You Saw My Thoughts on Radio. Here are some of Radio's thoughts on me:

A R&R Interview with yours truly.

"Doug Kellett is a host with humor. He has that essential knack for breaking down complex issues into relatable topics, injecting strong opinions and passion, and still makes you laugh. He's the complete package."

     Alan Eisenson - Operations Manager KFBK/Sacramento

"Doug's one of those N/T PDs who gets it--news, talk, promotions, production and marketing. One guy. The whole enchilada!"

     Jeff Hillery - former PD for KLIF/Dallas, currently Executive Producer for Fox News Radio's 'Brian and Judge Show'

"Doug is rare find.  He he's a great programmer plus he understands sales. When I hired him as PD at WWTN FM in Nashville the station was fairly successful at reaching the male audience but it was in the middle of the pack with adults. He took it to number one in the market with Adults 25-54 within a year! By taking a News/Talk format to number one in the "country music capitol of the world", he did something no one else had done in my 20+ years in the market!And, according to the Miller-Kaplan report, our revenues went to number one in the market too!"

     John Padgett - VP/GM of WWTN-FM (2000-2003)

Doug Kellett as a PD? Great to work for and share ideas with. He knows how to motivate a team!

Doug Kellett as a host? Thought-provoking and entertaining, without sounding like a carbon-copy or the "angry white male" of yesterday's talk radio

     Richard Bachschmidt - former Director of Talk Programming , NewsRadio 94-3 WSC-FM, Clear Channel/Charleston

...."As a programmer and talent, Doug knows what it takes to create successful talk radio.  Doug is one of the finest PDs I've ever worked with, in spite of the fact that he's a conservative Republican."

    Enid Goldstein - Talk show host KCTC/Sacramento and formerly of KNRC/Denver

...."Doug Kellett has to be one of the hardest working individuals I've met in my 30+ years in the business. Whether it is as PD or as an air talent, Doug always goes all out with every endeavor. He'd make an excellent addition to any team."

    John Stevens - Chief Operating Officer for Radio, Paragon Media Strategies 
 
 
"Doug Kellett knows what he's talking about! He prepares for my show, in my market.  He even books his own guests!  Doug's my number one choice for a fill in host!"
