Radio Station General Managers

I've worked for some great GM's, and not so great GM's.  This story is about a not so good one.  It was in the 1990's.  I had spent 5 years at this station.  I started out as the production director ending up being the program director.  We enjoyed high ratings.  The station was sold, and a new GM came in.  Most of the time when their is a management or ownership change we pretty much know we're done.  In this case they seemed to want to keep us.  It would've been easy to just dismiss me saying they need to make a change, and go in a different direction.  This GM decided to use sabotage.  This included covering up existing ads to unplugging the station ice cream truck so all the ice cream in the freezer melted.  After I was gone this GM continued to ruin the station.  After 3 bad rating books, and an alleged sexual harassment case involving his program director both of them were shown the door.  I was not the only one who got this treatment.  As far as I know this man never again managed any other radio station.
