This station can do whatever they want because of the heavy amount of ads.  Never heard so many ads on a station.  Two songs --> 6 ads. 

Continuing with the above thought, Corus also owns Q 107. 

wade macneil gone as well. 
not sure what the big plan is -- am curious!

What loyalty, exactly, would you have a station do to its employees?  If YOU ran the business and the stock has been falling for a while, what would you do? If the product is based on ratings and those are flat, would you keep dead wood around when there's a possibility of improvement?

Many on here seem to expect a "job for life" with absolutely no pushback from management. Speaking of, it's management's DUTY to return excellent value to their shareholders. That's business. Name me any other business that would blatantly let their stock plummet, cause loses for their shareholders and do absolutely nothing to correct the situation? No? So why is radio different?

I don't see deadwood. I see opportunity to improve ratings in another market.

The world owes everyone a hand up. 
Just because something isn't working here does not mean it won't work somewhere else in the company.
The radio talent doesn't have to accept. They can reject the offer given. It's the thought that counts.

Sometimes going to another market and recycling jokes etc brings in better ratings for that station in that market.
(they have not previously heard those jokes etc because it's a different market)

Never shut out opportunity. 

Cheers to Corus for having faith in the idea that moving at least one radio talent from Edge over to Q will somehow boost ratings for a sister station. That's a nice hand up. Good luck to Fearless Fred.

Oh and another thing: If there is no need for a "Job for life" then there is no need for a no compete clause either.

Radiowiz, I've known a few who've had to negotiate a no compete clause. I think it's been discussed here before, but still not entirely sure how they can be enforced. Everyone's gotta make a living.

cGrant, I hear that. I've also not heard of anyone disputing the NC, so enforceable or not, seems to work for both parties.

Money for nothing. We're still talking about broadcasting? -chuckle-

Hope they light the fuse to Q 107 morning show. Derringer is in cruise control and Jenn offers nothing.
