KFOG, But Not 10@10

[RGMike]

  2 or 3 weeks ago, they played the wrong version of Smoke Two Joints, and the DJ (DC?) made some comment about what a mistake he made, and the fogheads let him know, and he wouldn't do it again!

and what exactly is the "wrong" version -- Sublime's?    Seriously, how would it even be possible to play the "wrong" version?  They surely only have 2 versions in their database.

Yes, I'm telling you exactly that.  You might not feel the same way, but it's tradition!

Actually, I'm impressed -- I think Sublime's version is worthless (like the band itself) but I had assumed the "new" KFOG was alternating both versions. The "kids" are supposed to like Sublime, no? Anyway, if Fogheads actually complained about the Sublime version, more power to 'em. Too bad DC doesn't respond that quickly to complaints about, um... EVERYTHING ELSE.

This kid would be okay never hearing Sublime ever again.

Uh-huh. Lots of code in his conversation with Dave Morey.

missed  it -- please expound!  But yeah, I thought that "It's my choice" thing was BS.

Effective when?   Did he give a two week notice?   (or rather, was he GIVEN a two week notice?)   The fabric of the morning show will certainly be different, no more lovable goofball antics from that cuddly lumbering guy.

Today is his last day. He's written another play and will be working with Killing My Lobster, he said.

Instant departure. Hmmmmmmmmm. If Renee moves to afternoon fully leaving the am shift, it'll be a new show. Hell, I gave KFOG my morning show notice a long time ago and it was no 2-week thing either.

Well, you can say goodbye to Peter at the Hyatt tonite for the tree-lighting.    Nice farewell words from DC on the radio as I type. And of course they played his fave band, the BNLs..

I'm guessing Renee continues to do double-duty as the "news person" and they use Metro traffic, which is cheaper than hiring somebody new.

Just saw a post on the KFOG FB page saying it's the end of an era and wishing Peter the best in future endeavors.  WTF?!?! Is he going of his own accord, or is he being downsized?
Eta:  OK, just saw all yer posts on the subject. For some reason the didn't show up as unread content.  Whatev. I thought it was odd not to have any comment on such a momentous change. So what's this about a convo with DM? Details, pls.

Well, he essentially said "I'll talk more, but off the phone".

I wonder how DM found out? From this thread perhaps?

I'm sure that phone call was arranged in advance, bub. More of the ongoing "See? we're still KFOG! (Except when we're not)"  meme.

Went to the KFOG "Airstaff" page to see if they'd removed Peter yet (he's still there)

http://www.kfog.com/Programming/Airstaff.aspx

But was surprised to see that Dred, who I assumed was quite young, looks older than I expected (he looks a bit like Joe Flaherty of SCTV) and Rockwell, who I assumed was older, looks younger than I'd thought.

DC looks like a vice-principal.

Meanwhile, that new Decemberists song is very REM.

LOL @ DC.  So true.  I would've thought Dred was younger too, except that he keeps on mentioning about how it's great to be back at KFOG -- I looked it up and it turns out he was last there 1990-1993

Probably because it features Peter Buck! (As does "Down by the Water.")

The Portland connection strikes again.
