RADIO ONLINE | , , | :am CT

Legendary Dallas air personality Ron Chapman and consultant George Johns are launching a talent consulting firm. The two previously worked at KVIL-FM/Dallas where Chapman was PD. The duo are now partnering with former KIIS-FM/Los Angeles GM Roy Laughlin to offer consulting services for air talent. The services will include "working labs" at individual stations as well as online webinars.

Audience Development Group Managing Partner Tim Moore commented, "Here are two gifted people who bring incredible stylistic techniques from the past, into today's talent void, bereft of most of the secrets of pyrotechnic stylistic delivery, at a time when its arguably more critical than at any time over the last 30 years. Ron and George's presence in a radio environment equate to master painters or sculptors as visiting faculty at a great university. Their ability to transfer rare skill-sets to good radio talent is game-changing."

Scott Shannon of Citadel Broadcasting added, "With George and Ron, yYou have two radio legends, who also happen to be great teachers, that's a lethal combination."

Chapman is set to be inducted in the NAB Broadcasting Hall of Fame on April 13 at the NAB Show Radio Luncheon in Las Vegas. Chapman spent six years at KLIF/Dallas, co-hosting the highly successful "Charlie & Harrigan Show," before joining WFAA-TV/Dallas. In 1968, Chapman joined a team that purchased KVIL-FM. He remained at KVIL-FM for 32 years, serving as Program Director, Music Director, Promotion Director and morning personality.
