Yesterday I was “let go” from my job at Bonneville Phoenix. Not because I was bad, not because I don’t know what I’m doing, but because of the economy. Which I find particularly offensive since I only have said Good Things about The Economy. I never called it’s baby ugly. I never even flirted with its’ whiny wife, The Government.

Seriously, though, I am really sad about this, but I’m not angry. Bonneville is the best company I’ve ever worked for, and it will not be easy to find another company like them. No other media company contributes as much to their community as they do. No one treats their employees as well. They give you a 401k and a pension for crying out loud. Plus, they are arguably the most innovative company in radio, practically giving birth to HD Radio themselves despite representing only a blip in the industry. Of course their New Media initiatives are innovative as well, easily more than any other radio group. (it seems the only other innovative New Media initiatives in radio, take place in Canada. I have no idea why. Must be the clean air.)

KTAR has the finest journalists in Arizona, possibly the entire United States. And of course The Peak, the best radio station in Arizona, hands down..and some of the coolest people you’ll ever meet. I am so proud to have worked with them all.
