10 Questions with ... Toby HowellBRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
I started out as an intern at Citadel Broadcasting/Spokane and proceeded through to the Group Promotions Director job, to mornings on the Sports station, and ended up as PD of 790 the Fan and the afternoon-drive show host. After that I went to work for Jerry Clifton at ProActive Communications, first as the PD of Z107 (Adult Hits), then as the PD of both Z107 and Live 104.5 and the Group OM, which lead to my current position as the PD of NOW 105.7 and SportsRadio 1510 KGA, and the Asst. OM for Mapleton Communications in Spokane.
1) How would you describe your first radio gig?
It's not so much the first gig as it is the first time on-air in radio. I was asked to do a sports update on our Sports station, KJRB, which was housed in an old '50s-style bomb shelter under the regular studios. It was raining outside and when I went down to the studio to do the live update there was water draining from outside the station into the studio through the ceiling. So I went to the engineers' office, broke in, and got myself a tarp. I then went down to the studio, pulled the tarp over myself and the board, and proceeded to speak live on the radio for the first time. It was a blast and no electrocutions occurred. so all and all it worked out pretty well.
