Back on target, it's such a great mug shot. IIRC, when CBS posted their copy of the warrant, only Mandy's ("Amy") name was removed. The house address and Russ' driver's license number were still included. Crack coverage by the same company that owns the station Russ is on.

Just a heads up, Russ is expecting to be on the air again starting Monday.
Somewhat related.
P&K are sucking mornings on The Bone, BDH will be filling middays through the 22nd, and the new midday show is: Ben & Skin. Yep, Gavin proves once again he really doesn't know or do jack as 105.3 gets another The Ticket refugee to suck on the airways. Thank god The Bone is almost solid rock music from 11-3 until Russ comes on.
P&K on The Bone? Sucks for them.
The Bone, that is...
The Bone is starting to put together a better rotation of music now. I was a bit shocked when I'd heard bands like Velvet Revolver getting a spin on the station. The ironic twist is that Cindy Skull was talking about how early music from the 90's should get more playtime, since it's now old enough to be considered Classic Rock. Somebody needed to liven up the music they were playing, since the Eagle came back around.Quote:

Live 105.3 jumped formats today from Alternative Talk to All Sports as 105.3 The Fan. Great, another lame sports radio station in Dallas. The Ticket and ESPN sucked enough without adding to the pile. Jager is still mornings, dumbasses Ben & Skin have afternoons, everything else is brand new. Russ Martin, Big Dick Hunter, Loveline, and Tom Lykis have all been kicked off without warning. Weekends are probably scrubbed of their regular shows, too.
I guess Mix, The Bone, and The Eagle are now all I listen to outside of CDs.
wow, that is a super steaming pile of bullshit
Russ briefly talks about the situation.
Quote:
Yesterday Live 105.3 switched formats. It’s now mostly sports talk, and it’s called The Fan. With the switch, afternoon drive ratings juggernaut Russ Martin was let go. He was kind enough to answer a few questions via e-mail:
FrontBurner: Was yesterday’s format change a surprise to you? When did you learn of it?
Russ Martin: Surprised? Not really. Got an e-mail from a friend over the weekend that KLLI had registered The Fan website. They officially told me Monday afternoon.
FrontBurner: When is or was your contract up?
Russ Martin: They indicated they’d honor the remainder of my contract, which runs through April of 2011. So, no worries. Very odd, though, to be paid seven figures annually to do nothing. Gonna sit back, relax, and get me some of those Dr. Shoal’s jelly pads for your feet.
FrontBurner: What did station management tell you about their decision?
Russ Martin: They said nothing more than they were flipping to all sports talk and apologized — many times. I told them I didn’t perceive this as a personal attack and to make sure my money showed up every two weeks.
FrontBurner: I assume you can’t comment on any other station you might be in talks with. But would you ever consider doing mornings again?
Russ Martin: As far as other stations, I haven’t heard from anyone. My e-mail inbox exploded yesterday and had to use an auto responder. That way every e-mailer at least got something.
