How Long Does VKO Get a Pass?

Well I'm now a semi-pro radio person now. Since I help out WCRS 102.1/983 LPFM. Plus my name is in their operating log book now. Now WCRS does have a FCC lic. so that makes it legit radio station.

because as we all know, all it take to be a radio pro these days is the ability to sign your name on a transmitter log...

give me a break ::)
 
Dayton,

With all the technical issues with WVKO AM local business are still willing to advertise on the station. Plus I doubt that you are in radio at all. Since you hide behind a fake name. Plus WTVN is going to air Columbus Crew games. That means they are going to pre-emptied ther conservitive shows.

WYTS is not getting ratings. WTDA is barely hanging on. WRFD is bleeding money. So much for conservitive radio in Columbus Ohio.

Community Radio is a good stepping stone to get into radio.

I've worked for seven... fired once due to a format change.. would you like the list?

And I agree, small radio is a great place to start but it doesn't make you a PROFESSIONAL... it's NOTHING like working for the real deal.
 
It may not be, in Dayton Radio's words "the real deal", but it's all in how you approach such a job or volunteer opportunity in a LP or community station....

If you can get out of it a decent aircheck/audition tape that shows you can play in the "real deal", you have a shot...

When I was a News Director in Cincinnati in the 70's, I once hired a young man straight out of high school radio to be a part-time news reporter for my station. He went fulltime 6 months later...got the desire to be a DJ...and made it...all the way to Chicago as a jock.

You don't have to have worked in "the real deal" to get a job at a commercial station. But, you need to be able to show you have the skills. It's not easy this way...but it can be done.

Like I said before Dayton If you are unwilling to use your real name then I doubt it that your are in radio.

haha, well.. you are entitled to your opinion. ;)
 
Plus Dayton Radio doesn't matter. Its not even in the top 50 markets. Heck they don't list Dayton in the other radio markets on Radio Info.
 
WillCall, How long will you continue to make a fool out of yourself on this board? You are calling out professionals in the business and you can't even put a sentence together. If you are looking to break in to the biz, I would think you might use this board to network, and just be a little more respectful of others who have been around the block a few times, regardless of market size. I'm sure you would thank your upright walking god to have a full-time paying gig in Dayton, or any other of the number of stations that you bash on a daily/weekly basis on this board. Don't be such a pimple.

Dayton is market #58 (last time I checked). It's off the top 50 thanks to all the manufacturing jobs that have left town and government that is just now beginning to understand you can't only rely on manufacturing.

The market is about 830,000 people. You don't see a Toledo board either, do you? Or a Lima board?

Don't give me this crap that Dayton radio doesn't matter. There are good radio people in Dayton, as there are good people in Cincinnati...Columbus...Cleveland, and other Ohio cities.

Having worked in other Ohio cities (Cincinnati/Columbus), I can tell you there are good things...and bad things...about both.
 
I can think of at least three or four music stations in Dayton that I greatly prefer over *any* in Columbus. I wish some of them could "move" here.
