In Oklahoma...who are they? Anyone you respect?
H Anthony Wayne said:Let me be the first to set you straight on Wright Wradio: you've got an owner who, as a State Rep passed a bill to keep kids from selling the lottery because "it's for the kids", but tells his salespeople to tell advertisers "it's for the kids" when they're selling high school sports packages, thinks 8 hour unpaid talent remotes is good radio, and yells at staff and volunteers on-air; you've got a GM...who, by the way of nepotism is the owner's son...who gives special rates to golfing buddies and charges non-profits to run commercials, and sits in one of his stations with the sales manager of the direct competition and hands over a rate card for his biggest promotion of the year because the competition's sales manager represents ONE local business for media buys; an Ops Manager (who also acts as PD for three different stations with three different formats) who calls the radio stations "advertising companies", which is good, because you've got a sales staff (with a 200% turnover rate in 2 years) who bypass him on a regular basis to schedule programming elements without approval or consideration to content, audience, or format because "they spend a lot of money".
The only reason the three Wright (or "Wrong", as it's called by the air-staff) Wradio stations aren't all satellite is because management wouldn't have the chance to add 5 minutes of :30 spots per hour if they were.
OAB means nothing. You pay to have your stuff submitted. Big deal. Wright Wradio is NOTHING but wrong.
