June, 1996<\/strong> (continued):<\/strong> Next stop, Kansas City, where Don Hicks<\/strong> <\/span>had brought me back to the Missouri Broadcasters convention, which presented a special one-day version of my PD Grad School<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I don’t remember very much of this trip, mainly because I was up all night before leaving for the airport in Los Angeles…trying to cope with a suddenly broken laser printer.<\/p>\n

Inasmuch as I had not yet printed out my seminar outlines, that was a big problem.<\/p>\n

Whenever I tried to print, my computer screen displayed the following message:<\/p>\n

“PROBLEM WITH YOUR LASER PRINTER \u2014 CONTACT SERVICE DEPARTMENT.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Of course, even if it weren’t<\/strong> the middle of the night, I probably wouldn’t have been able to reach a human being at the “Service Department.”<\/p>\n

They might as well program the computer to say:<\/p>\n

“PROBLEM WITH YOUR LASER PRINTER \u2014 HERE’S JACK KERVORKIAN’S HOME PHONE NUMBER!”<\/em><\/p>\n

Somehow (I forget the details, but I seem to recall selling my soul to the devil) I managed to get my notes printed before staggering to the plane.<\/p>\n

I spent the day after the MBA session conducting an in-station seminar for Kansas City’s KYYS\/WDAF. I had done a seminar for WDAF’s Ted Cramer<\/strong><\/span> when he programmed WSM\/Nashville; this was my first time working with KYYS’ John Duncan<\/strong><\/span>. Shortly thereafter, John was appointed Program Director at KLOS\/Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

So if you want to become an L.A. PD (not to be confused with the notorious L.A.P.D.), just bring me in to do a seminar for your air staff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
