If you've ever seen the inside of a TV or radio studio while the morning show is going on, you'll know it's like a highway at rush hour - a lot going on all at once. 

Which is why I find it almost impossible to believe that a Detroit radio host can also play anchorman for a station's morning TV newscast at the exact same time. For those who live near the border, is this true? 

It says that Jay Towers co-hosts WNIC-FM's AM drive show with two others, and is also the TV anchor for WJBK's morning news, with a studio just across the hall. 

I find it head spinning to believe this could be done, but the article below insists it's not only happening, but has been going on for years.  

I would really love to see how they time this out. It sounds exhausting, but I'm guessing it pays very well. I've heard of radio people migrating to TV and even doing their own radio shows. (Alan Carter at Global was an example, anchoring the 6 but also doing a 12 noon show at AM640.) But he didn't do both at the exact same time!

How does this keep it up? 

“I manage to juggle both by working on the radio show during traffic, weather, and commercial breaks on TV. It’s a lot of running back and forth, but it’s also exciting! People turn on their TV and see me anchoring the news and then hear me on WNIC during their drive to work.”

Wow. It reminds me of that old Saturday Night Live sketch where Dan Aykroyd played a DJ who was doing two different formats on both AM & FM at the same time. But adding a behemoth like TV to the list where you have to be in a separate studio and keep going back and forth? That is mind blowing.
