| Conyers’ expensive travel plan ‘last straw’ for 910 AM |
| 2017-03-25 |
| [DETROITNEWS] Monica Conyers’ attempt to book a stay at a luxury reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,... hotel on the company’s dime led to her departure from her radio hosting gig, according to a company memo sent Thursday and a staffer familiar with the details. While the memo from Kevin Adell, founder and CEO of the Southfield-based WFDF-AM (910), The Word Network and WADL-TV, lists seven grievances against Conyers -- including such issues as "being obnoxious in the hallways of The Word Network and partying down like (it’s) 1999!" and bothering Adell when he was on vacation with his family -- it was Conyers’ attempt to book a stay at the Peninsula hotel that was the "last straw," said John Mattiello, director of marketing at The Word Network. Conyers wanted to travel to Chicago to attend the Saturday funeral of Carolyn Rush. Rush, the late wife of Congressman Bobby Rush, died at 67 earlier this month and, Mattiello said, was "a big fan" of The Word. |

| #5 she left her Sunday 1-2 p.m. hosting gig on 910 AM Superstation, which started in September, due to burnout. I mean, WHO wouldn't be burnt out actually working a full 60 minutes (less ad breaks) on a Sunday? Oh, the huge manatee! |

| #3 Conyers, through attorney Daniel Findling, disputed the idea that she had been fired on Wednesday, saying she left her Sunday 1-2 p.m. hosting gig on 910 AM Superstation, which started in September, due to burnout. “She’s taxed. She’s being stretched in too many other places and can’t devote the time she wants to for this on-air business,” Findling said. “She flat-out said ‘Listen, it’s time for me to move on. I’ve got to focus my energies where I’m making money.’ Sometimes people are sensitive to that.” So much to read into... |

| #1 I thought she was still doing time for public corruption. Something to do with influence by a contractor. |
