Gary Owens<\/p><\/div>\n

Years ago at a PD Grad School, I asked Gary Owens<\/strong><\/a> what it was like to have Chuck Blore<\/strong><\/a> as a program director at KFWB\/Los Angeles — back when KFWB had 47% of the L.A. radio audience.<\/p>\n

At that time, remember, Gary had the #1 morning show in L.A., a brilliant wit, an innovative mind, and an amazing voice. (Still true today for all of his personal attributes.)<\/p>\n

His answer?<\/p>\n

“He made us feel like we could do anything!”<\/em><\/p>\n

And so they did.<\/p>\n

The greatest gift a PD can give to an air talent is….<\/p>\n

Confidence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
