Clear Channel Radio September 24, 2002 Jimi Petulla, President Dear Jimi: That a college graduate with college radio experience like
myself can get into the radio industry without being subjected to the
frustratingly theory-oriented, not-exclusively-radio-based nature of
broadcasting school, is liberating-and Radio Connection was the way I
did it. Your program is the only sure-fire guarantee that someone will
stand above someone else looking to get into radio. Radio stations
don't want beginners without experience, that's the official line. Your
program IS that experience, because it puts actual radio station call
letters under your belt when you are done-something a graduate will not
get from school. Myself, I was the traffic reporter for a whole week for the
Clear Channel stations and I wrote 30 client advertisements, before
logging about 60 hours to date as a part time/fill-in paid newscaster
at WSUS in Franklin, New Jersey. And the future looks even more
promising! My energetic mentor at Clear Channel, Maria Lake, made sure
I explored, not only different areas of broadcasting, but also hidden
potential within myself, I order to utilize the appropriate vocal
phrasing, inflection and tempo depending on the station's need. I am
truly grateful to Maria for making my four months in your program
action-packed! Jimi, here's to people's lives improving by thinking outside
the box! Sincerely, |
