[Kzyxtalk] KMUD vs. KZYX

[John Sakowicz]

So Marco, check it out. The GM position at KMUD, where I now broadcast my show, is open (job description is below). And the job pays $42,000 a year. At KZYX, the same job pays $60,000.


Why the difference?


Why does KZYX pay 33% more than KMUD?


Same job. Same market.


Actually, the GM at KMUD has more duties.


Go figure.
