Q: How can I start a career in the radio business?

A: Program Director Larry Sharp says: "The best way is to get into a school that has an actual radio station so you can get some real experience. Ohlone College, San Jose State, and Santa Clara University are good Bay Area places to start. Once you've completed school, target small to medium sized markets and try to get your foot in the door. Once you've gained some professional experience you can work your way up in market size, if that's what you want."
