Thompson got paid out an additional year of his contract because unlike the others he wasn’t an employee of Cumulus. His “contractor” status ran afoul of California law, but GM Doug Harvill made it happen when the local business manager wouldn’t sign off on it.
They do better at covering male pattern baldness than Mike Mibach, even though that ain't saying much. Mibach might consider a backward baseball cap....
I don't know how he did/does it but Brett is a survivor. He survived three rounds of layoffs/ firings at KGO and two months before they pulled the plug he became afternoon anchor at KCBS when Jeff Bell retired. With that luck.he should be playing the slots in Reno every weekend.
Bret and Nikki got wind of the news room blow up before it happened and preemptively approached management about staying on. They’re thick as thieves. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that they aren’t popular with the veterans. Bret does decent long form reports, but golly gee sucks as an anchor. *smooch smooch* Fake it til you make it!
Mark isn’t a genuine person, regardless of stage name. He has repeatedly said that he “grew up with Jewish friends” and always feigns ignorance of the holidays and traditions. Both of his parents a Jewish. His regular guests and pals are Jewish, so it makes it super weird that he goes to such great lengths to deny his heritage.
