Experience Like None OtherTim Constantine hit the airwaves at age 13. At the time, his deep voice didn't match his skinny frame and sneakers, but through the magic of radio, it really didn't matter. As a young man he worked in Rock and Top 40 Formats. Later, while serving in elected office, Constantine returned to broadcasting, this time in the Talk Format.
The return was a smashing success. His show increased the station listeners in his time slot seven-fold. Perhaps most impressively, within 6 months of going on-air in the Talk Format, Tim was consistently beating the previous #1 Talk Show, hosted by a 15 year Talk veteran. Constantine was first elected to public office at age 27, beating a two-term incumbent and was re-elected four years later with 70% of the vote. After eight years in public office, Constantine's political career came to an unpleasant and unexpected halt. Accusations and innuendo took on a life of their own and Tim found himself immersed in controversy. He was knocked down, but like any good Irishman, he wasn't knocked out. |
