Dan Harmon: HEY, DID I MISS ANYTHING? -
Kids:
A few hours ago, I landed in Los Angeles, turned on my phone, and confirmed what you already know. Sony Pictures Television is replacing me as showrunner on Community, with two seasoned fellows that I’m sure are quite nice - actually, I have it on good authority they’re quite nice, because…

Things have not been good in the radio industry for many years, but today, October 26, 2011, just might become known as Black Wednesday in the business. The largest of all radio conglomerates, Clear Channel Communications, has been handing out pink slips like Halloween candy in almost every market it infects.

Pictured is Jim Ladd who was perhaps the last disk jockey left on any commercial station of any format that was allowed to select his own music.

He has been a staple of the Los Angeles rock radio scene since the 1970’s and was just as relevant and sharp today as he was when he started.
Jim Ladd was unceremoniously fired today by Cumulus. He was not given a chance to say goodbye or do a farewell show…
