Another ex-KUSC staff member that went on to do bigger and better things with his life after leaving LA. I saw Bob Bishop in Albuquerque, on my way to WETS in June 2005. I hope we finds another gig somewhere, very soon. Larry Mayer Program Director WETS 89.5FM Johnson City, TN Very sad news.

Commercial radio is all about consolidation and lower costs (instead of increased local programming, which is where it should be). The owners who neither live nor work in the market don't especially care what outcry there is from listeners -- as long as the numbers remain. And if they don't, well then it will be time to change the format. Unfortunately this is a story that's been played out across the country in commercial classical radio.
