I was probably the only person who visited Family Radio headquarters during the pre-Judgment Day media frenzy in May 2011 who was interested in seeing the guts of the network’s radio station.

As part of my new Radio Station Scavenger Hunt series, I’m highlighting music genre charts this week.

In the past I’ve written about the 5 things […]

At this point I’ve visited more than 50 radio stations all over the country. It’s getting to the point where I now look for certain items during my visits because I expect to see particular things over and over again. I’ve already written about the 5 things that one is likely to spot at a […]
I’ve been a DJ and volunteer at Foothill College radio station KFJC-FM for nearly 15 years now and one of my favorite times of year at the station is the Month of Mayhem.
