10 Questions with ... NerfBRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
I started out driving the van for KROQ in February of 1998, and dabbled a little in Pirate Radio (KBLT) at the same time. In June of 1999 I got a gig as a board-op and promo assistant at KTCL in my hometown of Denver. I worked my way up through the ranks stopping at just about every title along the way until they gave me the PD title in April of 2006.
1. Congrats on a big July PPM! KTCL had a big cume increase. What were the other ratings highlights for the station?
Last summer we had the station's first #1 18-34 in its 33 year history. This July, #2 P18-34, #2 P18-49, #2 P25-54, and #6 P12+ Our sales department is pretty stoked about it. It makes KTCL a one-stop shop to hit a lot of demos. Well over half a mil in cume in a market of 2.5 million is a good selling point too.
