About Corey Deitz
Corey Deitz has worked for many years in radio as a DJ or on-air personality in cities like Chicago, St. Louis, Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo, Richmond, Virginia Beach and now Little Rock. My forte is "mornings" - the most competitive day-part on a radio station. For the past 18 years of these years, he has collaborated with Jay Hamilton as a two-man wake-up team (www.CoreyandJayShow.com). Their morning show is consistently top-rated.
Deitz and Hamilton were voted "Best Morning Show in Little Rock, 2003" by Little Rock Magazine, and "Best of the Best - 2001" by the Arkansas Democrat Gazette. Previously, they were awarded "Best Morning Show in Virginia" in 1992 and 1993 by the Virginia Association of Broadcasters.
Deitz is a graduate of Kent State University and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Telecommunications. He has also completed some graduate courses in pursuit of a Law Degree.
Corey is married to Christine and they have two great sons. They live on a mountain in the middle of the woods with their dog, Jenny.
Transgressions aside, Corey did attain the rank of Eagle Scout at age 14. He was the first Eagle Scout to emerge from Troop 69 in Clifton, New Jersey.
Previous Writing
Deitz's book about working in Radio, "The Cash Cage" (www.thecashcage.com), was self-published in 2004 to great reviews. The Midwest Book Review wrote:
"The Cash Cage is not only an engrossing personal story, but also a no-holds-barred "how to" guide for anyone struggling to break into the business, curious individuals seeking to learn the pitfalls of the trade, and in fact anyone determined to grapple with adversity. Vernacular plain-terms language distinguishes this highly readable account that actively resists being put down for any reason."
Corey Deitz has written for several radio industry and general publications including:
Toastmaster's International Magazine
Richmond Magazine
Morning Mouth
Radio Ink
