Clear Channel Media and Entertainment has completed its
inaugural Market Engineering Manager Development Program (MEM-Dev) and the
third year of the company's Electrical Engineering Co-op Program both
designed to provide participants with hands-on industry experience in
specialist areas within electrical engineering.
Over the past several years there has been a reported
decline in the number of engineers entering radio as well as a spike in those
retiring and nearing the end of their careers, according to radiomagonline.com.
"Clear Channel is making a strategic investment in the
future of broadcasting engineering and we hope to attract and expose new talent
to the ever-changing world of radio while also fostering the expedited growth
and development of our existing employees," said Jeff Littlejohn,
executive vice president of engineering and systems integration, Clear Channel
Media and Entertainment.
The Clear Channel Electrical Engineering Co-op Program was
introduced as a pilot program in 2011, and has offered 12 high-potential
engineering college students the opportunity to expand upon their technical
abilities and education while being exposed to innovative technologies and
operational processes at Clear Channel stations across the country.
Many of the graduates from this inaugural class have already
been placed in high-level managing positions within Clear Channel, including:
■ David Grice: market engineering manager in El Paso
■ Chris Abbott: market engineering manager in Tucson
■ Andy Mika: market engineering manager in Waco
■ Jake Wyatt: AM transmission specialist
