Ratings do strange things to radio managers
Lets face it he rocks and is a blast to listen to. The ratings(or lack of in his absence) proved it

Yeah, I would buy the story. My current boss worked for a MAJOR radio station when he was in college. Ratings will make a station swallow a lot of crow to bring someone back that the people love.

Well, I don't bite my tongue, I say what I want to say and screw with who I want to screw with and if management can't handle it, then they need to find someone else to rock Seattle. People are tired of having to settle for boredom. I figured that if they weren't going to keep me here at KISW, then another station somewhere would want me. After all, I've been fired 3 times in a row for the same thing and subsequently re-hired in a bigger city making more credits. So for the last 3 1/2 months I've been flying all over the country interviewing and auditioning with other great radio stations. However, none as kick-*** as KISW. I even got offered a gig at the station that fired me before I came here in Tampa.
And all the time, the insurgency of pissed off Rockaholics got bigger and bigger, inundating the phone lines and e-mail addresses here at the Rock. Mr. Clean, the schlort who fired me fell under some major pressure from the corporate pin stripes to do something and he had no alternative other than to eat some major crow and ask for my return.
This took some serious soul searching on my part and when I thought about it, there really was no other answer, but to come back to where I belong in my life right now and that is in Seattle on the greatest, most kick-*** rock station in the entire United States of America. K-I-S-F***ing-W! Victory! The people vs. Shclort. The people win! Thank you, people. I appreciate your support and I vow to continue to f**k some s**t up. World.

Putting "Steve Rock" in Rickers slot was a sure fire way to watch the ratings sink...but Ricker knew that.
Bout time they changed their minds though a few top heads rolled the same time he was "re-hired". 99.9 in the afternoon will be much better, I quit listening on a regular basis after they 'fired' Ricker.
