Kenny Jay

Consulting Partner

It was an early love of music and the personal connection radio talent made with listeners that had Kenny interning television and radio stations in high school and securing his first full-time job at 18. Spanning market sizes from 8,000 to 8,000,000, Kenny has programmed country radio stations across the United States for over 20 years.

After his last radio station stop in Chicago, Kenny got a unique look at the music industry in various radio and content marketing roles with record labels and management. “Seeing the entire business through those lenses has given me a unique perspective and new ways to spot opportunities for broadcast radio. If you rely on charts or streams to guide music decisions, you’re not seeing the whole picture and will most likely have the wrong map.”

Operating from his office in Chicago, Kenny is a skilled talent coach. He can also help you optimize music scheduling software, implement research, and brainstorm creative strategies for today’s broadcast landscape. Social media plays a massive role with any business today, and Kenny is well-versed in the business-to-consumer social process, giving our clients a unique competitive edge.

Beyond winning numerous state broadcasting award honors, Kenny was named a top country PD by Billboard Magazine, CRS/Country Aircheck, and Radio Ink.
