Jon,
Perhaps I'm being a little harsh here, but your response seems a bit hypocritical to me. I understand your response, but it still seems hypocritical.

Your show and M&M's show specialize in discussing rumors and speculation, even when those remors and speculation involve athletes as young as 16 years old. Nothing is sacred on your shows as you talk about things like the details of sexual assaults involving young men, coaches drinking habits, the overall competence of coaches and athletic directors, etc.

However, when the topic involves a personnel matter at your own company, you give the proverbial "no comment" response. It doesn't seem like a two-way street to me.

I don't think it's realistic to expect a full fledged conversation about the situation from Jon at this point.

I don't think it's realistic, either. I'm just making the observation that KXNO talk show hosts discuss other people's dirty laundry on the air every day, but when it comes to their own dirty laundry it's "no comment".

Their response is expected, but it seems hypocritical nonetheless.

I'd blame KXNO more so than the hosts. The hosts won't comment on this because they don't want to get fired. They discuss other rumors because they know they will not get fired even if they are wrong.

They spout the BS rumors to get people to listen, but they keep the other rumors to themselves to try to cover their own ***.

That is where we are with KXNO but what's to be expected from a station owned by Clear Channel??

I agree, but that's not really Jon's fault. More like the mgmt of the station, McCrea and whomever.

JDM has his marching orders.

Actually, the only thing that would be hypocritical would be for them to either be upset and or to try to shut down CF for ust alking about it, speculating and passing judgement. In the case where someone is terminated, there are pretty strict laws on what you can and cannot say about the person who was terminated. Not to mention, if any lawsuit were to ever come about against the company. Not only does that include upper management, but anyone else who is employed by the company that let the person go. Being as the companies business is radio and public broadcast, I don't find it the least bit hypocritical for them to not be talking about it. At the very least, they don't want to give anyone any fuel to bring up a lawsuit against them.

KXNO hosts talk at length on the air about other persons who've been terminated from their jobs, but when it comes to their own employees who've been terminated, it's interesting how that discussion is absolutely off the table.

I UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY all the reasons why Jon Miller and his fellow KXNO employees say "no comment", but it's still hypocritical in my opinion.

Okay, I'm officially getting off this dead horse now.

I can understand where people are coming from. We want to talk about some of it, because its a pretty big deal. But personnel matters have corporate rules that I have to follow if I want to keep doing what I am doing.

As for the airing of others dirty laundry, I try to remain aware of topics like this, and I think in the nearly three years I have been on the air, the amount of 'dirty laundry' that I have aired is incredibly small. I don't want to say non-existent, because what some folks feel falls into this category, I don't know. Probably depends on your definition.

As long as I have listened to you Jon, You leave that off your program. I believe that you refuse to talk about other programs on your radio station period. Take it to that show and lets keep this show to what we love to talk about, Cyclone football, and Cy's beloved hug to me
