Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

Dear Mr. Pastor,

All managers of any business are under pressure to create larger profit margins. Nowadays, more are under pressure to create a profit of any kind. This is a very delicate balancing act. Deciding which areas to reduce spending on and which areas to try and increase sales is what makes you ,and or I, a good or bad manager.

Your decision, to place Dan McNeils head on the chopping block, is a foreshadow to your own soon to come dismissal.

Are you aware of how delicate the scales were balanced between WSCR and ESPN in this town? With the current roster of on air personal that ESPN has, Dan Mcneil was the driving force of your station. MJH was your premiere show and brought in other listeners that might enjoy Silvy and Waddle, then tolerate Mike Tirrico to get to MJH and then stick around for The Show.

If Mitch Rosen is any kind of manager, he scoops up McNeil and buries your station to the point, you will need to answer some questions at ESPN Corporate when you deliver the lowest ratings in the last 5 years.

Sure, I like Tom Waddle, but if I am dumping salary he goes in a second. He has too many other interests to be a fan favorite on a sports talk show. Second, I would have probably got rid of Harry. Let's face it, this was always squeezing the round peg into the square opening.

I understand this was done to increase your bottom line, but I believe in the long run, your bottom will fall out and the grave mistake you made will be exposed.
