PASR62: Jonathan Zaslow – 790 The Ticket

“Guys who are in charge can be scared of doing what’s different. There’s a lot of that in sports radio where a lot of Program Director’s don’t take chances. Having females involved in a male dominated medium is one of those outside the box ideas. I really take a lot of pride in being the show down here that has that female on it.” – Jonathan Zaslow

Jonathan Zaslow is a lifer. He may not have known it was going to be in the field of sports radio, but ever since he signed on to do anything and everything at a startup sports radio station in Miami, the format began to love him. And he’s excelled.

Zaslow, morning show host at 790 The Ticket in Miami and Miami Heat broadcaster, also had the self-awareness to know that he had to change along the way, while remaining true to himself.

Hear about the journey of Zaslow, and how LeBron James played a part in his success and other Miami sports radio talents, in this edition of The PASR.
