Concerts from country’s most buzzed about new artists? Probably not unless you live in Longview, WA and listen to Washington Interstate’s 700W Class A KUKN (Cookin’ Country). Former Westwood One VP/ Programming and Longview native John Paul returned home as the station’s GM last year (CAW 7/21/14) and he’s using some big city radio tricks to shake things up. KUKN launched its quarterly New Faces Of Nashville concert series last December and it’s fast becoming the hottest ticket around while adding nicely to the station’s bottom line. Missing A Beat: “We just don’t get many shows,” Paul explains, citing Longview’s Blake Effect Show: Warner Bros./WMN’s Blake Shelton (c) with proximity to both Portland and Seattle. (l-r) the label’s Kevin Herring, iHeartMedia’s Maynard and “That’s where most people go. But we have Rod Phillips, WMN’s Kristen Williams, KWNR/Las Vegas’ JoJo Turnbeaugh and iHeartMedia’s Hartley Adkins and John Ivey at John Paul a beautifully restored vaudeville theater that’s been turned into a performing arts center and the iHeartRadio Music Festival. it made sense to consider renting it for some acoustic concerts.” Based on the population of KUKN’s service area (roughly 115,000; United We Band 36,000 within the city limits) and other considerations, Paul figured After the local shooting of a Navy sailor and four Marines July 16, the market could support four shows a year.

  • On Music and Scheduling Family Entertainment
    May 26, 2015, Issue 449 On Music And Scheduling Great Country radio stations must have great music scheduling drawn from well-constructed libraries. That’s obvious, but the process sometimes isn’t. That’s why Country Aircheck called on consultant Keith Hill (playfully described by some as “the world’s leading authority on music scheduling”) to identify some common problems and useful tips to help stations sound their best. Coming Clean: The importance of clean, uncluttered libraries can’t be overstated. “I had a boss many years ago that said your library size is the station’s blood pressure, and you don’t want one with high blood pressure,” Hill says. “Don’t treat your library like a room with one door. If you bring songs in, take songs out.” Hill says including the number of songs for each category within its title or description is one way to stay vigilant. “Then you They Know The Way: KRTY/San Jose staffers host EMI have a constant reminder of where you need to be,” he explains. Nashville’s Eric Paslay and Big Machine’s Waterloo Revival Library cleanup can be a tricky proposition for stations Friday night (5/22).

On the day of the historic vote, Rep. Harry T. Burn surprised everyone when he voted “yes” for suffrage. He placed the tie-breaking vote after receiving a letter from his mother encouraging him to “Hurray and vote for suffrage… Be a good boy and help Mrs. Catt put the ‘rat’ in ratification.” By doing so, Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the amendment and women gained the right to vote nationwide.
