Anthony McNutt: The Art Of Radio Imaging

Anthony McNutt didn't sleep well the night COVID sent everyone home.
He is the senior imaging producer at Stingray Radio, and found himself sitting in his apartment with a blanket draped over his head — not out of despair, but necessity. The echo in his space made voicing commercials impossible without it.
But here's what he did next: he asked a simple question. "Is there any reason I can't do what I do from home?"
That question turned into a trial run. The trial run turned into a permanent arrangement. And the apartment turned into a lakeside home on an island in rural Nova Scotia — an hour from anywhere, surrounded by woods and water.
Now, when the pressure of producing imaging for a dozen radio brands across multiple time zones becomes too much, Anthony walks out onto his deck, casts a fishing line, and lets his mind reset.
He's learned something most of us take years to figure out: you're too close to your work when you're in it. Distance — physical, mental, temporal — is where clarity lives.
What started as a pandemic workaround became a masterclass in remote creative work. Anthony's day starts with morning show intros for Halifax, moves to K-Rock in Newfoundland, then shifts to promos, imaging, and voiceover sessions that stretch into the evening when Vancouver needs something turned around.
He's always accessible. Always organized. Always producing.
And he's doing it all from a place where the only interruption is the call of loons on the water.
Sometimes the best creative decisions happen when we stop asking for permission and start asking better questions.
