Ok, I promise only one post for this topic: Evan Cohen former AAR exec

What do you guys think after watching "Left of the Dial"

Rightwing mole?

Bad business man?

Overzealous about taking the radio station to new heights?

1. I'm glad you tried again, LOL

I'm interested in hearing opinions on this too.

2. I watched it

He could of been a RW Mole but I would say he was just a scumbag business man who screwed people over.

5. I'm not sure if I heard it right or not, but was he overstating how much

money AAR was getting for ads? Like when HP signed for a $6,000 contract he told his people they got $16,000?

8. Yep

That's what I got too.

At the end it said that he claimed that there were other investors coming in but after he started bouncing checks it scared off the other investors.

3. Dunno. Maybe, he allowed the RW to intimidate him?

:shrug:

And, he got scared?

4. Didn't he cite cultural difference

Was he referring to the "culture war" that cons like to spout about?

6. I heard that

He did say that. So I don't know. I didn't catch the very beginning (about the middle I'd say) and heard him say that. Maybe it's a bit of both. Maybe he was sent there by someone to take down AAR. I'm glad though they over came this because I adore AAR. :) It helps me stay sane.

7. I have a pretty long drive in to work and back

and I, like you, use it as my sanity fix. I recently posted an Air America sign with the local AM station numbers in my car window. We get lots of tourists where I live, and I thought it might be helpful to anyone surfing the channels. And any new customers.

9. my first thought while watching

was that it was strange for someone to say he has the financial backing, the station gets off to a roaring start, and he immediately starts bouncing checks?

that makes no business sense whatsoever. i think he was in on the ground floor so he could help to make sure it never got "off the ground".

someone that savvy doesn't turn tail in a matter of weeks, ESPECIALLY with a proven good product.

and of course, o'lielly was very quick to predict it would bomb. hmmmm......

maybe the du dirt diggers should check into the money connections of mr. cohen. what, and who, has he been connected to in the past?

10. I think Cohen should be forced to tangle with Skittles

Wouldn't be pretty to watch, though...
