I don't though, this was a simple lineup change. Things get stale, ratings falter. I never called anyone a liar and I never assassinated anyone. I might of Ad Hominime'd someone but I still don't know what that means? KMR was speaking from a consultants point of view saying a Broadcast team or a traffic reporter, or a news person isn't needed in today's Radio, that just isn't true. I don't have a smart phone or any devices which can tell me about Deadly crashes ahead, or the weather or news unless I want to tune away? That is the last thing the Broadcast station would want you to do?
No one said you assassinated anyone. Character assassination is when you say/post negative things with the intent to blemish someone's character. Similar to libel (or slander) but is not a legal term.
What KM posted:
New trend in the industry, referenced in the Barrett article this morning. Morning shows no longer "need" news and traffic reports, as more and more people rely on smartphone applications and the Net. If they are using radio the tendency is to tune in the all-news station rather than expect it on your music station.
KCBS-FM ("Jack") has never had news.
Watch. The ratings will go up as a result of this. I hate saying that, since I come from an era of radio being a full-service medium, but I'm fairly confident that will be the outcome given today's realities.
KM refers to a third party (the Barrett article)... hence the word "referenced". KM was not claiming to be the one who came up with the trend. She basically quoted the morning show's reasons for the change.
Oddly, you then post this:
Now we read in L.A. Radio about Death threats and Rape with the KROQ morning show. Sounds like another one of those Kevin & Bean hoax's?
(March 2, 2015) Death threats, forewarnings of rape. Sounds more like a reality tv show than radio. The drama started when Lisa May was fired from her 24-year job doing morning traffic on the Kevin & Bean Show at KROQ. Within hours it was announced that former KTLA/Channel 5 Morning News at-large feature reporter Allie MacKay would be joining the popular duo, the negatives on social media started with a flurry. The timing and execution of the hiring and firing was poorly done. Kevin & Bean, along with their program director Kevin Weatherly, have been contemplating ways to jump start their morning show with a fresh, new approach. They looked at the features currently airing and determined that their listeners no longer went to the show for traffic and news. Looking back this doesn't sound like an announcer was out of the loop or il informed to me?
The article goes on to say:
Once the decision was made, it happened so quickly that the morning guys were caught off-guard admitting they were like a deer in headlights.
So, this tells me that while they knew what would eventually happen, they did not know how things were going to transpire. And they were unprepared. Regardless, the REASONING for change was do to the apparent fact (read: TREND) that the listeners no longer need KROQ for news and weather. That is the point KM made (by referencing Laradio.com with the "Barrett article") but that YOU and ChannelFlipper disparaged her for.
So, where is the apology?
