Really?

I don't celebrate anyone losing a job, but I never cared for Monson's insights. Seems like he just took conventional wisdom and ramped up the hyperbole in describing what everyone else already said. Hope he comes out alright.

Still owned by the Jazz, I believe. But managed and operated by Bonneville/KSL.

I actually liked Austin and thought he was funny. Maybe the only funny one

I did too except he didn't have a great radio voice unfortunately

His voice was unique, but it worked for me. Part of his uniqueness.

He broke rule #1: 1. If you sell your radio station, you will probably get fired from it if you aren’t very good.

He'll go back to 1320 and bring them all with him.

Probably true. The radio talent in this state seems to just move from station to
