It was another rough day in the radio business. My job is safe, but there are 21 colleagues of mine who can't say the same.

@jasonisaacdrums Dang that sucks! I used to pledge to WNYC, but that was when I listened 24/7, before I found WFMU. Now I rarely listen, as in turning it on for maybe 5 min, once a month.
So as I was getting into WFMUin 2017, I saw a posting of some of the executives salaries and the largest on air personalities salaries. That was it for me.
