Chris Van Wagenen announces AJ departure

Chris Van Wagenen to depart AJ

This editor is saddened to learn that Chris Van Wagenen will be leaving AJ on July 18. His business column will be difficult to replace since he is by far the best columnist on AJ staff. His predecessor,Ray Westbrook, was barely average. AJ continues to struggle with low readership,overpriced ad chart and continued cozy relationship with "big government" that prevents investigative reporting on government waste and corruption. Van Wagenen penned a classic "radio rubbish" editorial that told the ugly truth about how corporate radio is truly garbage radio.Van Wagenen will return to Houston and probably find a few old "Oilers" emblems still around even though the team is long gone.

This editor bids farewell to Chris Van Wagenen,you deserve better than the "ugly AJ"!!

The real tragedy in this is Logan Carver,Bill Kerns,Terry Greenberg,Stephen Beasley,Karen Brehm and Elliott Blackburn will still be poisoning the AJ with their copy.

A Real Damn Bummer!!
