EVA - Unless things have changed dramatically, radio producers do not need to have a lot of technical production background. Some stations required a 3rd class license which is not hard to get but most of the bigger stations do not even ask that of the producers. Producers generally secure guests, work with talent on format and topics, run interference with station management, work with technical support for effects, bumper music, etc., sometimes line up sponsors and work on promotions, always look for opportunities to boost ratings and improve the show.
Everyone has to start somewhere. I don't know this young man but if he's got some smarts, is willing to listen and learn, and wants to do this kind of work, he can learn it and be good at it. Jim Bernstein Fulton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eva Young Darin Brota is a good guy - and Peter McLaughlin made a smart hire when he hired him. But for Janet Robert to hire him for a radio producer job is just goofy - wouldn't she want to hire someone who had actually done production before? -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
