No, not the syndicated morning show.
KSFI long-timer Bob Nelson out. KSL reporter Tom Callan out. KSL nightside producer Chase out. Two sales people out.

Oh, that is extremely sad to me. Bob is Maria Shilaos' husband so now they will no longer be working in the same building. Plus, to me, isn't Bob "FM100" - I mean he's been there almost the longest out of current staffers. At least they are not facing this situation: blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/thebigblog/archives/159718.aspAnyone know if this means more cutbacks coming to the Deseret News? They're up in circulation, but still 5 to 10K under what I remember them being when I subscribed/lived there in 2003-2005 (I canceled the paper after a time).

No word on Des News.
Yes, Bob IS fm 100. Tragic. Maybe he can end up at The Breeze.

Ohh... I thought B'ville was still on the positive side of things. Sad that they are letting folks go. Reality settles in on everyone, I guess. Good luck to all.

Times are tough!! We had to let 4 people go here at The Lake...We are now down to 4 people doing it all..Sales are down 75% and now with Music folks wanting Radio royalities wow will that hurt almost $800.00 a month is what we figure. Looks like we may go satellite delivered from10 pm til 6am. Might have to use my college degree in Enviromental Engineering and start looking for some water jobs and or Wastewater because you know what they say.....Even if the times are hard people will still flush a toilet Did I mention I took a cut in pay (ouch)!!! and added 50% more work load DSPete

deseretnews.com/article/content/mobile/1,5143,705287344,00.html?printView=true Good write up in the D. News. I'm glad Lynn was able to figure out how long KSFI and Bob Nelson have been paired up. Pretty sad that the top cluster overall and top Adults 25-54 has laid off 5. (and the top TV station, 8) Makes you wonder what is coming to the little guys like Millcreek.

At least maybe the recession will be over by the end of the year. That's assuming the government doesn't screw it up.

Too late on the government screwing it up... I think Obama has lengthened the recession. Bush caused, Obama lengthened... I'm a moderate
