What Are Those Trophies???

During the halcyon days of General Manager Clancy Woods and Program Director Tim Maranville at KOOL, our number one 25-54 and 12+ books were rewarded with these personalized trophies. 

An Exact Fit For Your Job Needs?

Bill Gardner has been an "immediate impact player" in Adult Contemporary, Country, Oldies, Classic Hits, and Rock & Roll radio.  There's "easy-to-document" success* as a Drive Time On Air Personality, a VP/Programming or Program Director, even President/General Manager while owner-operator of an AM/FM combo in Arizona, many times assuming both programming and on air roles simultaneously.  And this "easy-to-document success" doesn't happen some of the time...it happens every time!

( *Ask for your copy of the Arizona Republic July 31, 1999 article where with virtually no other change in KOOL 94.5 mornings other than adding Bill Gardner, the Spring 1999 ratings "book" showed Bill with "the biggest gain in Valley radio, moving from 13th to 4th most popular morning show in town.")

No More 92.7JillFM :-(

On July 23rd, GM Tom Hoyt told Captain Bill Gardner that they would be returning to full automation on the morning show, no longer to be hosted "live" by Captain Bill Gardner out of the new studios in Orange County CA.  Tom said "You've done everything exactly as we asked you, but our plan was just pulling in too many different directions to be successful."  In a call to Bill Gardner from President and Owner Joe Amaturo, Joe added "Bill Gardner is a real gentleman, and I personally apologize for placing you in an 'un-win-able' situation."  Consultant George Johns added "Bill Gardner continues to be the consummate pro.  He and I have done many successful projects together, and hopefully we still have one or two more to go."
