It started on 3/10 when Feder reported Michaels had issued a list of 119 words http://www.rbr.com/radio/22267.html 2010-03-12T15:26:21-06:00 2010-03-12T15:26:21-06:00 Maynard Meyer Hey Bob...Relax! (Or should I say Robert....I'd expect someone working for "public radio" would rather be called Robert than Bob) People named Bob work in real radio. http://www.rbr.com/radio/22267.html 2010-03-12T15:55:51-06:00 2010-03-12T15:55:51-06:00 Aaron Well, somebody's a little butthurt. Grow up Robert! I used to work for Randy during the Jacor heyday and there is nothing heavy-handed about this if you knew anything about how he operates. Here again we have somebody working in the fringes of the media acting like he has a clue when he doesn't. It's just like when Clear Channel released a list of songs that they recommended to avoid playing in the days following 9/11. It was done out of an effort to be sensitive to the events but ill-informed and agenda-driven nuts tried to paint it as a "bannned song" list. Before you write some bitter, whiny critique ya might want to actually KNOW the subject matter and the context. Or else, you look like a typical no talent ********* blogger. Oh and by the way Robert, just because someone is a blogger doesn't make him a journalist. Get over yourself! Sorry to burst your bubble but a bunch of marginally intelligent people who know enough to get their own URL and write a bunch of garbage is NOT the wave of the future for the media. http://www.rbr.com/radio/22267.html 2010-03-12T18:17:28-06:00 2010-03-12T18:17:28-06:00 Dave Mason Robert-there ARE more important things to write about, but let's be real. If the CEO of Toyota knew how cars were built, would they be in the shape they're in today? If (fill in financial institution)'s CEO had worked a window, he/she could have saved his/her institution. Randy's one guy who started as a nighttime DJ..and worked his way to CEO of several great companies. If Randy has a fault, it's a lack of tolerance for mediocrity. That's not a fault. More CEO's should have a TENTH of the knowledge of their business that Randy has of his. Check out Randy's competitors and see how they communicate with their staff. Then check their balance sheets. 'Nuff said. http://www.rbr.com/radio/22267.html 2010-03-15T07:19:54-05:00 2010-03-15T07:19:54-05:00 Larry Fuss I've issued similar memos to my staff over the years - don't say "the temperature outside is...", "the time right now is..." (as opposed to the time 5 minutes ago?), etc. Micro-managing? I think not. Too often the folks in the trenches aren't aware of how silly some of this stuff sounds on-air and need to be made aware of it. Randy is merely trying to make the on-air product better and should be commended for it. http://www.rbr.com/radio/22267.html 2010-03-15T12:09:31-05:00 2010-03-15T12:09:31-05:00 RickRowland I want to apologize to Mr. Michaels for my previous (now removed at my request) remarks in this comment column. They were not founded and inappropriate. http://www.rbr.com/radio/22267.html 2010-03-15T20:27:39-05:00 2010-03-15T20:27:39-05:00 Jack Hey Robert----I enjoyed the first piece on this issue and I find 'micro managing' by a CEO to be ridiculous. Hang in there...stay on it. I would like one person to make me understand how a radio station can operate without using the words "alleged, allegations, and guys"...HUH?? Why not just ban the call letters while he's at it.? http://www.rbr.com/radio/22267.html 2010-09-17T20:56:25-05:00 2010-09-17T20:56:25-05:00 wow account Have you had problems with spammers?
