No one as young as Mike Peterson leaves market 3 to spend more time with family.

He couldn't have been let go because of ratings. Even PPM numbers are REALLY good for 'USN.

It was about money and about a friend of a higher-up who is incoming.

I feel bad for Mike and his staff who is probably sh*tting in their pants right now after hearing about CBS selling stations and CC's Aloha Trust, wondering what will happen at their station.


: Peterson To Leave WUSN

:
: In a memo to the staff at CBS Radio country WUSN (US 99)/Chicago, VP/GM Dave Robbins on Tuesday (Aug. 12) announced that Mike Peterson, who programs US 99 and AC clustermate WCFS (Fresh), will be leaving to operate a family business back home in Oregon.

: "While the decision to leave was very hard for Mike and we will miss him greatly, the combination of this business potential and a return home to Oregon were simply too powerful to ignore," Robbins said.

: Peterson's last day at CBS/Chicago will be Aug. 29. Robbins will absorb programming duties for both WUSN and WCFS while a search is conducted.
