboxed formats. Anyone want to add their comments? If I want a juke box...I'll use an IPOD or play my fav CD's. Sidebar: I wonder how stations like WMNF (which are presumably live most of the time) stand to benefit (if at all) from some of the changes "up the dial"? Or will people keep listening "just for the music"?
