Good idea from Twitter/Reddit: donate some money to AT on behalf of the memory of Zane with the FBHW show. https://www.reddit.com/r/fbhw/comments/462ka8/lets_donate_to_at_childrens_fund_in_honor_of/ www.atcp.org/Donate

I hate that Zane got fired. I heard from another board member that it was because he spoke negatively about a local business, who obviously had a lot of clout. I don't know for sure thought.
On another note, I sure do miss this place!!!

This is purported to be the segment that was the cause of Eric getting sacked. It was removed from the podcast, but somebody saved it! Provided to me by another member via Allyson: yourlisten.com/donyfilmix/UxMmY2Nj#I remember this segment. I didn't think anything about it at the time . . .

Yup, saw it linked on Facebook and sure enough 2/4/16 Segment 8 had been taken down. Such a shame. I hope he finds his way back on air somewhere, I really don't want to have to join Twitter.

That was pretty mild. Someone got their panties in a bunch. That arena shouldn't have that much clout....

If the clip is infact the issue, then this is all a big episode of Butt Hurting.
The subject of the story was Zane and his inability to count, he told the story of Whipple Dick McDelta Plex to set the stage and add more humor.
Fuck them, (we allowed to say that still?) Fuck them up their stupid asses.

It would be my guess that this situation is the result of several like incidents. This was probably just the straw that broke management's back.

I had no idea he had been gone for a week. It was the first thing I saw when I logged on to Facebook this morning... Well, if 11am/12pm is morning. Zane was one of my favorites of the show.

Hey, everyone. I miss you guys. gee dee, this is such a bummer.
Sadly, I don't think even a trillion signatures on a petition will do anything at all. Once a decision like this is made, it's done. I agree with Allyson--Zane was probably on a short leash and this was just the final straw. Remember, it was a comment that he made that cost them a station in Texas not long ago. And there was that time a couple years back when he disappeared--IN THE MIDDLE OF A SHOW--and Free Beer said "Zane will be back in a week." The only explanation we got was "he's at masturbation camp."
He came back exactly one week later. I have always assumed it was a suspension because nothing else made sense. I figured that they would talk about it one day after enough time had passed, but they never have. Granted, it could have been a family emergency, but that doesn't smell right. Anyway, enough wild speculation.
Eric Zane got me my first radio job at WKQZ. He told me that he had put in a good word with the PD and that they wanted to talk to me. The experience was surreal. I walked into the interview sweating like Chris Farley, I was so nervous. I met Connie, the Assistant Program Director, who sat me down in her office, gave me a brief rundown of how they did things, and then took me on a tour. Then she asked, "Can you start this weekend?" I don't think she even asked me a single question.
I was about to give Zane credit for the way he must have really talked me up. I really hadn't realized that he thought so much of me. But I haven't thought about this in many years. Now, as I write this 25 years later, it has just occurred to me that they didn't give a shit. It was a weekend overnight shift and they were just looking for a warm body who knew how to crack the mic, who would follow format, and who wouldn't burn the place down.
Still, though, Eric chose me to give the reference to out of all the broadcasting students at CMU. And he had my back other times, too...like the time he made me feel better when Jerry Henderson, the radio manager at Central, was all up in my grill. Eric stood behind him, making "he's a drunk" hand signals. lol
Eric was exactly the same then, in person, as he is today on the air: obnoxious, hilarious, hard to take in large doses, and with a true heart of gold underneath it all. Man, I'm going to miss him on the show. I have a ton more to say, but I'm not gonna lay "War and Peace" on you. [Edit: whoa, sorry, looks like it is "War and Peace," after all.]
Don't worry, though. I truly believe Eric Zane will rise again. I feel for my old friends Chris and Gregg, too. I guarantee you this is hitting them hard. But they'll get through it. If people give it a chance, it will still be a great show. Eric will be fine and the show will be fine. Just not together.

There should have never been a demand for an apology. Dude is a pussy.
"I'm offended!".
Too bad. Eff off.

Nothing from today's Segment 17, but they talked about it a little on yesterday's. Not much more than they already said on the radio, but you could definitely tell that they were upset and frustrated by everything.
