It wasn't that long ago when I remember Kidd O'Shea pulling 6 hour shifts on 'KTI even on the weekend.
Now he's.. juggling for future money. Sort of. Read below.

Whenever asked about the future of the business he's in, Kidd O'Shea is ready to stand on the soapbox.
"Radio reaches more people than any other media," O'Shea said after finishing his morning shift at 99.1 WMYX-FM, known as The Mix here in Milwaukee. "It was something I was just reading the other day that more people listen to radio each week than watch an episode of 'American Idol.'"
The announcer/reporter/host knows how to deliver information to an audience and he does it almost every day between two gigs – the weekday morning co-host with Elizabeth Kay at The Mix, and as a reporter on weekend mornings on WISN-TV Ch. 12.
As far as TV goes, O'Shea is just as complimentary to the medium, knowing the impact that video can bring to a story.
