Reason #67,746 why I don't work in radio: one of the most-common phrases during the holidays is "YOU'RE FIRED!"
 
The axe has fallen on long-time Lansing radio personality Rich Michaels, who was the morning man of Citadel Classic Rocker WMMQ 94.9 in Lansing. Despite good ratings, Michaels and Citadel parted ways Wednesday, just ten days before Christmas.

Michaels told Lansing CBS station WLNS "I think everybody's going through this. I'm not special. I actually wish I could talk to people now in a way because I'm in it. It's ten days to Christmas and I don't have a job. Something better will happen."
 
Good 'ol Matt Hanlon, who runs Citadel's Michigan stations told WLNS that the two parted ways because - yep, you guessed it - the station's "moving in a new direction". He did, however, say that his partner, Deb Hart will remain with the station.
 
Ya know, the more I hear about Hanlon, the more I hate him even worse. This is the same prick that decided to move Howard Stern over to 1340 here in Grand Rapids from KLQ, eventually killing that station. Although it's assuring to know that he *did* kill off one of his little butt buddy Huge's affiliates - Muskegon's 97.5 The Champ - this past week, still, pissing on one of his most-popular personalities and not giving a straight explanation proves how self-centered he is.
 
I hope as he gets to unwrap all those expensive Christmas gifts under his tree this year, he'll think of all the hard-working people he's screwed over. Now, he can add Rich Michaels to his shitlist. No wonder why Citadel went bankrupt. Then again, it's assuring to know that Stern's now working for a company that's nowhere near bankruptcy. 
 
Karma. It'll come to Hanlon one way or another. Remember, shortly after he started fucking with Stern and KLQ and lying to their listeners, he had a daughter born with a serious disease. Not a nice thing to say, but then again, there's no way of sugarcoating it.
