He has worked in most of the major radio formats in the industry, Rock, Adult Contemporary, New Age, Smooth Jazz and Gold.

Beaudin was also President of the radio syndication company of the Air-Com Radio Network which syndicated the weekly foreground show 'The Cross Canada Record' in the mid to late 80's. In 1987 he created 'The Rock History Book' with fellow broadcaster Steve Burgess. It was a one minute 'today in history' radio short hosted by Burgess. Beaudin took the show over in 1988. The brand was resurrected as a website in early 2008. "We still had the logo from the 80's," Beaudin says, "So when I was looking for a name for this rock site I thought why not Rock History Book, it's our brand so we went with it." More

Kari has been working with RHB owner, John Beaudin since 2001. Her first gig was as a Contributing Editor for sister site Smooth Jazz Now.
