"Russ is a fantastic systems guy. His knowledge of in-studio and online technology is more valuable today than ever. He is a true multi-tasker for today's lean, mean radio environment." - Smokey Rivers, Operations Manager, Clear Channel Radio, Phoenix, AZ
"When Russ came to KYOT in Phoenix, he had never programmed or jocked a Smooth Jazz station, but he quickly learned all the nuances of the format, and had it sounding the best it had been in a long time."
"As far as his talent-building skills go, the jocks he had to work with have been in the business for many years. I've personally been on the air over 20 years, and with KYOT for more than 6 of those, but Russ was able to break some bad habits I had, and helped get me to sound even more relaxed and natural in my delivery without harming my fragile ego."
"Russ was the Operations Manager and Program Director of our 50,000 watt heritage beautiful music station in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Russ also oversaw the imaging and commercial production of this station as well as our AM radio station WIIN.
During Russ' tenure, we took our FM beautiful music station from full automation to LIVE and transformed our sleepy AM radio station into a smokin' oldies station. Russ oversaw all of these changes and everything went off without a hitch.
WFPG was the market's top revenue producing station with number one Arbitron audience ratings; year after year during this time. Russ is dedicated, dependable and never leaves until the job's finished." - Dick Taylor, Associate Professor, School of Broadcasting and Journalism, Western Kentucky University
"Russ Egan gets Online like few others in the radio industry. He not only
talks the talk, but he walks the walk. Russ has been designing web sites since the late 1990s, before many radio stations even had web sites. Russ understands the dynamic relationship that Radio and Online share with each other. Russ is always ahead of the curve when it comes to Online
marketing."
- Mark Bianchi, fmr Online Sales/Content Mgr., Clear Channel, Cincinnati, OH

"Russ has an incredible gift for discovering and nurturing talent and placing that talent in the best possible position to succeed. He was the first Program Director to really work closely with me early in my career and I credit him for instilling in me the confidence to be myself on the air and to aim for the stars. His drive, direction & programming propelled us to the the Arbitron rated #1 afternoon slot in the market, a position we maintained for years.
As an OM/PD, Russ's professionalism and success are unmatched. Russ taught me the true meaning of "talent" and he did so with kindness, compassion and humility. I will forever be indebted to him for all that he taught me and would recommend him for any position in the media business. He'll make you laugh, he'll boost ratings and he'll make you remember how much fun radio can be." - Laura Tortella, Director of Operations, Total Traffic, Philadelphia, PA
