Hmmmm….. They’re taking away everyone I love!
Bill Campbell’s 10-year run providing sports commentaries for KYW radio is over. According to Campbell, the dean of Philadelphia sportscasters, the station said the decision is a cost-cutting measure. Campbell, 85, will still be on KYW (1060-AM) as part of the station’s Friday noontime “Reporters Roundup” broadcast.
I still say it’s senioritis. I mean ageism. Somebody needs to check out KYW 1060′s firing stats and check if there are an unusally high number of 65+ staffers being cut. Suspicious. Is it premature to say class-action suit? Or is it simply that there are a disproportionate number of former KYW staffers being highlighted who happen to be on the grayer side? I still miss Fred Sherman, damn you KYW!
