I'm in my forties, and I'd love to work in this wonderful industry at least another twenty years...good Lord willing! Interest rates are low. Our financing is in place. We'd love to grow our Company! There are exciting opportunities in other markets that we'd love to pursue. What's holding us back? We need General Managers/Sales Managers and Morning Show Hosts/Program Directors. Our preference is to always promote from within. However, our current Managers and Department Heads are happy, contented, and aren't interested in relocating. So we find ourselves needing to look outside our Company for employees. Please feel free to contact any of our managers and ask about us. You may have heard us say that every market is different. So, we always try to be open-minded, and allow our people to create outstanding radio stations in the communities where they operate. We've found that our compensation packages are competitive. Our radio philosophy is fairly simple: "If we offer good radio for our listeners, we can sell advertising that will produce results for our customers." If you're interested in being a part of our growing team, please e-mail me your resume and thoughts on why you believe you'd fit the criteria we're looking for at jaybunyard@hotmail.com.
