A sad but true reality in this modern age of broadcasting. The "mom and pop" radio stations can no longer compete in the big money corporate arena. There was a time when I was seriously considering a career in broadcasting. I was tossing a coin over whether I wanted to be a broadcast engineer or radio personality. But when the rules changed and radio stations started getting bought out by bottom-line oriented corporations which stick to canned format formulas, and discourage individualism, I lost my taste for the talent side of the business. When I found out what a typical engineer was making, that soured me as well. Only those at the top stations in major market areas, make any real money. It's a shame. I grew up listening to some real radio talent (Who didn't have to mention bodily functions every few minutes to get a laugh). I really liked the Drake/Chenault "Boss Radio" format which started at KHJ in Los Angeles and migrated to my area at some really great stations like WFIL in Phila, and WABC in New York. It really was a "dream job" for alot of us then..... Relive some of that time: http://www.reelradio.com Dave "Sandbagger" |

My favorite was CBS Radio Mystery Theatre hosted by E. G. Marshall. When that was canceled it was the beginning of the end of radio, IMHO. |

I was a BE up until a couple months ago. Currently I'm subcontracting audio equipment maintenance with the station, but that leaves me with all the self-employment costs. It's almost not worth the effort. And even the subcontracting may not last because the station is expected to fall within months. I'm thinking about a new career doing a little gold-panning in Idaho next year..... _ Right on! Some serious country up there....you gonna set up a small operation or just take pan in hand? Heck, plan it right, take the entire summer....what a job! |
