More opportunities (to be disappointed?)
I'm thankful for having a connection to one of the companies where I'm trying to apply for work. I couldn't get a return call from the company's GM last week, but a friend who works there gave me the contact info for another employee who could possibly help me.
I had a few more cursing fits at work today (thankfully none while I was on the air.) It amazes me how broadcasting companies (local and national) buy up tons of stations, then complain about the extra expenses/workload or they don't hire enough staff. SoCo Radio now operates eight stations in Colorado Springs and Pueblo. I've said this before about Clear Channel/iHeart Media, and I'll say it again about SoCo: If you can't afford to staff your current station(s) at least half of the time, don't go buying more stations. That would be like me getting three more credit cards when I owe roughly $5,000 on the two I already have.
