Nope. Didn't dispute it at all. Different numbers, different demos. Still having a blast.

Numbers mean nothing. Just ask Spice.

All you need is one vengeful person up the chain and poof you're gone.

I wouldn't go so far as to say "nothing," but you make a good point. While good numbers can give you some protection (and bad ones can lead to vulnerability), there are far more impactful factors that can bring an abrupt end to one's broadcasting career. I learned early in the game not to get too wrapped up in ratings. When they're good, I'm happy because my bosses are happy. When they're down, it honestly doesn't bother me that much as they'll typically rebound. 2 months into the new lineup & our afternoon drive show has held the #1 ranking for our key demo. There's certainly room for growth in all demos, but everyone seems happier and that's what matters. Revenue is far more important than ratings when it comes to career longevity.

[SJ]

just so you know - I've marked it on my calendar that you thought I raised a good point.

I'm glad you guys feel like it's a happier work environment. I'm also kind of glad that there might be a bit of a radio war going on because with those, the fans generally win.
