New ESPN 1420 Programming Lineup Begins on Monday

[snote]

There's no doubt, when the time comes, everyone will miss Jay. But, life goes on. I grew up two houses down from Ron Gomez.

100 block of Claymore?

I like Greg L.... He came in and made a concerted effort to learn local sports... especially Cajuns I thought.... I love Jay even though he manages to ____ me off a lot.... The guy is a good sports mind and an EXCELLENT link to all things Cajuns... Good lord if they had to lay soeone off.. Do we have to listen to Dairy Queen stories... Wrestling stories.. with a whole bunch of self aggrandizement kicked in over Jay???????????

I am still perplexed as to WHY some full-time were kept over the ones let go.

With all due respect to Jay and Foote, the why has everything to do with money (salary) and nothing much at all to fo with what they brought to the table with their programs and talent. TSM just wants to stay on the air and generate billing while cutting costs.

Just went through the same drill at iheart Media. If you're short on cash, you cut costs...

I think this is a media question...

Are bumps considered endorsements?

And if you are short on talent, no one will listen like me. With no listeners, advertisers will decide to also cut costs. Oh well, there goes the station.

Revenue from the other TSM Lafayette stations keep KPEL on the air. It would be hard to believe, that outside of UL sports broadcasts, that KPEL has a long list of exclusive to KPEL advertisers. IMG and TSM probably have a revenue share plan as far as UL Sports, but on a day to day basis saying that ad revenue exclusive to KPEL is keeping it on the air is PROBABLY not happening.

That may be true, but the ears have many more options than a talentless am radio station, and actually whatever hip hop channel is on. People rather their own music.

They would still be overpaid with the pay cut.

[31Ragin97]

is this off their lower amount from previous cuts, or had those cuts been given back?
