I don't feel like a "victim" in the situation, largely because I saw it coming and did nothing substantial to prevent it. This was a choice to allow it to happen and while I have some small amount of disappointment... it is only a small amount. It does give me back 8 hours of my weekend after all!
And for the record, "Xero" didn't play "Give the Jew Girl Toys" or any other song on FNX. All the music on all major commercial stations is pre-programed by a Music Director and the DJs (especially part-timers) have no say in what is played and only the control to change it enough to keep the commercials running on time. That's been a reality of radio since I started working in the field outside of college. I could have gone in and played what I wanted, but I would not have stayed hired. heh
I guess I should also clarify one other thing... For the most part, I'm still more busy with movie promotions and club spinning than I had been with radio. Again, I regret the loss of it, being a part of life for so long, but I've got plenty to keep me busy in the meantime.
