Have a friend that did 3 hours a day on the radio in Los Angeles, he said with prep time, office time, meetings, a 3 hour radio show is a 12 hour a day job.

This. You aren't just waking up late, reading Tiger Rag then hopping on the air.

You're constantly keeping up with players, coaches, staff and the administration as well as having show meetings, spending hours on researching prep for each show, doing commercial production, remotes, etc. After a while you can get into a routine so that the motions become fairly rote (just as with any job), but the time investment is far, far more than most people think.

You have to fricking loooooove the job because anything less will eventually come across to the audience.

I think some of you are low balling what they make. They aren’t getting rich but saying Hanny and Ott make fifty is kinda low. Ott’s Kid goes to Episcopal. That school is not cheap.

Yeah, you have to prep subjects to talk about. Make sure you have enough material. And do it consistently every work day. It's work.

there is no way the shows/advertising generate a positive net return for most businesses(his for sure)..be it roofs, cars, insurance, etc..be it small/fledgling or large/well established..

Most small business owners feel this way about advertising, and its cost, they don't learn what its actually worth to them until they quit doing it.

I watch Moscona and Culotta on their Whiskey and Wine and often wonder how they afford what appears to be nice houses in Baton Rouge by talking on the radio for 2-3 hours a day.

I doubt they just show up and start talking. There is daily prep work that goes into that stuff. I would be surprised if they made less than 100k. There just aren’t that many people out there who would show up prepared and who are capable of sounding intelligent on the radio every single day.

Frank Ski at V103 in Atlanta makes north of $1 million. I’d say large market guys make $250-$500k if they are higher rated.

Hawthorne was my parents neighbor back in the early 80’s. You are correct, his home was average three bedroom house in Sherwood Forest. He did have a juccuzi and outdoor swimming pool. His wife at the time taught at my HS. Good people.
