Ran the gamut of roles really, pulled a regular air shift for most of it but also spent nearly half the time doubling as a new director for a couple of suburban Atlanta stations (got a couple of wire service Stringer of the Year awards that way), which came after I was a fairly successful MD/PD for one of the better Southern Gospel stations in the state.
Eventually got out of the station side of the business after going through 3 straight ownership changes with 3 different stations & went to work at an ad agency via my wife. Still did HS pbp for another 6 years after that though, an fill-in gig for a friend that turned into one of the longer interim stints ever.
But other than that, nah, I wasn't a radio guy  |
I had my head up my tuner.
I started out 20 years back down in Cocoa, FL. Ended up in upstate NY & home in Detroit doing either overnights or afternoon drive mostly on R&B stations. For the last decade I've been a board op in NYC. I have tried to get out several times & they pull me back in.
