Me on the radio!!!

[DarkImage4]

I had to share with my WDWMagic friends!

Midnight tonight (eastern time), I'm getting a try out on the air at one of the radio stations in my area. What do I mean? I mean I've been behind the scenes in radio for 7 years now, and I just got very lucky and I am being given an live audition as a DJ.

I am very rusty, and might not be as good as I would hope, but it's Magic 98.3FM in central NJ, and streaming live at www.magic983.com. I'm on from midnight until 3am tonight! I'll be "Todd Anthony" unless I decide to use my real last name at the last minute. lol

Wish me luck!!!!

Good luck, man. I'm a trained broadcaster myself, but haven't been able to find work in the field since I moved from Orlando. Glad to hear someone's being given a shot at least.

I loved working in Radio. I used to do news updates and do a "phrase that pays". I'd take a phrase from the sports guy, DJ, and writer and work in something from each into my newscasts. Try working Chico's Tacos into a story the first woman on death row to have lethal injection in Texas for YEARS!!!

The first on-air may be HORRIBLE. The second may be edgy, but after that -- you won't even care. It will quickly become second nature.

Do you choose your playlist, or is it already pre-selected and you just fill the holes?

I loved when I was in control, but when I became a glorified atomic clock, it wasn't as much fun.

As you can see from my signature, I love real, live radio. That is why I love WSM -- they still get to have live DJs around the clock, and while it is programmed most of the day, they actually take requests a lot and the evening DJ, Eddie Stubbs, plays "deep catalog" stuff that can be 50 years old, or from a brand new artist stopping by. Too bad all of radio is not that fun any more.

Hope the OP had great show! Still want to hear how it went!
