Radio Experience

Boz's radio career spans over three decades, beginning in 1989 when he interned at a small community station on the South Shore of Montreal, Quebec. His passion led him to acquire his FCC Operator’s License in 1991, allowing him to volunteer at WXUT, the University of Toledo's campus radio station (though these licenses are no longer required).

Transitioning into commercial radio, Boz climbed the ranks from intern to General Manager, mastering each role with dedication and skill. His journey through the industry showcases a profound commitment to the craft of broadcasting.

Radio Philosophy

Manager

I am committed to discovering new avenues for growth in both sales and listenership. While I believe in not fixing what isn't broken, I am adept at identifying and resolving issues when they arise. I aim to lead our team to new heights, ensuring success is a collective achievement by giving credit where it's due. My approach includes recognizing the efforts and contributions of others, motivating the team to surpass current standards, and finding innovative ways to celebrate and reward success, thereby fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

Programmer

Having an annual programming calendar is crucial. By planning for community events 12, 9, 6, and 3 months ahead, we can ensure active participation. In an era where music is ubiquitous across various platforms, the unique value radio provides is community. It's about making listeners feel they are part of something significant. I believe the future success of radio lies in deepening existing community ties, forging new connections, and nurturing these relationships.

Talent

A compelling radio host connects with their audience by being an integral part of the community, sharing in the everyday joys and frustrations. Authenticity is key; we must be open about our own life stories. On a music station, storytelling should be concise, much like a tweet, where you convey a lot in a little. Conversely, in talk radio, it's more like a Facebook post where there's room to elaborate and delve deeper into narratives.
