I am reminded of the last episode of the Mary Tyler Moore Show where management fires everybody – but Ted. Anyone in broadcasting knows this was NOT sitcom license on the part of the show’s writers. It is all too typical and we’ve seen it once again at WDEL.

Not only does WDEL hire Mascetti (at a premium rate of pay), somebody Watson can beat, but they hire Allan “Fatso” Loudell, whom they had roundly trounced in audience ratings at his old station. Either management is incompetent beyond belief or they have some kind of death wish.

Jerry, Fatso pushed you out at WILM because you were too good. He could feel superior to Watson but not you. In radio, the cream sinks to the bottom.

Small time wing-nuts like Booker and Jensen run radio. They have political blinders on and make decisions based on what agrees with their fascistic views. Beyond that, WDEL is owned by a family that owns a right-wing newspaper and coal mines and were active in the bund back in the day. In a way, it’s amazing you got through the door at that klan meeting passing itself off as a radio station.

Where have you been? I missed you. I did some checking and discovered that the maximum secruity mental institution you must have been in had extended your stay; pending a full recovery. I certainly concur with their decision.

First of all, you were actually half right, which is a step up from your usually 100% wrong MO. I was fired….even though they couldn’t justify it according to the finding of a full hearing by the Department of Labor. WDEL said I quit; which was found to be a lie by the Department of Labor.
But, your rationale that it was because I had “no talent” was totally wrong.

I am happy to report that the Jensen show has gone in the crapper in the ratings period after I left. They went from a 2.4 to a 1.7, and even to a 0.7 in the targeted market of 25 to 54 years old. You may not understand radio jargon, so I’ll explain…..it is as if 10 people used to like Alex; but now 2,000 people hate Alex. Get the point? As for my talent, or lack of same….let me pit your opinion against that of a highly respected international radio consultant from New York…..the consultant rated me the best on-air talk show host at WDEL, the only one who had a future to go further in the talk show field. She also put the following quote in writing when she recommended me for an interview at ABC talk radio in NYC:
“Gerry Fulcher is an original…with a full life experience and humor….Gerry will attract audiences”.
I think that quote kind of shoots your “no talent” theory in the ass, doesn’t it Alex? She was hired to evaluate the quality of the talk shows at WDEL.

That same consultant mentioned you, by the way. She did not use your name, but I know she meant you, when she said during one of the training sessions: “Dont forget, many of the people who call talk shows regularly are seriously distrubed.” That pretty much sums up your participation doesn’t it, Alex, my man?
