Shownotes

Whether you’re considering moving your show to a new station, joining a media team, or trying to coach one as a Brand Manager/PD, this episode is for you!

Earlier this year, radio morning star Holly O’Conner experienced It’s the end of one era…and the start of a new one.

After stops in Ohio, Panama City, and a couple of stints in Tampa, she and co-host Miguel Fuller left mornings after seven years at Cox Radio’s Hot 101.5, and segued to iHeartRadio's HITS96.1 in Charlotte. Holly considers Miquel her best friend and radio soulmate, and just before their move, Miquel was married to his husband Abe, with Holly performing the ceremony!

In this episode, Holly shares:

  • Valuable tips for moving your show to a new station and market
  • What considerations to look for when ‘hiring a new boss’ (that is, consider a job offer)
  • Future industry changes she’s preparing for NOW

(12:12) With the media revolution continuing, Holly shares her thoughts on the biggest industry changes of the past year...and reveals how she's preparing now for things she expects will be different in the next few years
