10 Questions with ... John WillyardBRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
When John Willyard is inducted into the Country Radio Hall of Fame on Monday night (7/10), it will mark the first time an individual in his profession of voice acting and imaging has been invited into the Hall.
Willyard's career started in 1970 with college radio in San Francisco. He was hired by a radio network at the end of his freshman year, and worked with network programming and the company's flagship station. From there, Willyard says, "I'll fast forward through my Top 40 years, where my dream was to move eventually to the biggest markets as a personality. After all, I was pulling down the biggest ratings with afternoons, beating my morning show and all other station departs … By the time I hit Atlanta and 94Q (where I also helped transition to Star 94), I was honing in on imaging voice work and producing the same. I finally went completely independent in January 1998 after having either moonlighted or having my station contracts absorbed by a production company."
