Six questions
for John
1. What was your first job in radio? Early influences?
My first radio job was at WKIX in RALEIGH, NC - which is where Rick
Dees started. I did the
weekend news and played the religious tapes on Sunday. I used to
listen to Paul Harvey and did a bad imitation of him on the air.
2. What led you to a career in radio? Was there a defining
moment, which made you realize "this is it?"
When I was a kid I was always putting on fake radio programs for
the kids in the neighborhood. And although my parents wanted me to
be a doctor and it was my area of study in college, I eventually
switched majors because I missed the excitement of creating radio
programs.
3. What makes your show unique? How does this compare to
other stations you have worked at?
The "INTELLIGENCE FOR YOUR LIFE" idea grew out of a need that we
found mostly in women,
where they were way too busy to read all the magazines they wanted
to read, watch all the
television news programs they want to watch, and basically get all
the info they need to protect and enrich their families.
One of our
mottos is "You may not have time to read all the magazines and surf
all the internet sites, but we do. Let us do the heavy lifting for
you."
4. Besides the music you play on Magic 105.1, what other
music do you like?
I really love Country. And I think that Country artists write songs
that are changing people's lives.
5. What's your best advice?
A. Never make a decision based money.
B. Never mix wine with beer
6. How did you get your on-air name?
My on air name is John Tesh but in junior high and high school I was
known as "Yuck, Tesh." Want to find out more about what
