I left the industry. Back in my day I was one of the top hosts in the regional
ratings... but I saw the writing on the wall and I didn't care for that type
of environment. Not being able to do things at the spur of the moment and
joke around with callers was just not fun. It's like giving a kid a candy
bar and then when he's half way through taking it away.

Today they call that function a "producer". That's not that easy of a job
IF you also have to control when things start because if someone else is doing
the talking you sometimes aren't quite sure just when to start the next
element. I hated doing that. I prefer to run everything myself so I know how
the flow will be. One thing I was known for was having a tight board and being
well produced.
