Are you kidding? Have I stumbled into DUmmieland? Radio is a business. If Rush isn’t pulling in the advertisers, then its time to go. There’s no room for sentimentality in business. What you did 10 years ago doesn’t matter. Its what you do today that matters.

Perhaps that was not Sugar Pops in your bowl this morning? Maybe the milk had curdled?

WKRP first ep.:
Arthur Carlson: (Andy) Travis, you’re fired!

Mrs Carlson: Young man this radio station is a business. It is not here for your personal listening pleasure.

Andy: Ma’am I know it’s a business. That’s wny I changed the format (to rock)

(She asks him when they can turn a profit and he says it’ll take awhile. Too little, too late! she replies but eventually agrees to give it a try. Andy isn’t really fired. Anyway it brings up a good point. Radio IS a business. So this is big news...but Rush is still a lot more successful than the likes of Air America. In 04 their Jon Sinton predicted that in 5 years they’d have 500 or so stations too...right...)

No, what I meant was if you are dropping him due to business reasons, tell him first, don’t “leak” it to the press.

Do you trust the source to be honest? Could there be an agenda from “higher up”?

"There's no place for sentiment in big business."
