Woman fired
from KFMQ
Ann Perkinton, KFMQ radio's only fe
male disc jockey, was fired Monday morn
ing and, she said, it was because she refused
to go to work on Women's Strike Day
(today).
"They (KFMQ) fired me a half hour
after my support of the strike,'' Perkinton
said. "However, they (KFMQ management)
tried to tell me I was fired because I wasn't
following the format."
Perkinton said she had asked tire KFMQ
management if she could play only
women's music on her midnight to 6 a.m.
shift Oct. 29 in an "aware but at work" ef
fort to recognize the strike. She said she
was told that was "going against format."
"I really wasn't expecting this (refusal)
to happen," she said. "I had been trying to
take the path of least resistance.
"It was a fight to get the job to begin
with," Perkinton said. "It's been a constant
struggle."
"I was hired under false pretenses," she
said. "I was told I would eventually be
moved to different hours for more money.
The raises promised us two weeks ago have
been moved to January.
"I was paid a straight weekly salary of
$115. I haven't asked anyone, but I can
safely say I'm the lowest paid disc jockey
there, and I've been there the fifth or
sixth longest of anyone," said Perkinton.
KFMQ has five full-time and four part
time announcers.

KtMQ, according to Ferkinton. She said he
is quitting because he can't understand the
limitations put on employes, and that he
supported her in her fight.
According to Larry Morphew, firing
Perkinton was not a feminist issue. "She
distorted it and turned it into one," he
said. "I told her three or four hours prior
to her dismissal not to announce the
women's program she had planned, but she
announced it any way."
