All that "has happened" is I decided to try something else. Nothing more. Let's not make radio bigger than it is. And I'm doing okay at it; the bosses are pleased usually and the ratings have been good. If I decide to go back to sports radio, I will return to being what you and many others think I should be.
Congrats on having the sack to take a chance on changing the professional direction of your career. It's not for everyone.
I agree with this sentiment and would never diss anyone for pursuing a different career path, but that’s not what happened here. Mac didn’t move to the HVAC industry to do A/C and furnace work…still in radio.
For those of us that once really enjoyed his first career, we can modify the Jordan example and say it’s like watching Jordan play baseball in a White Sox jersey.
I’m with Spaulding…I’m resentful that Dan elevated Spiegel and we are now stuck with him. After spending x number of years getting a fairly good version of Dan McNeil sports talk host getting negated by the presence of the Tiny One…the return to the score should have been the saving of our local sports talk….instead we got a lemon. I get it…Mac has his demons and I wish him the best of health and happiness. Doesn’t change the fact the market is now completely dead…and that sucks.
