Recently, a friend of mine left as PD of a major market station owned by
Infinity. He tried for FOUR YEARS to convince management to try different
things. He was rebuffed at practically every turn. Yet, when the ratings
sucked, HE was blamed. Finally he said: "enough!" and walked.
Is that what Program Directors have become? Scapegoats for inept management? I always believed their job was to DIRECT PROGRAMMING!

It's not just him, Kent...I'm sure that 1000 other people here have similar stories....

Uh....yeah.  The president of our board of directors has assumed control over our music programming.  Even though I've been in the business for 45 years and spent 15 years as Music Director for (what was at that time) the third-highest-rated Christian station in America, he thinks he knows better.  "Variety" is what he wants.  Forgetting that the people who like Audio Adrenaline don't care for George Beverly Shea, and vice-versa.  I don't think this station will survive a year doing this -- maybe less.
