“I’ve seen Randall in action and he has an amazing ability to fine tune a radio show. He understands the strengths and weaknesses of show hosts and knows how to bring out the best in talent. He is incredibly creative and is always looking for new ways to improve on a current concept.  As a Program Director at our partner radio stations, I frequently went to him for feedback and assistance. His advice and insight were invaluable, always offering great insights and a thoughtful solution to a problem.”

– Nancy Abramson, Executive Director, WSJ Radio Network

“The reason WRVA is enjoying its current ratings success is because of the groundwork laid by Randall. I was a veteran of 20 plus years in Detroit before coming to Richmond and Randall made me a better talent. He can certainly help any station identify its strengths and weaknesses and develop a plan for better numbers.”

Jimmy Barrett, PD/Morning Host, WRVA-AM/Richmond

“Randall Bloomquist gave me my first radio job, coached me through my worst career crises, and is responsible for the fact that I am a talk show host today.  And he has to live with that fact for the rest of his life.”

– Michael Graham, Midday Host, WTKK-FM/Boston

“Randall Bloomquist is the smartest programmer I’ve worked for in 32 years in the business.  His ability to see around corners where others merely see the obvious was demonstrated continuously while we worked together at WBT.”

Brad Krantz, Morning Host, FM Talk 101.1/Greensboro, NC

“WBT’s ratings were sagging and the station had been losing money, about $8 million over the previous decade. To survive, it needed to change. [General Manager Rick] Jackson hired a program director, Randall Bloomquist, who shook up the schedule and moved to a format featuring provocative talk. When he left four bruising years later, WBT had reinvented itself in an edgier voice that abounded in conservative discourse and climbed to the top of the market in revenue.”

“You know how they say old dogs can’t learn new tricks?  Well, Randall helped this old dog go from being a magazine-show type host to being a talk show host good enough to be nominated as Local Talk Show Host of the Year by Radio and Records Magazine.  His biggest strength, in my opinion, is his ability to cut through all the fluff and get to the heart of an issue.”
