     Masters: Praying for a miracle?

From various sources

TALK RADIO NETWORK's AMERICA'S MORNING NEWS has named MATT RAY as its new permanent host.  RAY has worked as an anchor at CUMULUS News KGO-A and Talk KSFO-A/SAN FRANCISCO and has also worked at KXL-A/PORTLAND and KPAY-A/CHICO, CA.

Mark Masters, TRN CEO, blames TRN’s financial problems on its former ad sales partner, Dial Global, which TRN sued last fall, alleging it violated antitrust laws by conspiring to monopolize spoken word syndication. “All of the TRN companies have been severely damaged by the Dial Global/Westwood One conduct,” he said, causing TRN to “make wrenching internal decisions and to take painful internal actions,” adding that TRN’s companies “have now been forced to reduce as many operating costs as possible."

Masters is facing legal threats from various former on-air people for claimed breaches in contractual arrangements. He would of course have to prove his claims against Dial Global as they relate to his alleged inability to make payroll to attorneys representing former TRN talent long before any resolution of TRN's suit .

TRN’s scaling back comes during a difficult period for the larger network radio space.  According to Kantar, network radio revenue tumbled 19% in the second quarter after a 15% first quarter decline.

Moist and tender

Tonight Dave Oliva and Jay Santos butcher up a report on the Thanksgiving traffic with Jay running up and down the shoulder of the freeway on his Harley stopping at his "checkpoints." 

Ted Bell and Bill Bruford of Bruford's Turkey Farm argued over how each was going to roll out his commercial. Meanwhile David G. Hall liked the idea of the men combining their messages since Ted's is "We want to put our meat in your mouth" and Bill's is "Our turkey's are moist, tender and willing."
