10 Questions with ... Scott BusboomBRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
Been in Radio 30 years. Started out at WITY-AM in Danville as a weekend jock making $3.33 an hour. Moved to the Champaign-Urbana market a few years later. Decatur started out as a sales position, for WSOY-AM, and then I saw the value in the radio business of wearing multiple hats. Actually was a GM for WHOW-AM-FM in Clinton for a three year stint before moving back to Decatur, where I happily work for The Cromwell Radio Group.
1. What got you into radio in the first place? Why radio?
