All The Excess! presents "Big Movers™," sponsored by U-Haul - "Move with us - leave your creditors in the dust!"Rumor control: What former executive of a famous satellite radio company is pissed off that Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett died on the day of his big career-defining announcement? Is it true that he wants to re-publish the press release early next week to get the news coverage he missed due to the passage of the two celebrities? And how many programmers within the company to which he's headed are miffed that their upward progress has been stopped by a satellite radio guy, when they were assuming that they were the farm team?
Big mover of the week: Sam "The Sham" Ferro renounces his United States citizenship and hoofs it from the wakeup slot at CHR KUPU/Walla Walla to do nights at the mighty C-109 (CICK)/Toronto.
Settling for lateral moves: "Average" Josephine American leaves Eugene conservative talker KIYO and crosses the street to liberal talk KNAA, where she'll be known by her real name, Arlene Specter. On the Gulf Coast, Biloxi's WMMU says good-bye to PM driver Calvin Sobriety, who ankles to the same shift at country KHMD (K-Humid)/Galveston. And Peter Principal, PD of Kansas City's classical powerhouse KYYM, takes the same role at Norfolk's Bach-bangin' WYMP.
How the mighty have fallen: Lou Zerr, most recently OM/PD at Boston all-news WVO, moves his family of seven to Sevierville, Tennessee, where he'll don the headphones for weekends at country WUXI and pray for a rich relative to die.
