Way to tell it like it is.

What a shame and what a fucking low life management team to not even inform the staff.

I could never picture Kermit the Frog sounding angry.

What is the back story here?

I would be surprised if they actually podcasted this.

Actually, you can rewind the videocast so if anyone knows how to rip videos, go to it

Why is Finfer giving Quigs a pass? The guy is his fucking partner and didn't tell him. Quigs looks like he's going to cry.

Maybe they threatened to not pay him if he told or something?

Why the fuck would they even tell Quigley? What kind of horseshit move is that? Tell everyone or no one.

I don't know much about the station, but Finfer said Quigley is "management". Is he the program director or something?

You tell Quigley and then call a meeting with all involved. You don't tell him not to tell anyone and then let everyone else find out from a columnist.

2:20 is where it gets interesting.... sorry ben, you knew it was a risk when you signed up. apparently he doesnt want to work for wgn ever again

The video stream is great stuff. Finfer is pissed and Quigley has no clue what to do about it. You can really feel how uncomfortable he is once Finfer starts going off.

Not that I don't get why he did it, but it's not like he did any ground-breaking radio in his anger's wake, nor did he probably do himself any favors either.

While he probably didn't talk himself out of a future job, it's not like some PD somewhere would hear the tape and be so moved as to throw open the studio doors as well as the coffers to offer him the moon and more because of his inspiring fiery invective.

I completely get it, I don't condemn it, but it's not a laudable reaction.

Probably hard in the heat of the moment, but you've got to be careful about what you say on the air in that situation. He may have burned a few bridges.

which is why he said he had a suspicion this may happen but he didn't think he would find out on twitter.

Exactly. Not sure why that is so difficult for some to understand.

He knew it was coming. Maybe he thought they could make it through a full calendar year. At least he has a job through the holidays.

Does Quigs at any point say or imply that he recommended to management that they tell the rest of the staff? He may feel bad but it seems to me that he could have at least tried to stand up for them.

Also - who do you suppose leaked the story to Feder? Somebody knew this would come out today.
