10 Questions with ... Ernie Martinez1. What got you into radio?
I was an intern in my early college years and did an internship at a local station in Dallas. Our production director at the time was out sick and I had to produce a client spot, and since I hung around the station all of the time, I knew how to work our new digital editing system. An hour later gave the AE the spot (which the client loved, of course). That process of creating something from start to finish hooked me! The creative hooked me.
2. What did you dream of becoming when you were a kid?
I never really gave much thought to what I wanted to be when I was younger. I knew that I liked to have fun...and that was the core for me. Having fun was essential because I knew that I would get bored with repetition. So, it needed to be a new challenge every day. And the broadcast and entertainment business offers that in spades.
