Before people begin some sort of dark conspiracy theories about the disappearence of the WVLG morning man, here's a few words from somebody who's been there..

I have spent 37 years in radio and as the theme song on WKRP says "I got tired of all the packing & unpacking..Town to town up & down the dial". That's the job's reality. One of my instructors at broadcast school referred to on-air work as the world's only white collar migrant job. It's a correct observation.

Also..most broadcast managers will not allow somebody who's given notice to have their last day or few days on the air. For good reason. Experience tells that the temptation is far too great for somebody with an open mic who's not coming back to work the next day (whether they have retired or moved on to another job) to vent their spleen on the air. So except in very rare circumstances, it doesn't happen. They are just gone. I have had it happen to me, and as a station manager I have enforced it on others. That's just the way it is in the radio business.
