Tina Johnson 2007 Click on CD Icon to hear clips and hover for content details. Most Clips run 3 to 5 minutes. Currently I have just moved back to Calgary after 16 years in the USA and have been out of radio for a few years mostly traveling and enjoying being a lady of leisure LOL .. now I'm thinking of returning to the work I love and have been driven to do since I was about 12 growing up in Montreal. At the moment I am readjusting to being back in Canada, and to a very different Calgary than what I left. I am continuing to run my own business which really is a hobby of an online souvenir magnet shop which is an extension of my love of travel. I'm an avid photographer hobbyist and am currently contributing many of my photos to www.wikipedia.org such as those from the Galapagos Islands. Please feel free to browse my media background below, and visit www.myspace.com/magnetloft to read my blogs :) thansk! Tina. Click on the DISCs to hear MP3s of Airchecks

CFGM Richmond Hill (Toronto), Ontario - My first radio job voice track operator 1987
Q91 / CKDQ Radio Drumheller (Calgary market) Alberta My first on-air gig July 1988 - Dec 89
KPFT Houston, TX I spent several years from City Hall Reporter, Morning Show Host including hosting Friday Talk Shows, Music Host from 1994-1997
KRIL (the last two) Odessa/Midland Texas .. this is out in the West Texas desert, actually the first place we lived when moving down to Texas back in 1991 -- what a great experience, this was my first radio gig after leaving Q91 in Drumheller - I did everything here from operating talk shows, hosting all shifts at one time or another from Mornings to evenings - including hour long news blocks - I started doing a Sunday Morning Classical Music program and remember the Station Manager, Clyde Butter, loved that I could pronounce the names of the composers .. well for the most part :) .. having studied some classical piano myself it was helpful.
KRVS Lafayette, Louisiana ... LOL a bad hair day! I did not like living in Louisiana too much but my husband's office placed us there for a year, glory be there was a great station at the University of Southwestern Louisiana - I was initially brought in as a guest on a show since I had just finished compiling a CD for the Houston Music Council in Houston, which was an organization promoting local original music and bands -- when the host of the show left to do a national program, she recommended I take on her program so I got the call - and renamed it "Sound Excursions", played a lot of roots, blues, acoustic music mostly from regional and a lot of Canadian bands -- even Stompin' Tom Connors ... they loved him in Houston too! Oh if you ever go to Lafayette, you have to ask for "a private cab" otherwise you get a taxi that picks people up and drops them off along the way like a bus LOL and it cost an extra $2 .. probably more than that now, this was a few years ago. Oh and traffic was nasty !
