I have been downsized and fired. I know your emotions. You have every right in the world to be angry. Here is the truth: it doesn't help you to disparage your former employer.

I haven't heard that any of the top folks in the publicly held radio companies are saying, "Our companies aren't doing well. I've made a lot of money, so I'm going to work for a greatly reduced salary and benefit package until we can turn this around. That might save some jobs in my company."

"I’m energized by the opportunity to work with the talented teams here to build on those strengths and help these businesses continue to evolve and grow."

“When Stuart Epperson and I founded Salem more than 50 years ago, we could not have imagined the reach and impact it would have today."

"It was an incredibly proud moment, but also a very bittersweet one."

"Of all the accomplishments along the way, I’m most proud of the people and relationships. I’ve always believed that leadership is ultimately about people."

"This promotion is a recognition of everything she has already built and a reflection of our confidence in where she will take Mediabase next."

"With our plan of reorganization confirmed by the court and the FCC approval process well underway, we are positioned to emerge from Chapter 11 with a stronger balance sheet to capitalize on future market opportunities."
