That's why I left radio. It is ALWAYS all screwed up and it doesn't matter who owns the station or the network. Sooner or later you'll get an idiot for a boss, and that will be the end of you. Why get up at 2:30 AM for that? Ugh.
Don't worry about Mel. She'll be just fine.
My wife was a news director for a radio station. I lived through all of this already.
