By the way Deirdre, I am also a traffic reporter for Metro Networks here in San Diego. Currently doing the (ugh) split shift!
How long have you been with Metro?
I would love to give up one of my shifts as I'm exhausted but not enough vo work.....yet!


I've been doing traffic for Shadow and then Metro since 1997. I can't imagine a split shift.

Afternoons are a mixed blessing. I don't have to get up before dawn year 'round, but it is as I have said before, a stake through the heart of my day to be leashed to the clock in the afternoon. If it weren't a union gig, I'd blow it up. As it is, it's helping me get health insurance.

As far as branching out--you'll have to explore the local possibilities and hit midday auditions if you don't have a home studio. Production companies and Cable TV stations-- gone that route already?

I was in relatively serious discussion with the local Metro Traffic org in town to do news for a new affiliate.... then they told me about the non-union pay.... which was a little worse than being a tenured bus boy at Denny's.

I graciously declined/ran.

My hope is that the pay scale I heard was an anomaly rather than the rule for that position around the country
