Q107 Further Response

It just gets better..here is the latest...
Hey Ross,
Thank you for your email note. We have received an inordinate amount of
negative email concerning the Rolling Stones live broadcast which we
aired last night on Q. You may have received a note from Q107's
Assistant Program Director, Michelle Dyer, or Andrew from Club Q...but I
got thinking..."why should Michelle or Andrew be the one to take the hit
on this. While we did not come right out and say we were doing a
simulcast from the Phoenix, we were perhaps vague in the way we
positioned the program. I take full accountability for how this show was
presented on air. Here's what I've learned. Q listeners are extremely
passionate about their music, and at no time should I take this for
granted. It's not like we aired bootleg Wham concert. Music matters
here.
Having said this...here's how I plan to take responsibility. I have
asked John Derringer if I could be named tomorrow's Tool of The Day. He
has kindly said yes. So, tomorrow tune in at 8:20 to hear me take my
lumps on air and apologize to our audience.
Regards,
Blair Bartrem
Program Director
