10 Questions with ... Garrett SearightBRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
I began in TV, beginning as an intern at TV-44 (WTLW), a local Christian TV station, when I was 17. I actually left college early to take a full-time job at TV-44 as a reporter/producer and helped launch WOSN, their all-local sports digital subchannel. In March of 2012, I was let go due to budget cuts, and at the ripe age of 22, needed a career change. I was familiar with a few radio guys in town from my work in TV, and got hired to be a board op in November of that year. I started at the bottom, soaked up as much as I could, and worked my way up the ladder. I've voicetracked afternoons on our country station, I was the Promotions Director for a few years, but I immediately knew I wanted to be a Program Director, and a run a sports talk station. In January of 2018, I got that opportunity and continue in that role today! I also serve as the Program Director of our cluster's Classic Country station, as well as board op/producer our afternoon drive sports talk show, and I also operate our local sports vertical 419sports.com. So, I stay decently busy.
