I took the amazing course at Columbia Academy of Broadcasting way back when. Don't think they are still around anymore. They were in Calgary. I sat right next to the guy with the lisp in class.
Started out in Salmon Arm, B.C. - It was that or Peace River. I had the choice. Funny how I decided huh? Spent one year and 9 months there and then got a job in Drumheller. Spent 3 months there...longest year of my life.
Then got a job at 107 CKIK FM. Best station ever.
After leaving CKIK and moving to Edmonton to follow some chick....Got a job at MG1200, worked there for about 2 years and the then worked at CHQT.
The opportunities are there if you have the voice. I had it, so I was OK. Not sure what it's like these days though.
