On-Air / Air Talent Work

Shawn "Smith" Peirce has worked in radio in an on-air capacity, in one way or another, for most of the last twenty years. His experience includes not only music formats, like classic rock, country, pop/top 40, and adult contemporary. He's also worked as a radio news and sports reporter and producer, both on a local and national level.

His most recent position as the Assistant Executive Producer for the nationally syndicated Randi Rhodes Show involved very little time on-air. Shawn has kept his on-air abilities up however, through occasional on-air appearances both on Randi's show and on shows like "The Leslie Marshall Show" and SiriusXM's 'Steele & Ungar.' Feel free to check out examples of some of Shawn's recent appearances, below.

Shawn's most recent regular on-air music station assignment included a seven-and-a-half year stint on legendary classic rock station KTGL-FM (92.9 The Eagle) in Lincoln, Nebraska. His last primary on-air position was Middays (10A-2P), and in his last on-air ratings period, he improved ratings a full point from fall to spring, in the station's target demo. Shawn also had a five year-concurrent stint on country legend 96KX, KZKX-FM, also located in Lincoln, Nebraska, where his primary shifts were weekends and weekday afternoon fill-in (2P-7P).

Due to a massive apartment fire in 2008 caused by one of his then-neighbors, most airchecks from Shawn's nearly two decade career of on-air work were destroyed. However, the following two sets were recovered (thanks to friends in the business) and are available here for you to listen to, and see if Shawn's unique personality would work for your station.

Feel free to listen to Shawn's complete aircheck sessions from both KTGL and KZKX below.
