Radio personality

Radio personalities who introduce and play individual selections of recorded music are known as disc jockeys or "DJs" for short.

[1] Increasingly in the 2010s, radio personalities are expected to supplement their on-air work by posting information online, such as on a blog or on another web forum.

Early talk radio personalities included Bruce Williams and Sally Jesse Raphael.

Notable radio personalities include pop music radio hosts Wolfman Jack, Jim Pewter, Dick Clark, Casey Kasem, John Peel, Charlie Gillett, Walt Love, Alan Freed, Mamy Baby, Frida Amani, The Real Don Steele and Charlie Tuna;[9] sports talk hosts such as Mike Francesa; shock jocks and political talk hosts such as Don Imus, Howard Stern and Rush Limbaugh.

[10] Many radio personalities do not have a post-high school education, but some do hold degrees in audio engineering.

Over time a radio personality could be paid to do voice-overs for commercials, television shows, and movies.
