I always thought one of KCOU's general managers was right to post a memo reminding everyone not to patronize the new DJs they were training.
"Don't say, 'That's just the way we do things around here,'" the note read. That's sound advice for any radio station--or any other workplace.
This general manager also advised DJs not to lead into scripted copy by saying, "Time for some copy," or preface public service announcement cartridges with, "And now, a PSA cart..." More sound advice for even the most freeform radio stations...
