Our Story
On February 13, 2013, my life was forever changed. I had been “let go” by my last radio employer after almost seven years. Prior to that, I was single and childless. That day I found myself not only married and with a young daughter, but now jobless.
The broadcasting industry has never been a “family friendly” one. As radio and television stations are expected to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including weekends and holidays, most of those who work in it have either never been married or working on a third or fourth marriage. As a child of divorce myself, I didn’t want to put my career first and leave my family vulnerable.
I took a job at a cable TV company while trying to figure out what to do for the rest of my life, now that radio was going to have to play a secondary role. As many inside the broadcasting industry will tell you, when you’re suddenly out of work, word spreads quickly.
Some offered jobs at their stations. Others advised me to sue my former employer. And a couple others said “start your own station.”
