A lot of TV news people have radio backgrounds. I was a jock/ music director/program director for ten years before switching to news in 1981. In less than a year, I was hired do do news on TV, which I did for 30 years.
During that time, there were radio guest hosting and fill-in shots, as well as regular gigs alongside my TV work, including a morning show with Charlie Van Dyke and a talk show at KTAR.
For the last ten years, I’ve been back in radio news, the last eight in my home state of California.
