BENZTOWN and THE NATIONAL RADIO TALENT SYSTEM have released the selection of THE BENZTOWN MENTORSHIP PROGRAM’s fourth quarter mentee, NICK TEHRANI, graduate of the KBA RADIO TALENT INSTITUTE at WESTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY. Through THE BENZTOWN MENTORSHIP PROGRAM, radio professionals FRED JACOBS and BOB LAWRENCE will personally mentor TEHRANI in their DETROIT-area offices.

THE BENZTOWN MENTORSHIP PROGRAM offers one-to-one mentoring to select students who are accepted into THE RADIO TALENT INSTITUTES of THE NATIONAL RADIO TALENT SYSTEM, on an ongoing basis, with structured mentoring opportunities during the SPRING and FALL semesters. 

BENZTOWN Pres. DAVE “CHACHI” DENES said, “Through THE BENZTOWN MENTORSHIP PROGRAM, we are pleased to help THE NATIONAL RADIO TALENT SYSTEM connect two of radio’s most accomplished and esteemed professionals with NICK TEHRANI, an up-and-coming radio student working toward a career in radio through THE BENZTOWN MENTORSHIP PROGRAM. We’re incredibly impressed with NICK and are thrilled to help make this special opportunity available to him, as one of the bright and talented young broadcasters who will help drive our industry into the future.”

NATIONAL RADIO TALENT SYSTEM Pres. DAN VALLIE remarked, “Reflect back to when you were getting in the business and imagine the excitement of what it would have been like to have the opportunity to be mentored by FRED JACOBS and BOB LAWRENCE. That is what NICK will actually experience through this mentorship, thanks to CHACHI and BENZTOWN and of course to FRED and BOB. Working with so many forward-thinking people makes discovering and preparing these future broadcasters even more exciting and rewarding.”  

JACOBS MEDIA STRATEGIES Pres. FRED JACOBS noted, “As radio broadcasters, we owe it to our industry and the next generation to pay it forward. But I’m secretly hoping to learn new things from NICK.”

SAGA VP/Programming BOB LAWRENCE added, “It’s truly an honor to be involved and have a role. Anytime we have the opportunity to offer a young person as passionate as NICK some inspiration and education, then we play our part in passing on a torch that still burns strongly in the industry. I’m very much looking forward to learning what excites this next generation!”

TEHRANI commented, “I am overwhelmed by the fact that I have been given the chance to push my broadcasting career to the next level through this mentorship and the chance to learn from FRED and BOB, two of the radio industry’s most respected professionals. I want to extend a huge thanks to THE NATIONAL RADIO TALENT SYSTEM for believing in my talent and drive to succeed. Also, without the support of BENZTOWN, I wouldn't have had the chance to be a part of THE RADIO TALENT INSTITUTE or be awarded this opportunity. Thank you, CHACHI and the BENZTOWN team, for investing in our bright future. I hope I can make all of you proud and hopefully be on the other side one day, helping someone like myself."
