Full-time
Mission Statement: 99.3 County FM is a not-for-profit, volunteer driven, community funded radio station. Connecting the County, this essential service reflects and contributes to the cultural richness, diversity and vitality of Prince Edward County.
99.3 County FM, a non-profit community radio station serving Prince Edward County Ontario, seeks a General Manager. The General Manager will work to build and enhance 99.3 County FM both inside the station walls and throughout the community by fostering a collegial workplace focused on growing the skills of paid, commissioned and volunteer staff, and by developing strong links throughout the community with donors, advertisers, government and the many community groups who benefit from the work of the station.
Reporting to the 99.3 County FM Board of Directors, under the supervision of the Board Chair, the General Manager will oversee the daily operations of the station and will bring superior communication and problem-solving skills along with an ability to prioritize many demands and manage expectations.

I am less than sure, given your vitriolic attitude towards all of radio and all of its programmers are morons, you'll get an invite soon. Make sure you retain your hatred towards all members of the hiring committee as the whole fools and idiots that you think they are. Oh, and please tell them everything they are doing is absolutely wrong and you know much better than them. Please inform them that chum in 1957 is the only good format there is. Good luck. Let us know how unemployment continues to be for you.

Maybe, to solve the problem, Old Codger should just get his own radio station and run that.

It would appear that while reading the words isn't an issue...your comprehension of them holds you well back of the pack 'c'. While there are good programmers...there aren't many valid broadcasting companies. [although there are some] No sense telling them what they're doing wrong if upper management won't allow the fixes to be put in place. And I decidedly do NOT think that 1050 CHUM circa 1957..'67 or even '77 was all that terrific. And by '87? They were downright laughable as they missed almost every boat while steadily sinking from view.
You obviously don't know even 1 thing about me...including the fact that I remain gainfully employed. I've only been w/o a paycheque once...and then it was for a mere 4 months. Not bad for almost 50 years of working, listening. and learning.
But heh!!! You know it 'all' with your minor market/on the outside looking in perspective. No wonder 'it' sucks as badly as it does. Yet that's better than acceptable to you. Why? That's easy. You know next to 0. The proof, as always, is in your posts.

By the way...this specific radio station looks like it might be fun to work at...It's a breath of fresh air in a nice part of the province. I know several of the people who pull a shift there. But I am exactly where I want to be ...and... I was just pullin' their collective leg with the first post...as is evidenced by its immediate follow-up.

You know what, Wiz? I would actually be fascinated to see/hear that happen! Further, I would most assuredly tune in. I would, after all the negativity in my posts, lay witness to THE perfect radio station! I believe we ALL would do well to bask in the genius that that station of his would create!
Think about it: all of that station's personnel would have a guaranteed job for life with an oversized salary, benefits and pension. The music would be sublimely perfect with the absolute perfect amount of jock to music to commercial loads! And, the ads? Well? They'd be perfect and aired in just the right logical order!
This would not be another copy of what's out there. No, it would be something all demos could agree on. World leaders would play this station in the background to help solve world peace.
If there will be a "go fund me" campaign to get OC's perfection to fruition, count me in as a donor.
There. The gauntlet has been dropped. Now, let us wait until that glorious presser announcing the launch of this station. Us mere radio types are wide open, ready to be schooled and taught the greatest lesson of all.

Yeah, you're right. The audience of a non-profit community station in the middle of Ontario doesn't deserve the perfect quality of radio that OC could bestow upon them. Instead, let them suffer with the usual crap that he usually complains about that the entire industry is.

By the same token, we'd all be supportive of you launching your own forum where you'd exclusively post your "pearls of wisdom" ..
