[BC] Digital vs new

[Douglas B. Pritchett]

And that's another of my pet peeves. There is no 'training' ground for 
new talent anymore. Many of us started by hanging around and pestering 
someone for a part time job. Then we would work our way up from, say, 
Hattiesburg to Memphis to St. Louis to Chicago, then maybe NY. But now 
many small market stations offer no entry level jobs. Talent, if you 
want to call it that, comes in the form of card-readers or foul-mouthed, 
mean-spirited "stars" who could care less about their craft. They answer 
to managers who are better at counting beans and kissing corporate @$$ 
than serving their communitites. Radio was alot more fun when Imus was 
drinking........
