In Reply To: I have to agree with bjorn50 that the best place is the one that will give you a chance. My first gig was in a 137 as an Assignments Ed, and it sucked. News Director on crack and so much crime you didn't want to go out after dark. The pasific northwest is a great place to get your feet under you. Good people and micro-breweries abound. I've heard Missoula mentioned more than once on this thread but I have to disagree with that. I went to college there and I've seen the crap that passes for news at both KECI and KPAX, plus the U provides an endless stream of kids willing to do the job for next to nothing. I would have to second Yakima, or Spokane if you can get in there. But no matter where you start just learn all you can from those around you.
Message: KPAX had overhaul with new talent, set, and graphics and and recently sent talent to Philadelphia, Portland and Montreal. As for KECI...well, that justifies the "crap" comment.
