Does anyone remember this guy from PRO-FM? He was on Sunday mornings from 7 to 9, right before American Top 40, from 1995-97 I think. He was only 18, the youngest jock ever on PRO-FM and just as he was improving he was gone.

That's what happens when you have the audacity to improve on PRO FM.If he hadn't improved he might still be there.By the way is Rob Tyler still pulling a weekend shift there or did someone actually hire him?I liked it better when there was an e-mail directory on allaccess.com.At least then you could find people who wanted to be found.
When Tony Bristol came in, the kid was gone. I had heard Bristol wasn't pleased with the way the kid sounded, and said he needed work, even though Tony Mascaro (who was the MD at the time and now works at PLJ) said Shawn sounded good.

They're hiring teenagers there?What are they doing?Auditioning on the request line?Whatever happened to PRO FM actually hiring radio people instead of being a beginner station?gtdradio said:
I noticed that on J-Buff's web site, he lists Davey Morris as his hero. Pffft.Shawn started interning at PRO-FM when he was a sophomore in high school. He was hired at 18, just like J-Buff, so they started at the same age.gtdradio said:
Radio is not like it used to be. Now they hire whoever will work cheap. Your typical High school kid who used to DJ at a Skating Rink can now get a job on the Number one station in town. It makes perfect sense why Howard Stern said being in Radio is one small step up from Circus Clown. Lack of respect, poor pay , poor treatment and a future that gets dimmer and dimmer with each new satellite dish that gets installed out back.
I know a bit about Shawn, and I know Tony Mascaro - the current MD at WPLJ, New York - said Shawn sounded good on PRO. Shawn wouldn't drink Tony Bristol's Kool-Aid though, so it wouldn't have worked out. Maybe this new kid there will.
