Media Makers Consulting

As a radio and television host of a national financial program for 20 years, I encountered many producers. I can emphatically state that Bill McColl ranked as one of the best that I ever worked with. The success of a broadcast involves preparation and Bill always made certain that the on-air personalities were armed with the information they needed prior to the broadcast. Bill was a thorough professional.
