Michael Madden has a good company for up and coming radio and sports broadcasters. He takes those involved and pairs them with a mentor who helps guide them and give them feedback. It’s a great way for those who take his course to network and learn about the radio and sports broadcasting field.

When I reached out to Michael for help with online broadcasting, he went above and beyond and answered my many questions I threw at him. This was before I even agreed to do his program. Michael and his Broadcasters and Sportscasters Mentoring Group not only helped my business grow since its launch in August 2010, he worked a custom payment plan for me just so I could afford it. I have a great amount of respect for Michael and would recommend the Broadcasters and Sportscasters Mentoring Group to anyone looking to break into the business.

Michael Madden’s Broadcasters and Sportscasters Mentoring Group provides an excellent service matching people who want to be in the sports or radio biz with those who already are. I’ve mentored three of his students and find them all to be responsive to feedback, eager for insight and direction, and truly appreciative of the time I give. Michael at SMG is professional, eager to help you learn, and always accommodating. My experience with Michael and SMG was great. I can only imagine the kind of radio talent we could develop if everyone in the biz was eager and willing to work with Michael and his aspiring broadcasters.

Michael’s BMG and SMG service is precisely what the broadcaster trying to break into the business is seeking – that conduit between the apprentice looking for a way into the industry and the journeyman who can offer advice, counsel, and expertise from the inside. He has organized a template that is both a direct path to goals while also being flexible enough to adapt to the personal needs of his clients. This is a good idea smartly executed.

Integrity and knowledge. That’s what you get from Michael Madden and BMG/SMG. Michael’s program is ideal for the broadcaster who is looking to break into this exciting business. BMG/SMG will provide you with the best possible mentor, and I can tell you first hand from my many conversations with Michael, your future employment is extremely important to him. While other companies are content with taking your money, that’s not what Michael and BMG /SMG is about. He’s about providing you with an ideal working environment and to facilitate your pursuit of employment. If you’re looking to become a professional broadcaster, I strongly suggest you give Michael Madden and BMG/SMG a call.

Hello Michael!
Graduation has arrived as I have finished up all of my training with Justin Riley at KKOB. What a great and fun experience, especially being placed with the program director for training. I learned so much from him and found Citadel people to be extremely generous with their time and sharing their skills with me. I would highly recommend BMG to anyone looking to enter into radio, especially since I was hired to work in promotions during my training. As they say, “the proof of the pudding is in the eating,” and it’s impossible to deny the results your company provided for me!
Take care & God bless!

Once the mentorship was over, BMG’s efforts led me to WBZ talk-show host Jordan Rich, who asked me to be the in-house legal analyst on his show that reaches nearly 250,000 nightly listeners.
None of it could have happened without BMG’s support, encouragement and unflagging desire to see my dream fulfilled.
Crys Quimby
I’ve worked in major market radio in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York for more than 20 years. Much credit for the advancement of my exciting and fulfilling career goes to my mentors. But it’s not always easy to find the right mentor. That’s where BMG and SMG come in. The mentoring model BMG and SMG uses is an outstanding vehicle for someone trying to break into the business, as well as those who’ve gotten started but want to move up the ladder. Remember, it’s not just WHAT you know … it’s WHO you know!
