Legendary insane broadcaster Lee Abrams has left XM Satellite Radio almost a decade after helping to found the company. He’s taken up a position as Chief Innovation Officer at embattled media conglomerate, Tribune Co.
I’m not so sure how this will work out, given that Abrams has little to no experience in the journalism world. However, I can see how Tribune would be desperate enough to gamble on Abrams pulling a miracle out of his hat, given their struggles as of late. My gut tells me that Lee’s time may have passed though. This was a man that once told our radio station that we needed to airdrop a million dollar bills onto Giants Stadium in order to grab the attention of our listeners.
…right.
At least he can’t do much worse than the hapless Cubs.
