Radio or Production House?

Sup all,

I'm just curious as to where a majority of you work. I assume since this is a radio board you all work at radio stations, but just wondering if some of you work for ad agencies or production houses.

I'm a production director for a small local station, I went to a 4 year school for audio technology, so just trying to branch out my talents a bit more and was thinking of hooking up with an ad agency, but it seems those jobs are harder to get then radio gigs haha. Just looking for some thoughts, thanks!
 
Personally I do work for a cluster of stations, but also freelance my talents from a home studio.
 
3 station cluster. no airshift. home studio, nice amount of freelance
 
3 station cluster.. 1AM and 1FM in the same building, a 2nd FM 45 miles away.
 
Same as everyone else...4 station cluster, VT for 2 more stations from home studio...Plenty of other production/VO freelance.
 
7 station cluster, production and continuity, no air, occasional imaging, some trickles of local agency freelance (radio and TV), and the PA announcer at the local low-A baseball team. Every blue moon, a gig as the house announcer/MC for a boat show or a festival thingie.
 
Production only..Spent many years working in the station trenches, and loved it...It's a fun and (usually) creative way to make a meager living. I mostly do radio imaging..and TV New Promos on monthly accounts..but I also get an occasional infomercial..and quite a few retail TV accounts..but the BIG money is selling shrimp from a Ford Van down at the Fla/Georgia border..man those tourists will buy anything...Look for my porta-sign:

"Worlds Biggest Shrimp Ever In Town..Here To-Day Only"
