Hi!.!.!.I've been working 17 years in the radio industry, and I would advise you to get out now!. Many of the corporations are buying up the smaller ones and are downsizing to automation!. If you want to stay in the industry!.!.!.!.I suggest you become good at automating a station that incorporates news broadcasting into its format!. If you want to work for little money, but get a helluva lot of experience behind a live microphone!.!.!.!.go do a small market station gig!. If you want to work for clearchannel or cumulus, or one of the big broadcasting conglamerates!.!.!.!.get your knowledge of automation into gear!.!.!.because that is all you will ever be doing!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Not at all!
Back in 1995, I met a gentleman who was buying an AM radio station in a neighboring town!. It had gone silent and he was buying it, rebuilding it and launching a gospel format on it!.
He was 87 years old at that time!. And he did it!.
Follow your dream, but keep your options open because the radio industry has no job security whatsoever!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Les Paul (guitar fame) is in his 90s and still playing at a night club in New York city!. I have a friend who started a radio station at 57!. I have a son who was a colonel in the US Air Force and started a flooring business!.
