Great! A programmer from Milwaukee programming Chicago stations! LOL! So many talented Chicago born and bred programmers that could have taken the reigns.

Before the fairly short stint at Milwaukee Radio Alliance, Gordon was at Mid-West Family in Rockford.

Right. From a small market to a medium market to a major, when Connoisseur has seasoned vets already in house locally. Just Dumb. The Alpha Media demise is still on a crash course with reality.

Hey Rob, have to ask how many local folk or even internal current employees want this. Look at Gordon's responsibilities. You know there are even more that are not spoken of. The pay is not great, when you can work less and make more slinging cream at Andy's yogurt, it is sad.

But I agree, the company is posturing with these format changes and headlines before it comes crashing down.

What would be the reason to pick an out-of-towner? Financial?
