10 Questions with ... Gary SaundersBRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
I've been very blessed to have worked with some of the biggest names in morning radio -- Tom Joyner, Doug Banks, Russ Parr, Steve Harvey, Skip Murphy and now DeDe McGuire. Syndication has allowed me to work some of the biggest names in Urban programming and Urban talent. It's pretty cool to say I've worked out of WBLS/New York to The Beat in Los Angeles.
1) How did you become a radio producer?
Right out of high school I started out at KKDA-A, working in the research department. Then the jocks on K104 would ask me to run their boards when they took smoke breaks. Back then, you could not put the computer on auto, you had to push buttons because everything was on cart or reel to reel. From there, I started producing shows like Blues legends Millie Jackson and Johnnie Taylor.
