CURRENT AND FORMER OCCUPATIONS
Matthew had always felt the need to prove his identity outside of the Cory
family. He didn't work at the family business, Cory Publishing, until 1998
although he would occasionally sit in at meetings as an interested party.
Matt left KBAY at the end of 1996 and
joined Jake McKinnon as owners of The Bay City Herald. He and
Jake frequently disagreed over the paper's direction and even their
own roles. Finally a flip of the coin settled that Jake was the publisher
and Matt the editor-in-chief. In 1997, Matthew gave his half of the
paper to Amanda.
In late 1990, Matt founded D & M
Productions with Dean Frame. D & M (which stands for Dean and
Matthew) is a music business that promotes singers. Its star
performer was Dean Frame, a singer. D & M was a very successful
venture. It closed in late 1993 by mutual agreement. It had outlived
its purpose as Dean and Matt were ready for other projects. Matt
returned to the music business briefly in 1998 with C Squared Productions.
In 1994, Matt became co-owner of
KBAY, Bay City's television studio. He made many of the managerial
decisions and enjoyed a lot of success.
In 1998, Matthew formed the short-lived Cory Med, to distribute Shane Roberts' new medicine.
