10 Questions with ... Julie DunnBRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
I went to SUNY Brockport to study broadcast communications, in hopes of pursuing a career in movie production. I ended up getting sucked into the college radio station, and got "bit by the bug." TV and movies went out the window, and I dove headfirst into radio. I got my first gig at Clear Channel as a programming intern in 2005, and that internship blossomed into a career in radio. I was first hired full-time to co-host the morning show on our then-AAA, 100.5 the Drive. Throughout the years, I've done programming, production, promotions, traffic, you name it! I'm still at iHeartMedia almost 20 years later, programming 7 stations across our region, and serving as an on-air personality on two of those stations.
1. How would you describe your first radio gig?
Amazing! I know so many people start out in promotions, to get the "foot in the door," and serve their time. I was lucky enough to intern in the programming department, with an awesome PD and MD. They showed me the ropes and gave me the opportunity to make a name for myself in the industry.
