Chages @ Country 107.1
Monday, October 3rd, 2011
I figured I should put a blog together and give some insight to the changes here at the station . As you are well aware Kenny’s last day here was Friday . For some reason in this industry when you move on to another gig the previous station basically doesn’t acknowledge that you existed . I can’t really tell you why its just the way it is . I think it’s a case of moving forward and not looking back . More or less its kind of an unwritten rule in radio that once a person moves on you just don’t talk about them . Today I’m breaking that unwritten rule . I have mixed emotions about losing my buddy Kenny Jones , first off I’m proud of him . Kenny is following his dreams on to that major market gig and I admire him for it . After a decade in country radio it’s tough to jump into a different format . I have total faith that Kenny will hit it out of the park day in and day out at his new gig . On the down side I’m losing my partner in crime , my right hand man and a great team player . You know what Kenny can do behind a mic but its what he does behind the scenes that will really be missed . As a team there wasn’t much me and Kenny couldn’t get done , we had each others backs and basically we could almost read each others minds and get stuff done . I’ve been in radio for 11 years now and I’ve worked with over 40 announcers over the years .They all moved on at some point for whatever reason but losing Kenny has been the toughest loss so far . It just doesn’t feel right in the hallway today . Now that being said we have a new guy coming in next week and I think you’re going to really like him . All I ask is keep an open mind and give him a couple weeks to get comfortable and get a feel for what’s going on a round him . I closing I want to thank you for your loyalty and friendship over the last 6 years . I’m only doing one blog while we wait for Ian so I’ll up the ante , you find this code “PALS” is worth more then the usual blog code
