From 1997 to '99 'Taz'​ met with scores of personnel at 10 selected stations. After intense study, he shared recommendations that became industry standard.In 1999, KJZZ / K-BACH General Manager Carl Matthusen sought corporate support increases and hired Jim Taszarek, Jr. to provide corporate sponsorship representation in the local marketplace.
