)"You do the time and temp and read liners others have written and try to come up with clever things to say in order to keep the spot clusters separated."
Dave, that's what I meant by the way radio was...I had the freedom to talk as long as I wanted before starting a song...spent about 2 hours a day writing my "ad libs"...and was kinda left to be "entertaining"...Las Vegas was great in the late 70's, with freebies to Sinatra, Sammy Davis, and Elvis...it actually just got too easy, meaning all the commercials and spots were produced by agencies and you really only had to do your show...kinda missed writing 5 different mobile home spots to please the client like I did in Montana & Oregon......but the one thing they didn't want you to do was "time & temp"

Does part-time volunteer at a independent TV station count?
When I was in High School worked at KAIL 53 in Fresno a couple of hours on Saturdays running commercials spots. It was for credit for a Broadcasting class.

Been a paid employee in the industry (most of it low wages!) since 1974, with a couple of years as a "radio groupie" leaning from my mentors before that. Had the good sense to go to college and graduate school, and learn some related skills in sales and marketing and audience research before getting back into radio some years ago as a program director, host, and producer. Despite what a few naysayers on the Seattle board keep posting, there are some of us who actually have some experience, and successes, in making radio that people listened to and relied on, even tho' we don't work in the ever-limited commercial radio world today.
