It's a start

Well, since Megan didn't take me up on my offer (sorry Pat!).... I took the job at WKST, Kiss 96.1

I think it will be fun. Mark Anderson is the guy who hired me, he says I'll probly train for about two weeks. Then I'll be doing some behind the scenes stuff, board opping and all. THEN once I master the program, I'll voicetrack some shifts that Mark will look over and critique, and eventually I'll be on air! It'll probly be like, weekends at 2 am, but it's a start! Oh yeah, plus, I'm like one of two girls at the station, so it could be good times. LOL.

Now, for some irony.

1) Mark says we're really lucky to have RCS Selector/Master Control over at WC. Yay for being advanced (more than most commercial stations)!

2) I've been talking to Craig Rechichar a lot lately (WC Grad in 04), who has been working at Fox Sports Radio whatever that is, 960 am or something, doing some producing. Anyway, you can now hear him on Kiss FM weekends, his air name is "Wretch" lol. We might end up training together!


3) Mark asked what it is about us westminster kids - said it seems like every year he hears from someone, for internships, jobs, or whatever. He thought there were a ton of BCers. I said no, maybe about 8 per graduating class on average. He's like oh, so you're just good at networking and stuff? I said yeah, we like to think so ! haha.

Anyway, I don't know how I'm going to manage or anything, but you know me, I make things work. Anyone looking for a roomate in the Pittsburgh area? .....contact me......

Where's the station located? Here's an idea, search out some grad students from Pitt or Duq?

Now that you're in the door, see if they need anyone else! I sent them my stuff the day after you got the job!
