Broadcasting isn't for everyone.

Unless you're willing to:

- Work weekends and holidays
- Handle stress and pressure every single show
- Know your call time, but never your wrap time
- Spend long stretches away from family

If you can accept all that, here's what you'll find:

Colleagues who become friends.
Friends who become family.

The chance to see places most people only dream of.

A career full of stories worth telling.

A sense of purpose when the red light goes on.

The question isn't whether broadcasting is hard.

It's whether the hard is worth it to you.

For me? After 26 years?

It still is.

What keeps you in this industry?
