Ethics. Try To Have Some.<\/p><\/div>\n

Ethics. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Try to have some.<\/p>\n

Some years ago I heard about this guy who was working his first radio program director job at a well-known, medium market “heritage” talk station.<\/p>\n

His previous job: Editor for a radio trade publication.<\/p>\n

He ran ads in “the trades,” inviting talk show hosts to apply for work with his station.<\/p>\n

And he responded to the job applicants with a form letter that said something like, “You’re not quite ready to work at Radio X. But for $250, I can coach you to improve your talent.”<\/em><\/p>\n

At best, that’s a conflict of interest.<\/p>\n

At worst, it’s fraud: Using his employer’s name and resources to troll for side business.<\/p>\n

By the way, under his “leadership” the station’s ratings plummeted. I’ve lost track of the number of stations he worked at, bouncing from market to market.<\/p>\n

I just now checked to see where he’s working today.<\/p>\n

He’s a “consultant.”<\/p>\n

Well, that what he says. Oddly, his website doesn’t mention any current or former clients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
