Web Biography Proposal: Jay Kline

I would like to do a profile on Jay Kline, a radio DJ for WLER 97.7 FM. He’s been the host of the morning show for the last 10 years or so, but has had an extensive career in radio, including stops in Pittsburgh, Youngstown, and Cleveland.

He’s interesting to talk to, and has seen quite a bit through his years in radio. He’s seen a move from reel-to-reel and “splice editing,” to now everything being run by computers. He’s also the program director for the station and oversaw a change from an adult-contemporary format to a rock format. Jay can provide a nice story of what life is like in the radio business and how he came to this point.

He can also tell the difference in jobs throughout radio—big market compared to small market. 

I think the videos would be compelling and a career biopic could tell an interesting story in a multi-media platform.
