"Interviewed" at Clear Channel

I had met Jack Balzer about 10 years ago while he was working over nights at KATS FM, in Yakima, after a friend of mine who was working at KIT/KATS asked me to come down and dink around doing some radio production work. So I see jack come in to Macy's and I make a point to stop him and reintroduce myself. He is now the Program Director for KUTI in Yakima. To make a long story short, because I only have a few minutes left on my lunch, I sent him my resume and my audio demo recording and he sent it to other PDs around the Clear Channel cluster of stations and other Clear Channel PDs. So then I saw Dave Ettl at Macy's, who is the PD for KIT, which is in the same group as Jacks, and he said stop by the station sometime. The next day I made an appointment to go hang out with Jack. That lead to me getting a very impromptu interview! They recently had their "board op" or broadcast board operator for games, like baseball, football, etc. I am waaaaaay over qualified and it is only a part-time gig, but a foot in the door. Also, there really isn't a job opening, but they feel they must replace this position ASAP or maybe not be able to fill it for quite a while if ever. We shall see.

Just going into the studios I felt very elated and was checking out all the fun I could be having and all of the microphones waiting for my voice. It will happen. It is just a matter of time and effort.
