Oh jeez. Phil Manning became the station manager *after* The End became irrelevant (unless you count The Real World kids working there for 13 weeks). Manning absolutely did *not* make The End into a powerhouse station. The grunge/alternative (or whatever label you'd prefer) scene in the early 90's did that. Then, when that scene ended so did The End's reign as anything other than a run of the mill commercial radio station. Given that he wasn't even the station manager during their heyday it seems odd that anyone would wax poetic over his departure.

Commercial radio is dead.
