If Jerry Dimmitt thought vacation meant vacation with pay, he would have been wrong. How cold was Baine to make him take a leave, which is akin to being laid off? Either way, Baine was out no money.

Jason’s comments about Jim Baine are bang on. I’ve worked for a couple of radio station owners over the decades that have treated me like ‘product’ instead of a person. Owners like this often get their deserved payback eventually. This KAMT host sounds like he really needed a break – possibly due to stress overload, a personal crisis or mental health issue. What goes around comes around…
I know we are not supposed to make snarky comments, but Bains is one of the bad guys. Herb Smiles used to attack him on the air at KAYE, Puyallup. I guess when JFK got shot, KMO was the only station that went on with their normal programing as if nothing happened. I hear from others that Bains was a real bonehead.
