About Michael Madden
Michael Madden founded BSMG — Broadcasters & Sportscasters Mentoring Group — on January 2, 2008. He knows what it takes to break into broadcasting because he did it himself. Before launching BSMG, Madden worked as an on-air television talk show host and a play-by-play sports broadcaster. He also served as national basketball coach for the country of St. Kitts.
Madden then spent five years building broadcast training operations for one of the country’s early radio mentorship programs, which helped shape BSMG’s nationwide mentor-apprentice model. He built BSMG to mirror the way the radio industry actually operates. Success in radio requires two things: the skills to do the job and developing relationships that open doors. Inside a real radio station is where both develop.
That is why BSMG trains students one-on-one with a working broadcaster inside a station near where they live. Since 2008, Madden has personally overseen hundreds of student placements in working radio and sports broadcasting stations across all 50 states. His philosophy is Doing What Works — real broadcasters in real stations are the best teachers, not classrooms.
