Way back in January I made this posting about Peter Gross who had just been named morning sportscaster on 680 News.
Peter responded some time ago, but for some reason I didn't see his posting until last night.
Fred,
"At a high school reunion, I was told of your kind comments on this blog. Being a man of no small ego, I had to read for myself and since your words were a few months old, I had to scroll through many other submissions to get to the stuff that pertained to me.
I find it all wonderful stuff. Your long term involvement with the media gives you a perspective that few have and it's fascinating to get your angle on this business. It's incredible ( yet sadly, somewhat typical) that a guy like you does not have a mainstream position on air somewhere - what is it about this industry that eats people up and spits them out?
I am so thrilled to be back with 680news and Rogers. My latest tenure with CITY-TV (2000-2004) informed me just what a great company Rogers Broadcasting is (and feel free to read between the lines!).
680News has some terrific people, many of whom I see you are referring to. I really enjoy the concept that I come to work each morning and the only thing that really matters is the work and there are so many great individuals - Paul Cook, Lisa Brandt, Rudy Blair, Scott Metcalfe, John Hinnen, Anne Lavrih, Mike Eppel - who are supportive, creative and explicitly clear about the overall objective.
Which is to make great radio.
Fred - good luck to you and I will be 'subscribing' to your blog on a regular basis."
