General Managers Subscribe to comments to this posting

Someone asked me last night about my GM's. If I have been hard on management I didn't mean to be because often I was trying or pretending to be part of it. The best way to judge my general managers is not during the stress and hyper-activity of the moment but in the feeling you have 10-20-30 years later.

I have good memories of a man named Stan Stynicki, the GM and weatherman! at KAUS-KMMT-TV in Austin. He gave me a shot.

Deane Johnson and Harold Greenberg WERE both my GM's at KDWB but I will always think of Deane as the PD who gave me the shot and Harold Greenberg as the manager of the stations in Washington State.

U100 was a big part of my story and Mike Sigelman trusted me and we rode that plane all the way down together. Jack Nugent was good to me. I have (believe it or not) fond memories of Bill Johnson from the first station in Modesto. For just a bit Bruce Markman was my boss the second time around and I have no complaints.

Wow! I began this thinking I'd only name a few and say the rest were assholes. There is a truth here. Looking back on my colleagues of 29 years I have so many more positive memories than the other kind it is daunting. After all this time, 96% of the people I worked with are in my brain all warm and fuzzy. Who would have thunk it?
