They’re Asking “Why?”

And I don’t blame them.

 

This is not a uniquely American problem, but as with many other things, it’s exaggerated here.

CEOs/COOs/Presidents of Radio companies fire the people who create the content, saying they must, because of economics, but they very rarely seem willing to cut their own compensation.

When the CEOs are making between $620,000 and $754,000 and in charge of making decisions to eliminate scores of employees making between $50,000 and $65,000 when do we cry foul?

If you haven’t read the story, it’s HERE.

And this is not unique to public radio.

Our largest consolidated radio companies have been doing it for decades with the numbers on compensation even more skewed.

I’m just not certain how you justify that disparity to yourself.

I don’t think I could, could you?
