Every team needs the "sixth man".....the player put in to bring energy and focus back to the rest of the team. That's what Morning Producer On Call is designed to be for your morning show.
These days, it seems like there are only a handful of people that are dedicated to being the best Producer they can be. If your show is in need of some fresh ideas, or even just a spark...Jake has the talent, experience, and contacts to take your show to the next level.
What makes this service so special is it's personal attention. Jake will listen to your show, get to know it, and provide the elements that you feel the show is lacking. This can consist of daily ideas and brainstorming calls with your morning team, or scheduled market visits. Not all stations have the budget for a full-time morning producer, but every station needs more than a wire service with the same jokes and celebrity gossip everyone else is using. Jake gives you the expertise and contacts of a seasoned professional without the heavy price-tag.
