Welcome
Finally, the radio industry has a “go to” place to find young talent entering the industry. The Kellar Radio Talent System Institute is a talent incubator on the campus of Appalachian State University in Boone, N.C. and is the first of its kind in the world.
The Institute brings in industry professionals from around the country to teach during this intensive 10-day summer program. All participating professionals to date have praised Appalachian State and embraced the Institute as a “go to” place to find bright, talented young broadcasters entering the industry.
“Broadcasters at the highest level understand the importance of bringing new talent into the industry, even so, we have never developed an organized and systemized farm system until now,” stated Dan “Vallie” Hill AKA Dan Vallie, Director of the Institute. “I am excited that Appalachian State has embraced this innovative talent incubator concept and is teaming with the industry to find, train, coach and develop fresh young talent in every area of broadcasting. I expect other leading broadcasters will want to support this innovative radio farm system as well.”
