greg would not stay if they paid him. he is ready to high tail out of there. he told me personally. his exact words were "if larry loves james so much, then why is everyone else getting f-ked.

Huh?

Anyone who has ever met Greg knows he would NEVER utter the f-word.
so much for close friends.

Greg has never used the f word because in gregs career he has never faced a layoff, i think now is a good time to use the f word.

especially since he's above the salary cap

Walker's contract expired. Was he canned or did he decide to leave on his own because he did not get what he asked for in his contract renewal?

Jackie Semien is so arrogant. She left Channel 6 and took a job with charity and she did get canned for letting her ego get away with her when she questioned a new hire. I bet that knocked her down a notch or two. Now she has to bite the bullet and work for lowly Channel 12. I don't see her lasting there. She has a very high opinion of herself. She is NOT all that.

James Brown is a JOKE! How can anyone choose Brown over Greg Bostwick. Has to be salary. Greg has been there forever.

And will be at 6 forever!

Since everyone is talking about layoffs and cut backs, it would be good to mention that KBMT has an opening for a photog. Looking for someone with at least 2 years experience. Ask for Paul Bergen or Darry Chillow 838-1212. Salary DOE.

How much for a weatherman. Even a drunk one

Klein is reporting that Greg Bostwick is staying at Channel 6. Since Klein always gets everything wrong, that must mean that Bostwick is leaving Ch. 6 for sure! Good luck, Greg.

Klein's Friday post says Clear Channel is losing big advertisers because Dana is taking them with him to an AM station that is not even on the air yet. Funny that the people at Clear Channel say exactly the opposite!! They're thilled to have Bostwick, his credibility and the ADDITIONAL revenue that comes with him!

I say good riddens to Jack Pieper and Dana, tired of Jack's bull and Dana's rambling.

KLVI is strong and will no look back.

If the new radio station has a strong signal, Pieper should do well. His replacement at KLVI is weak.

Anonymous said...

Yes, let's post whatever KLVI's ratings were when Pieper was there vs. what they are now. Has there been a ratings book since Pieper left and Dan Gresham took over? Who at KLVI has the ratings? Post them!!! Is your money on Pieper or Gresham?

I quit KLVI 5 years ago when I got XM. Wow, what a difference with REAL radio, not some 100 year old turds trying to hang on.

Boswick said he is definitely leaving KFDM by Halloween.

Sparky said...

Word is Freedom has to make some drastic changes by the end of the year, and yes Bostwick knows this. I think his retirement is going to be a little sooner than 2016 like he thinks. But he told Cooper he is tired of the not knowing and is taking the Valero job, BEFORE Thanksgiving.

Why does the promo for "Fox News at 4" still feature Jim Walker?

Isn't one of the requirements of an anchor to be a raging egomaniac?
