If SNR was going down the tubes, why would they have hired Tony Bruno? He didn't come cheap. With radio personalities, you never know. It could have been a cost cutting move, he might have pissed someone off, you just don't know and SNR surely won't say why. While I was never a big Scott Wetzel fan, I surely don't take enjoyment in him losing his job. Radio is a fickled business.
