“Progressive” Talk Show Host Job Opening

By Dan Gaffney

All Access carries this classified ad:

Progressive Talk Radio Returns to Fresno!
Looking for a Male or Female to co-host a new Progressive talk radio show for 3 hours.
The show will be for the Fresno, CA market area!
Ideal candidate must have experience in the following;

• Minimum of Two (2) years in talk radio
• Running a board
• Production
• Editing
• Knowledge of Vox-Pro
• And Must be open minded with ideas

Send you resume and air check to:  ratalian123@yahoo.com
Will make our decision before Jan 10th

Hmmm.  Good luck.  I’m always suspicious when folks advertise for an right/left ideologue instead of just looking for good broadcasters because the ideas don’t hold the listener, the talent of the host does.  I’ll cut these folks a little slack though since they want a co-host.

    You shouldn’t cut them slack Dan. Not just for the reason you mentioned, but because they are really looking for a glorified producer, not a co-host. Look at the responsibilities (running the board, editing, Knowledge of Vox-Pro, ect.) Maybe a music station would expect some of this from a host, but not talk. They want something for nothing. Shame.
