Kit Carson McGuire
Former afternoon drivetime air personality seeking major-market station and/or syndication by aggressive marketing firm to continue being the disc jockey who dares to showcase unsigned/indie artists worthy of radio airplay. Being a professional musician, I know what it can be like on the other side of the coin. I'm the disc jockey who dares to take radio back to where it all began. To play great artists with proven track records for the world to embrace.
I have always believed there is a major-market radio station who wants someone aggressive to play, promote, interview the stars of tomorrow, today! I'm that disc jockey. Responsible for giving countless artists their big break by bringing them to the forefront of the music industry. My ethics are most desirable by any station and in most cases I actually become close friends with the artists I play.
Putting my last radio station on the internet gave me worldwide exposure to promote artists all over the world. Much of my most recent work can be heard at: www.krim-fm.com/on_air_interviews.htm
It is my sincere desire to find that one radio station who values a quality, seasoned radio air personality to help boost their numbers. Well traveled in seeking out great artists to see, hear, interview, and know to the benefit of the radio station and listeners worldwide. I am now entertaining all offers from major-market radio stations that can meet me halfway and relocate me to their area and make this financially cost-effective to both of us.
