10 Questions with ... Aaron SantiniBRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
First cracked a microphone in 1994 while in high school. My first full-time gig was overnights, then MD/nights at WKPK/Gaylord, MI (Traverse City market) From there I moved on to KSMB/Lafayette, LA for APD/MD/nights. My next stop was a long run with Cumulus at KKHQ/Waterloo-Cedar Falls, IA as PD/afternoons, then PD/mornings. I hopped to the other side of the Mississippi for my next gig, from KKHQ to WKHQ (cool, right?) back in the Traverse City market for PD/mornings. And in September of last year, I arrived here at the OM for Midwest Communication's cluster in Evansville, with PD duties for WIKY and WABX.
1) How would you describe your first radio gig?
Miraculous. No joke. I walked into a situation at a station that was an absolute flame-throwing Top 40, with Hall-of-Fame level mentors in McConnell ([email protected]) Adams, and Brent Carey. Seriously, I was stupid lucky falling into that situation for my first full-time gig.
