Catholic Guilt Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 Howard resigns last night over a mistake that wasn't his fault.
Alaska Darin Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 PC is killing this country. No way I'd have accepted his resignation. His superiors are pussies.
Beerball Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 Stuupid, stuupid people. Kids hear much worse every day on the radio. Hope the guy ends up OK.

ExiledInIllinois Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 PC is killing this country. No way I'd have accepted his resignation. His superiors are pussies. 731605[/snapback] I am not disagreeing with anything in this thread... Maybe his superiors wanted him gone anyway?... Don't look a gift horse in the mouth... Just because he is acclaimed doesn't mean he would stay there forever or people might actually want him to stay there forever. Not that I am in control or anything. Somebody tenders their resignation, why not let them do it... Move on to bigger better people or things... Or... Maybe they were just pussies.
Lurker Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 Maybe his superiors wanted him gone anyway?... 731636[/snapback] Sure looks like it. Nobody gets out of a TV contract over something as inconsequential as that. More likely there were heated words (or worse) off camera following the incident that forced management's hand.

With Sports Radio and ESPN around the clock the job has lost some of its importance. I know Howard did some radio in Charlotte too.
Catholic Guilt Posted July 30, 2006 Author Posted July 30, 2006 Apparently we was well liked at the station. Some "onair talent" are neighbors and we chatted this morning. They think the new news manager is a spineless woman who did stand up for him. Now everyone is looking over their shoulders and moral is sinking faster than the Bills playoff hopes at midseason.
TheMadCap Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 No worries, Charlotte still has John Boy and Billy.
LevysEraII Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 If the President can drop the "S" bomb, so can Chuck Howard.
The Poojer Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 didn't he go to fredonia? I seem to recall him about the same time I was there Howard resigns last night over a mistake that wasn't his fault. 731581[/snapback]

More likely there were heated words (or worse) off camera following the incident that forced management's hand. 731641[/snapback] A very similar thing happened here in Austin, a few years ago, with a sportscaster....he used an s-bomb (not even an f-bomb!) when he screwed up a promo for the late news...the techinical people showed that promo, instead of the corrected one...it aired during a rerun of Star Trek The Next Generation...most got a chuckle out of it...the tv station fired him...if I remember, he tried to sue, but reached some sort of settlement...if I remember, this guy was fairly young, and not as recognized as Howard, but still...sort of silly...there are things much racier on commercial television, any time of the day, than someone saying "sh--, I screwed up, lets' do that again!"...
