Pt 1 & 2 With Kipper McGee At 'TSBC 12's Virtual Adventure'
Even before the pandemic, changes in our industry fueled by consolidation, downsizing and other constraints forced a number of broadcasters to take a hard look at their future in radio. Many hunkered down and stayed the course. Others decided to take complete charge their careers.

Kim, whose radio show now airs on well-over 400 stations, transitioned her show into a media empire. In addition to her radio show, heard worldwide, she hosts podcasts that reach a massive audience each week, plus she host her own TV show. Add to this a slew of product endorsements and much more.
In part two of taking control of your career, Kipper is joined by Doug Stephan, host of the syndicated DVJ show. Doug started his national show in October of 1988, just a few months after Rush Limbaugh began his syndication. At one point Doug's show aired on over 585 plus stations. Today, in addition to his daily show, he also hosts a variety of other shows, plus a podcast. To date he's appeared on virtually every independent network that has ever existed.
