One Of The Good Guys......

While it was ignored by local media, Federated Media's Rob Kelley was released by the company over a week ago. Holding the title of Operations Manager, many inside the broadcast industry, locally and nationally, credit Kelley with the programming prowess that made Country-formatted K105 Federated Media's most successful radio property in terms of ratings and revenue. 

FedMed's wholesale jettisoning of staff, talented and otherwise, does little to quell the persistent rumor that the group of stations is for sale and the folks calling the shots in Elkhart are making their bottom line a little more attractive to prospective buyers. 

It is interesting to note that K105's website still carries a banner ad linking to a personal endorsement arrangement with K105's Kelley and Bussick Orthodontics. One has to wonder......with the loss of Rob Kelley, does Rob get to keep his teeth or does K105 get them back?
