I worked there under the Malrite ownership-- Metromedia was really 
before the Buzzard took off.  I can tell you that none of us made the 
big bucks-- I was paid substantially less than the men (another story 
for another time), but even the men were not rolling in dough.  We 
got tons of perks from the record companies and met many many 
celebrities, but basically, it was the staff-- led by the committed 
Ops Mgr John Chaffee, PD John Gorman, and a hard working airstaff 
with lots of good ideas-- who made the station happen.  We made the 
money for Malrite, it seems to me...
