  Happy 4th folks.  Unless some local brain job opens up, I have filed for my SS and have retired from broadcasting.  Tending to the dog kennel biz.  A 160 foot commute to work. 

  In case you are wondering, there are no openings at WYIN.  The last project was to make it fully automated and unattended operation. Half or more of the staff are gone from a few months ago.  My assistant will be busy.  For sports and news remotes, he has to run the sat truck, use the on board computer to set the satellite gear at the studio, unless its a PBS transponder in which case the automation will catch the feed, and uses LOGMEIN to look at the FM and TV transmitters. There is an auto dialer if the TX goes off the air.  no MC ops, no transmitter ops, no maintenance.  Everyone is looking for work elsewhere.  My guess, the 8 TV and bunch of radio will operate from Indianapolis with some kind of Internet return link if any.  EAS set on auto.  Traffic person has a VPN from home so she can work 24/7 keeping the Titan automation on line.  No one there to answer the phones, videos and tapes likely will be consolidated to an outside service to fulfill membership purchases. Production has 3 syndicated program series and what ever sales they can manage to generate. News is down to 2 cameras and their broken ones will not be fixed. They will have to share with Production.  Not sure how long the sat/production truck sales person will be there, I was getting it more jobs than he was.   

  1963-2010,  long enough to see it all.
