Sylvia Alvarado: What Happens on the Air in Vegas...

A lot of radio personalities are initially attracted to the
medium because of the music. But some hosts, like Sylvia
Alvarado, go far beyond a passing interest. As the midday host on
KOMP 92.3 in Vegas, she's had incredible interviews with some of
the biggest stars in rock music: Slash, Pat Carney from The Black
Keys, Zakk Wylde, and Matt Schultz from Cage The Elephant, just
to name a few.


She's also a musician herself- She's sung the national anthem at
games for the Vegas Aviators and the Golden Knights. Sadly, there
isn't much footage out there, but when you consider that you only
here about anthem singers when they mess up - this may be a good
thing. (We do have a clip on our episode page)


In this episode, Sylvia and I run through her history with music
and radio, from her beginnings as a student at UNLV and a humble
intern at KOMP all the way to her current position as the midday
host. Even if it seems like she's a natural fit for radio, she
had her fair share of struggles. We go over how she finally
gained confidence in herself after 2 years (!) on the air, and
how she tackled a few broadcasts in Spanish. We also go over the
fierceness of creating and running promotions in Vegas, which is
pretty much the global capital of promoting things.


If you're listening from Vegas, you can hear Sylvia from 10am to
3pm on 92.3 KOMP. If you're not, you can also listen live on
their website. (Yes even you Canada)
