In Reply To: KOIN never gave Dan a chance. You were already bitter. You already had contempt for the direction the profession had taken you. When KOIN hired Dan, you'd already decided he was going to fail. Instead of giving him a chance to succeed, you set out to bring him down. Nice work. Now you don't have to try anymore. Go back to thinking inside your box. At least the rest of us will have a chance at stomping you back into the #4 place you so richly deserve.
Message: Despite the Dan bashing... I used to work him in Albuquerque. Dan had a great sense of humor there... I actually liked him very much. I was the bastard child... he inherited me... and eventually replaced me. I've never been bitter about that because this is the biz. I knew for a long time I would be out, but for the most part, he treated me well. Sometimes we wouldn't see eye to eye, but I respected the way he motivated people. Dan is a smart person, he cared about his community and it showed on the air. Too bad Portland didn't go his way. I don't know how he treated people at KOIN, but as one of the people he eventually dropped from his shop, I am still glad I had the opportunity to work with him.
