What a lot of us are forgetting is that MOST people get at least a 2 week notice when their job is being terminated so they can make other arrangements. These guys got notice on a Sunday not to come in on Monday!!! I think the fact it changed to Gospel is such a contradiction because what they did to these men is unchristian and crappy at best. Whether you like a particular host is one thing but feeling bad that men with families are scrabbling to find employment and hopefully not lose sponsors in the process is another. What 1210's management did with a decision that had to be in the works for months is crappy at best!

I agree with the spirit of what you are saying, but I am sure that the agreement all of the hosts signed with the station, as independent contractors, had a clause in it that stated they could be let go at any moment. The hosts knew this was a risk they were taking going in.

ehhh .. i think you are thinking about it the other way around when an employee gives two weeks notice .. usually, when there are layoffs .. you are called in the office and let go ..

It was NOT 1210. It was clear channel. and Songy,Ott,and Jordy PAID to be on the air. Its NOT like they were employees of the station. Could they gave thenm more notice?? Sure. But that biz is cutthroat. They knew this going in.[The hosts that is]

I disagree. MOST people don't get a 2 week notice when they're being fired. It's just common for people to give their employer a 2 week notice.

(Especially salesmen or other people who have inside knowledge and you don't want them stealing other secrets on their way out)

A little difference here, the guy being fired has a microphone on your own airwaves.

Who really knows the fine print of their contract? Probably a legal issue with the 12:01 notice.... my guess....
