10 Questions with ... Carrington Harrison1. What was the impetus for you to go into radio in the first place? What attracted you to do radio?
Radio was always attractive to me as kid but more on the music side. I loved the energy and personality of genre in between the songs and seemed like a fun job to have. One day, my mom’s boyfriend (who later became my stepdad) picked up from school when I was in 6th grade and there was a man on the station talking about the Chiefs and I had never heard anything like it before, hell I didn’t even know this format existed. I asked him what it was and he explained it to me and at that point I knew that’s what I wanted to do.
2. You're an example of someone who got in as an intern, moved up to produce full-time, and proved himself to get on the air and ultimately move up to a major role on the station and a national show on CBS Sports Radio. How did you do that, and what do you think you did to earn that rise from entry-level to a key player on a major station to national work?
I honestly don’t know if I did anything special per se. I think everyone’s story in this aspect is very different. I just tried to prove my value to the station in whatever capacity it was early on. Whether that was cutting sound, going to a press conference, pitching ideas, whatever was needed I was down to do. I did a Big 12 football podcast in college that had gained some traction and the PD at 610 Sports listened to it and one day, he gave me a shot and I made the most the opportunity. I tried to study people who I felt were much better than I was and much more experienced and I think early on, you take parts of them and parts of yourself to develop your own sound and style. Patience is key. The progress doesn’t come overnight, it comes with sacrifice, hard work and all the things people preach and I feel like the more you work and put yourself in the right situations eventually you will get your shot and you just gotta kill it when you do.
