Listed on the OAB website Bi-Coastal is hiring in Eugene for PD's....take a look www.theoab.org

BC has several openings in You-Gene.....

NOT BASHING ANY SPECIFIC COMPANY IN THIS NEXT PART
ONLY A PERSONAL OBSERVATION

....many stations had/have the mandatory Selector experience requirement. I always felt it was something that could easily be learned in short order, and they were overemphasizing it as a "must requirement" UNLESS you would be the only person in house who knew how to use it. Sorry there was no play at home demo model to learn on. Only place I was that used it, those in the know weren't willing to train anyone else in it's use. Thought it might be some secret government code breaking program. More than likely it was just my lowly status as a staff serf among the radio GODS in this company that forbid hourly employees access to that portion of the station....
Even went so far to offer free use of my services
to the local company that utilizes it, in exchange for some training. Seemed like a good deal all around, but no takers.

MY OPINION is that great people management skills were a higher value, but I think many of us have been through places where the PD/OM was a Selector Wiz, and a horrible communicator and manager. Boils down to what is really important to GMs, and regional VPs. Here's a thought. If all that's missing is an equipment skill, Hire a PD with all the other skills, and have someone on staff show them how to use Selector. Usually an MD in house has a grasp on it... A PD with good management skills would probably delegate Selector duties to a staffer anyway.....

You can train equipment use and set up, people skills are much tougher to teach.

Oh well, that's water over the highway........

Best wishes to all Eugene applicants....

(Jeff you moving cross town?)

Lots of ads must mean a recent mass exodus?

BTW RCS has tech support for Selector, one phone call away, assuming BC still pays for tech support on their Nexgen system. I would think they still are... but... ???

From what I have learned Chris Sargent has or is leaving the building

Care to expand more on the above post? True or False?

I saw an ad for KFLY PD, but you were supposed to send stuff to Chris Seargent. I figured he just wanted to be able to focus more on his OM duties and less on programming KFLY.

the story has Chris leaving for the midwest (market #104-Fort Wayne, Indiana) to program a country station..supposed to be gone July first.

This "All Access" story is about the Medford market but it does mention KFLY and thought it was interesting enough to post:

---------------Bicoastal/Medford Hires PD, Morning Co-Host---------------
