Under our article 4 LAY OFFS AT CLEAR CHANNEL OF ASHEVILLE
Stompers reported that the production manager had been laid off.
The "correction" is - the promotion manager was laid off.
We apologize for the miss-print.
Ashvegas picked up on our story and this is what some of their comments are saying -
1. They laid off Sam Steele at Rock 104.9 as well, he did the 7-12am m-f shows I believe. Now all they have is the manager and the kid that did a weekend show. That's good thinking...

2. Regarding the Clear Channel cutbacks: The Production Director did not lose his job. There were, however, cuts in the promotions department. I'm sorry when anyone loses his or her job in radio..or any business for that fact. It just sucks. Careful what you hear from the Carolina Stompers. They are not an official news organization (although they would like to think of themselves in that realm) and rumour shouldn't count as the truth. We're talking about people's jobs.

STOMPERS REPLY - The Carolina Stompers has 1 full time reporter and 1 director. We are currently looking for one more reporter. On February 27 we will launch our new news format with Stomper TV. Our reporting is fair and balanced. Our commentary is conservative.
3. All part-timers were let go as well. The "promotions" manager not the production manager was let go.
4. Please...oh please Jason, don't start using Carolina Stompers as a source. They can't seem to get much right. Just this past weekend they published a headline that made it seem as though Matt Mittan would be fired from Clear Channel. While it's true that they did not come right our and SAY that Mittan was about to be fired, but they used trickery and a clever headline to make it sound that way. Not sure if you listened or not but Matt is still running his mouth on the radio.
That's just poor journalism. And this is not the first time Carolina Stompers has published flat out wrong information.

STOMPERS REPLY - If at any time you would like to challenge the Carolina Stompers conservative opinion, we welcome it. If we make a mistake, we will check again with our sources and make the correction just like other media outlets do.
