Shannon's not allowed in the CMG building because of his felony gun conviction, it has nothing to do with him getting fired.

Well, he has done plenty of other shows from there.

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Bubba is giving Cowhead WAYYYYY too much credit for getting him fired from Cox. Why can't he understand they just didn't want to do business with him anymore (even though he was bringing in giant ratings)?

[Drew Garabo]

Cpt., with full awareness of your disdain for me, I still have to say that you are making some strong points this morning.

Carry on.

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Well, he has done plenty of other shows from there.

I'm sorry, what I should have said was he has to get clearance in advance every time he comes to CMG corporate and this last time he couldn't get it.

[milkman]

, that mental image is highlarious of them staring at each other and scattering like roaches.

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

So now Shannon is trying to get back with Bubba? C'mon man

Well he apparently did when Chaz was there....if that is true. The texts looked legit to me, but who knows.

Thanks Drew, I appreciate that.

That may have been, but he just said that Shannon is still trying, which sounds insane to me.

[milkman]

Holy shit, when Jimmy Carter comes out and basically says Obama has been worthless...that is a new low.

[Drew Garabo]

Thanks Drew, I appreciate that.

No sweat. Your insight is directly on target. For the record, I never meant to state or imply that ratings "don't matter." However, ratings are accumulated for the sales team to sell advertising time. Revenue is far more important to a station's livelihood. Station chemistry factors in as well. Take it easy.

[FishMuskys]

[milkman]

double that!

The inmates taking over the asylum is always a great business model.

[milkman]

The only thing about the ads and such is I have no clue how those contracts are done, how long they are, what constitutes a reason to rescind, etc.

I can't see the Bone keeping top paying ads with their failures.
