Douglas has been at RCS for 16 years and will retire on December 31, 2016. When asked what he will do in retirement, Douglas said, “Write books without an alarm clock.” His latest book If God Could Talk is available on Amazon.com.
During college at Point Park University, Douglas got the radio bug at the college station WPPJ. Also during college, he worked at the PBS TV station WQED and specifically on the show Mister Rogers Neighborhood as a film-telecine technician. At the age of 20 he left college to work for WDVE, an ABC radio station, as they were developing their FM properties. He also worked at WYDD in Pittsburgh, then onto the legendary 13Q as creative production director and assistant PD. He then moved to Washington, D.C. to help put DC101 on the air as PD.
After working in Pittsburgh and D.C., Douglas moved to Atlanta to join the largest radio consulting firm in the world, Burkhart-Abrams & Associates, where he later became president and worked with media companies around the world.
During that 25-year period, he was instrumental in coaching and recruiting high-profile morning shows, including Howard Stern. He moved to New York in 2000 to be the vice president of marketing for the world’s largest broadcast software company, RCS, and worked directly with RCS, Media Monitors, Mediabase, and Florical. He also produces a comedy website WHACKOTV.com, publishes a literary promotion site TheDeamWindow.com, and his personal musings at DwightDouglas.com. Throughout his career he has written screenplays, books, and magazine articles.
