Tyler Glen: Going Geo-Local

If you were ever a fan of radio, there's a good chance you had a
favourite morning show. A particular host, or group of hosts, who
showed up every morning and gave you a laugh or a smile on your
way to work. Unfortunately, it's also very likely that your
favourite show ended at some point. Time marches on, budgets
shift, people change, and eventually the hosts you know and love
will inevitably take their services elsewhere. But in this day
and age, when radio is on a slow, steady decline, where do they
go?


Well, in Tyler Glen's case, it was Twitch.tv. After hosting and
programming morning shows for more than 20 years, Tyler has now
made the shift to live streaming his own morning show, to
resounding success. Tyler works out of Brandon, Manitoba, which
is a tight but unbelievably supportive market. They've been with
him for years, after all, and fans of his new show even give him
free advertising out of the goodness of their hearts. Between
being his own boss, gathering a number of generous sponsors, and
the support of an incredibly loving community, Tyler couldn't be
doing better.


In this episode, we get all the details of Tyler's storied
morning show career, including what prompted him to switch from
public broadcasting to online live streaming, and the results of
that decision (which are mostly very good). We also get quite a
few more anecdotes about the incredible community that exists in
Brandon, Manitoba, and honestly, his testimony is making me
consider moving out there myself.


To listen in on Tyler's morning show, drop him a follow on
Twitch, and maybe subscribe if you're feeling generous. He's live
every weekday morning from 8am-10am.


You can also connect with Tyler on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook,
