Hank FM Gives Carie Jones Her Walking Papers
100.7 Hank FM let another of its staff members go Friday — this time it was midday host Carie Jones.
Back in September, the country radio station also canned two members of their sales team.
With a station that’s plagued last in the ratings, things don’t look good for the NewCap entity.
A source at the station tells ChrisD.ca, “It’s unfortunate that due to a lack of leadership that so many people have been affected.”
UPDATE: November 21 — Carie sent the following statement: “I will miss all my friends at the station immensely. I am extremely grateful for the time I spent at NewCap Radio, and for everything I learned there, and I’m looking forward to the next step on this incredible journey.”

What’s funny, is I was walking downtown and passed the Hank Hummer and I thought Hank’s probably paying more in gas and parking every month than they’re earning in ad rev. Perhaps the next vehicle should be a smart car and they can keep their talent on-air.

Ah yes… Newcap and “lack of direction” go hand in hand. It’s a damn shame.
