Local CBS FMs clean house
Pittsburgh:It wasn't a great day behind the scenes at the local CBS cluster - FM only - in Green Tree. Five staffers were released from their duties yesterday. According to Tom Taylor, WBZW (93.7) PD Ryan Mill is on the list as was WZPT (100.7) Promotions man Brandon Davis. Both B-94 and Star lost their sales managers and WDSY (107.9) sales manager Cristine McKenna will pick up the reigns. The fifth staffer to be let go was the administrative assistant to the Vice-President of Programming, Keith Clark. Clark will assume the duties of the programming for B-94.
Readers’ Forum
Does radio even matter anymore? All of these stations with the exception of KDKA radio can go off the air and I wouldn’t care. Sure, they can cut people left and right, but that doesn’t change the stale music and overabundance of annoying commercials. I perfer to listen to my iPod in my car and only listen to the radio for news, traffic and weather. The radio has gotten so boring (music) or so biased (talk) that it isn’t fun anymore. No wonder why radio is dying a slow painful death. It isn’t just Pittsburgh – it’s everywhere.
