Live 105 dj

Anyone know if Live 105 hired anyone from that post saying they wanted ppl w no dj experience? With very little pay? Wondering who would even consider that job other than a kid who lives at home? It’s so insulting to actual radio people.
 
I'd rather work for iHeart 80s Plus at 103.7 and yes, I spent many years working for their sister station WiLD 94-9!

Interesting. I heard Audacy hires you at that rate and then you also voice track a bunch of other stations. Sounds like they want cheap labor, have one person do the job of four.

Which has been fairly standard practice for more than a decade. Big bucks for not much work went away a long time ago in radio.

On the other hand, the job itself doesn't require one to put in 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week. So there's time to do other things.

Keep in mind there are people doing this work for free on their home-brew internet stations. Getting any money with health insurance is a big step up.
