SMG Tuition and enrollment procedures:
"I've worked in major market radio in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York for 20 years, most recently as the program director at WCBS Newsradio, which is also the flagship station of the NY Yankees. Much credit for the advancement of my exciting andfulfilling career goes to my mentors.But it's not always easy to find the right mentor. That's where SMG comes in. I believe the mentoring model SMG uses is an outstanding vehicle for someone trying to break into the business, as well as those who've gotten started but want to move up the ladder. Remember, it's not just WHAT you know .. it's WHO you know!"

"SMG's mentoring program is the most effective way to break into sportscasting. Not only do they provide one-on-one instruction with professional sportscasters, but they do it inside actual radio stations or with real teams, instead of in a classroom. Getting in the door is half the battle for a rookie sportscaster in the job market. SMG does that for you."
