The new schedule was released today at 1053 The Fan and my name was not on it. Although I knew this would happen it is still a hard thing to see. I’ve put much time and effort into my short stint at the station and had a hard decision to make when approached with my new job opportunity of being an airborne traffic reporter for KRLD-AM.
This isn’t to say my run at the sports station is over, but merely on hold. I’ll be on KRLD-FM most weekends in May doing the sports flash updates. It’s a weird feeling though to leave a role that most people don’t want. Let’s be honest in this business no one wants to be a board op for their entire career. They are one of the lowest paid and sometimes least appreciated people in the industry despite having a ton of responsibility. However, I can’t seem to completely give it up. Some of my best days at work occur on a Saturday or Sunday morning just running the sound board. The absolute best days are when I’m working with Pete and Mrod and running their board for them.
Those two guys have been extremely nice and we have built a great chemistry in two months times. So if you get a chance listen to 1053 The Fan Tuesday night from 7-10pm. Not sure if they will let me on the air with them but perhaps I’ll be able to say adios. Now with that said there have been talks of using me in another position at the fan that would also allow me to keep my traffic gig. More to come and I promise I’ll get back to sports soon.
