[BC] Radio Station Content

[Andy Soule]

Not to worry, you are in good company with a number a leading organizations 
that take a bad rap from a vocal few simply because they are the biggest. 
Programming is the easiest to criticize.  Anyone heard Air America's 
newscasts?

Please stay on the list.  Your perspective is valued and important.  Things 
have changed and there is more to come.  Small markets have probably taken 
the biggest hit, but I blame 80-90 for that.  The sales folks haven't been 
very good at making radio's slice of the pie bigger.  That slice need only 
grow a little bit to justify shiny new gear and more engineers to polish it.

CC has some engineering issues in my little corner of the world, but most of 
the other companies are in far worse circumstances.  I am optimistic this 
will get better with time.

MY gripe is with those folks who say there is a shortage of engineers. 
Perhaps there is a shortage of qualified guys who are willing to work for 
$30,000.  Any company willing to compensate a qualified person better than a 
plumber or Starbucks manager will have no problem finding engineers.  Until 
then, sorry to hear you've been up all night working on that thirty year 
old, 20kw rig alone...Would you like cream and sugar with that?
