He did some streetside interviews for that gig awhile back. It's good to see that he's landed on his feet.

The people who hired me were all gone within 90 days of my arrival and the new regime had a different vision for the radio station than I did. It's not the first time that has happened in radio and will not be the last. However, I cannot sit here and bash CC as a company because I had a very positive experience with them during my 6 1/2 years in Cleveland.<BR/><BR/>All that being said, I am very excited to be a part of Entercom and look forward to the many challenges that lie ahead. This is an outstanding company and the best enviornment that I've had the pleasure of being in.<BR/><BR/>If any of my old Ohio radio friends want to reach me, drop me a line at danmasonradio@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-71720666184991368202007-03-17T09:45:00.000-04:002007-03-17T09:45:00.000-04:00From what I understand, Mason was given no freedom...From what I understand, Mason was given no freedom to implement the changes he would have liked to at WHYI, unlike at WAKS, which he built into what it is today.<BR/><BR/>If anyone can right the sinking ship in Sacramento, Dan is the guy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-63548519979938778112007-03-17T09:42:00.000-04:002007-03-17T09:42:00.000-04:00'Mason and management were not only on the same pa...'Mason and management were not only on the same page...they weren't reading the same book.'<BR/><BR/>What??????<BR/><BR/>How does one accept a job and get hired without programming philosophies<BR/>being nailed down during the job interview process?<BR/><BR/>Radio...gotta love it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-86530704543390287012007-03-17T04:56:00.000-04:002007-03-17T04:56:00.000-04:00It's not hard to believe that someone would run sc...It's not hard to believe that someone would run screaming from Clear Channel management.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-9612899497431779892007-03-16T22:37:00.000-04:002007-03-16T22:37:00.000-04:00wow....two NE Ohio Masons leaving as PD and gettin...wow....two NE Ohio Masons leaving as PD and getting hosed in another market.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
