Bummer that the only female DJ got the boot. KNRK is a great station; it was what I listened to delivering pizzas, my first year of Uni @ Pacific University.

Bummer that the only female DJ got the boot. KNRK is a great station; it was what I listened to delivering pizzas, my first year of Uni @ Pacific University. One night somebody left Offspring's (which was at the time "new") album containing "Pretty Fly for a White Guy" on repeat all night long. . . the next morning the DJs were laughing really hard about it, talking about how they could get into lots of trouble for doing that. I wonder if its just an inevitable fate of any "independent" operation, to eventually be swallowed by the CWGs (Crazy White Guys)? This snippet from Tara Dublin's post is very interesting: "In my nearly five years at KNRK, I was constantly dealing with frustration when it came to trying to improve on what we were already doing. We had no advertising budget. You never saw a billboard or bus ad or a single TV commercial." http://oregonmediacentral.com/2009/07/guest-commentary-an-open-letter-to-radio-programmers http://oregonmediacentral.com/2009/07/guest-commentary-an-op.... CWGs and the conglomerate-type thinking seem to be inextricably linked.
