The story of a man fired from a radio station

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

The story of a man fired from a radio station

Post by Force Commander »

John Ziegler was let go from KFI-AM in LA. He doesn't seem to be holding back either.

Wow. I got one and a half pages in before the sympathy disappeared and the "what a pathetic loser" feelings took over.

If you can't be arsed reading the whole thing, here's the cliff notes:
Waah, he's threatened by my superior talent. Waah, he has a fat wife and he's jealous that I'm dating younger and more attractive women. Waaaah, he stopped me promoting my show during his shift and management wouldn't force him to do "the right thing". Waaaah, he stopped saying my name at the end of his show. Waaaah, none of the other hosts wrote to me when I left.

Good lord, what a moron. It's radio. We've all been hard done by and all have axes to grind and stories to tell. Suck it up, mark it down to experience and go work somewhere else.
So sayeth His Royal Highness King Spike; greatest broadcasting talent of his generation.

Wow, talk radio is no more real than "reality tv". Who would a thunk it?

Who is this guy. Who are the hosts who hate him? I want to care...but I don't because the only name I know is Bill Handel (Handel on the Law, right?)
