10 Questions with ... Margot ChobanianBRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
WODJ/Grand Rapids, WGRD/Grand Rapids, KXNA/Fayetteville, AR, Dave-FM/Atlanta, EAVradio and a few other stops in between.
1. How did you become interested in radio?
“WKRP In Cincinnati.” I wanted to be Andy Travis. College radio confirmed it for me. (I was an Art History and German major in college. Gave up pursuing careers in either for radio.)
2. Congratulations on your JBE SummitFest 2020 MD Of The Year award! Tell us about you felt getting it and what it means for The Colorado Sound.
Thank you! I was surprised and so honored. The last thing I won was the Pepsi Free-Throw Regional Championship in, I think, 1976. As a relatively new station, I think it validates our approach to music. We consider everything and push ourselves to take more chances.
