I called one of the stations this morning and spoke to a receptionist. I asked “what was going on last night in the middle of the night?” Instead of replying, “what do you mean?”, she said “everything is under control now”. I think they’re hoping everything will blow over without any complaints going to the FCC.
Having spent a lot of time in radio, I wonder if this was a disgruntled, and possibly drunk, employee gone over the edge — maybe having been told they weren’t getting a three-day weekend!
That sort of thing is pretty common in radio ... What a nutso business! :-)
That's exactly what she told me. When I said I had worked in radio, she told me he was ok. I said that I had said a prayer for him, and to let him know that. She sounded pretty sad about it.
