Ginny Morris

The third annual HUBBARD RADIO TALENT INSTITUTE kicked off on the campus of CENTRAL WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY with  HUBBARD RADIO Chair/CEO GINNY MORRIS, taking the opening session. HUBBARD RADIO Pres. DREW HOROWITZ, HUBBARD/SEATTLE VP/Market Manager MARC KAYE, and over 35 other radio pros from HUBBARD, ENTERCOM, BONNEVILLE, TOWNSQUARE, ALPHA MEDIA, THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKS and others lead sessions during the 10-day INSTITUTE.

“Compelling and relatable on-air talent is what separates local radio from all other audio entertainment services," GINNY MORRIS said. "Our investment in the NATIONAL RADIO TALENT SYSTEM at CENTRAL WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY is an extension of HUBBARD RADIO’s commitment to do our part to nurture and grow the talent pipeline for the industry. We are proud to partner with DAN VALLIE and his team in this important initiative”.

Students/future broadcasters partake in sessions including on-air, production, promotions, digital/social media, engineering, news, sports and sales, with each student being certified as a Radio Marketing Professional by RAB. The students will also be the live studio audience for Mornings with ALLAN and ASHLEY from WARM 106.9/SEATTLE, broadcasting live on campus at the INSTITUTE.

“As critical as embracing technology is to our industry, eventually everyone has access to the same technology…what makes the difference -- always has and always will be -- is people," NATIONAL RADIO TALENT SYSTEM Founder/Pres. DAN VALLIE said. "These young talent are our future. We are proud to be working together with HUBBARD RADIO in growing the farm system; discovering, coaching and incubating young talent with a passion for radio."

The HUBBARD RADIO TALENT INSTITUTE at CENTRAL WASHINGTON is the sixth Institute of the summer and will be followed by the KBA WKU RADIO TALENT INSTITUTE in KENTUCKY and the MBA RADIO TALENT INSTITUTE at NORTHWEST MISSOURI STATE.
