PD, Program Director. In theory that is the person responsible for the overall sound of a radio station, from what kind of music, to where the breaks are, how long they are, how DJ's get in and out of breaks, etc. But most of the sound is decided by consultants these days.
MD, Music Director. In theory that is the person responsible for deciding which new songs to test, which ones to add to the stations rotation, which old ones to drop, and what their top 40 looks like on a given week. Usually the MD is also a DJ. But again, most of it is done by consultants now days.
I start the new job in Mid March. The Agency is talking about giving me severance pay to leave early though because they want my desk for the person I'm training to replace me. That would be nice. I haven't had an honest to gosh paid vacation in years.
