Michael Shawn
Weekends
Howdy ya’ll, At age 11 we moved to Lubbock, Texas next door to Bill McAlister, owner of KSEL AM-FM. I told him I wanted to be in radio. He said, “When you’re 13 years old, I’ll give you a job.” I mowed his lawn for 2 years so he wouldn’t forget about me, and on my 13th birthday, I marched into his office and began my career. At 19, I became his Program Director and my course was set. After that, different cities and radio stations, broadcast syndication, public relations, and podcasting. Now, being a part of “Boss Country Radio” feels so right.
