With four Institutes in the south and east, the National Radio Talent System now heads to the Northwest with Institute number five -- the Hubbard Radio Talent Institute at Central Washington University in Washington State. Hubbard Radio Chair/CEO Ginny Morris commented, "Compelling and relatable on air talent is what separates local radio from all other audio entertainment services. Our investment in the National Radio Talent System at Central Washington University is an extension of Hubbard Radio's commitment to do our part to nurture and grow the talent pipeline for the industry."
National Radio Talent System Founder and President Dan Vallie stated, "I am nothing less than thrilled to be working with Ginny Morris and her team of quality professionals at Hubbard Radio. From the first time we spoke about it, it was obvious they shared the vision. We are flattered to have Hubbard partner with us to continue growing the farm system for radio, discovering, coaching, and incubating young talent who have a desire and passion to be in radio. This is our future."
The inaugural Hubbard Radio Talent Institute will debut this summer, June 13-22. The National Radio Talent System will be contacting broadcasters from radio stations in Seattle and across the state and region to teach sessions during the ten-day institute.
Associate Dean of Student Development Keith Champagne commented, "Having a nationally award winning college radio program in KCWU-FM, the partnership with Hubbard Radio and the National Radio Talent System was simply a perfect match. Giving student broadcasters opportunities they can't find anywhere else is a cornerstone of Central Washington University. The Hubbard Radio Talent Institute will be another great example of that."
