COCHRAN OUT AT CC BOISE

Don Day | March 8, 2007

Jeff Cochran is leaving Clear Channel Boise to take a similar position with Clear Channel in Salt Lake City. His last day in the Park Blvd. studios will be March 14th.

Cochran spent about five years with the Boise radio group.

Update: Obviously I meant March 14th… not January. Grr.

    Current “Jeff-toll” is 31 and counting…

    I think this entire “Cochran” thread deserves a RE-POSTING, as it is BY FAR the largest thread in Idaho Radio News history!

    Read ‘em and weep…

    Be sure to add yourself to the “Jeff Cochran Hall of Fame”.

    Maybe we can have a support group formed…

    “Hi, my name is (your name here), and I was hired by Jeff one day, and fired the next…”

    Someone send him a box of PAMPRIN…

    I guess resignations are being included in this “list of casualties”?
    The problem with this list is the assumtion that none of these individuals did anything to deserve it.

    Rocket, I have to agree with Ken – most of those people
    didn’t deserve it – it was just Jeff’s fickle hand of fate. Or his God complex…. UGH

    Alrighty, Jac…my bad.

    I didn’t think Ian was ever there, but posting after midnight as the coffee has definitely exited the system, definitely has it’s drawbacks.

    Apologies to you too, Ken–what was I thinking…?
    Steve and Ken…???

    By the way, was Steph fired by Jeff too, or was it Deb?

    Now, Ladies and Gentlemen,
    The REVISED “Jeff-toll”…
