GETTING ON-AIR

Whether your goal is to be famous, to be powerful, to be rich, to make a difference or all of the above, you can find it in TV News. Competition for jobs as a news anchor, TV host, reporter, sportscaster and weatherperson is fierce. To get one, whether locally, on cable or a major network or on-line and OTT formats, you need an action plan. That’s what “Getting On-Air” does for you. It puts you on the “fast track” to a TV news career.

You don’t need supermodel good looks, you don’t need a fancy agent, and you don’t need to have a relative in the business. What you must have is a do or die attitude, a killer resume reel and most of all, you need to be compelling on camera. Those three qualities are your ticket to the on-air ride of a lifetime – the hair-on-fire, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants, breaking news world of TV journalism.

No one is more capable of getting you noticed than veteran TV producer Raymond J. Brune. He put E!’s Giuliana Rancic on the air, and discovered The Bachelor‘s Chris Harrison. The first time Anderson Cooper and Robin Roberts sat in network anchor chairs, Ray was their producer in the control room. Ray’s resume includes jobs as Executive Producer of “Good Morning America” and “World News Now”, Vice President of News for E! Networks and VP & GM of Fox Sports, and creator and showrunner of the highest-rated local morning show in TV history, Los Angeles’ “KTLA Morning News”. He even produced Jerry Springer when both were starting their TV careers in Cincinnati. Ray turns everyday people into TV personalities. He shares his secrets in this book – and if you follow his advice, you will be “discovered”.

Look what the top TV talent in the country are saying about Ray and his book:
