Issue 720 PD Crosses Country from Couch Ed August 31, 2020, Issue 720 PD Crosses Country From Couch Ed. Note: Veteran programmer and CRB board officerJohn Shomby recently took a stationary road trip through Country radio at Country Aircheck’s behest. Here’s what he found: During my years as a day-to-day PD, I rarely had enough time to spend with my own radio station, let alone others in my market or across the country. But with unexpected time on my hands (who can relate?), I have been afforded the chance to sample Country stations in various markets from the comfort of my home office. I heard lots of good, solid and safe Country radio, but is that where we want to be heading into 2021 – considering everything that’s changing around us? Methodology: In partnership with Alexa, I set a goal of listening to at least one Country station in each of the top 50 markets. I Nauti By Nature: Warner/WAR’s Chris Janson (r) receives a John Shomby managed to actually get through the top 55 plaque commemorating “Buy Me A Boat” being certified 3x markets, making sure to get a balanced cross- platinum from the label’s Ben Kline Friday night (8/28) during section of stations owned by various companies.

Overall, that plan was an evolution, however. lots of “live” but not a lot of “local” from the personality side. “It’s been constant change,” says ACM Sr. Mgr./Marketing (continued on page 7) Melissa Moldovan. “We’d get something set, and safety ©2020 Country Aircheck™ — All rights reserved.

We have to keep the artists, labels and management teams – and our staff – safe.” Physically, the set-up isn’t much different from the pipe-and-drape look familiar to anyone who’s been to an awards show remote (left). Wider gaps, fewer booths and the absence of actual radio personalities in favor of virtual participation are the main changes on-site. And safety starts before the remotes even begin. “Artists, crew and staff will all be tested prior to ACM Radio Row arriving then will receive a temperature check and health Schematic screening before they enter the ballroom,” Moldovan says. Unlike years past, the only artists participating will be performers, presenters and nominees to keep the numbers manageable. “The focus is on keeping people spread out,” Appleton-Adkins says. “Every artist gets their own pre-packaged and sanitized gear – mic and headphones – with a never-opened, new windscreen for the mic.” That gear stays with them as they go from station to station, and none of it will be reused in those two days. Wide Open Spaces: “When artists come through, they’ll have the floor to themselves in some ways,” ACM Radio Row she continues. “They won’t feel compelled to stop and Booth Layout shake hands. There will be no fans. It’s very easy, very secluded and they won’t have to interact with anyone in person beyond our team.” Adds Moldovan, “There’s one way in, the artists move in one direction, and there’s one exit door, so no uncomfortable situations where artists are crossing paths.” Each artist will only be allowed one person to accompany them rather than the typical gaggle of promotion and management staff. “They all understand and feel better about it,” Appleton-Adkins says. “One person per artist creates less traffic. The room is very big and is set up with a huge open space in the middle to help with distancing. Between that, masks and a much lower number of participants, we can protect everyone and have a successful event.” In the booths (left), artists will see two laptops, allowing them to switch between interviews before moving to the next location. “It’s no different from a typical remote, except there will be multiple stations at each stop, and one engineer in the booth plus the artist escort,” Appleton-Adkins says. “And even though ©2020 Country Aircheck™ — All rights reserved.

  • Secure Schools Notice
    EMMETT INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT #221 Wayne Rush, Superintendent KNOW YOUR TERMINOLOGY For Securing Our Schools Using the same Terminology throughout the district is critical in situations that impact the safety of students and staff. Three plain language terms are used by schools, police, and members of the media during such events. “Lockdown” “Hold and Secure” “Shelter in Place” "Lockdown" is used when there is a major immediate threat of serious violence inside the school or on school property. Classroom doors will be locked and students are moved to a safe area in the classroom. All movement in and out of the school and within the school is restricted. Outside doors are to be locked, except in the case where the threat is already in the building. "Hold and Secure" is used to secure the school due to an ongoing situation outside the school that requires all persons to remain in the building. Examples may include a bank robbery or domestic situation near a school. The school continues to function normally, with the exterior doors locked until the situation is resolved. Staff member posted near each entrance to ensure no one leaves the building. All movement in and out of the school is restricted. Notification of situation may come from local law enforcement or school employees. "Shelter in Place" is used for an environmental, or weather related situation, where it is necessary to keep all occupants within the school for their protection.

  • Witty Songs ©Ted Schaar 2011
    Witty Songs ©Ted Schaar 2011 Several years ago through eBay I bought colored-vinyl versions of The Beatles 1962-1966 (The Red Album) and The Beatles 1967-1970 (The Blue Album) from a major fan named Ed. After I paid, he asked if I would be interested in some bootlegs he had that featured sessions recorded while The Beatles were working on their amazing albums—he was willing to transfer them to CD free of charge. I mentioned in my thank you e-mail that I was old enough to have seen the Beatles when they first appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. He replied it was "an honor" to meet someone who saw the Beatles live (Ed was born in 1966). This made me think that although those who watched The Beatles that night were part of a huge television audience—almost 74 million1—it's a set whose numbers have decreased tremendously in the 45 years that have passed. That realization, Ed's comment and generous offer to send the CDs, and the about-the-same-time coincidence of having dinner with a man named Bill who saw the Beatles perform in Milwaukee in the fall of 1964 started a chain of events that led me to write two articles. The first, "A Day in the Center of Beatlemania," is about the band's September 4, 1964, appearance at the Arena in Milwaukee. The seed for the second—this one—was planted after Ed's CDs arrived. These were interesting for their roughness and for the insights they provided into the experimentation that produced musical passages such as the unusual Paul McCartney organ part that opens and becomes the backbone of "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds." On one I was hearing works in progress ranging from the acoustic beginning of "All Together Now" to John Lennon performing an early version of "Good Morning, Good Morning" when out of the blue comes Pete Drake, his talking guitar, and the sliding-steel-words: "I'm just a guitar, everybody picks on me." The track is from the bootleg Through Many Years that focuses on George Harrison and Ringo Starr.2 Ed had combined various bootlegs on each of the CDs he sent.

Luke Bryan and Florida Georgia Line lead the parade with seven songs apiece, followed by Jason Aldean and Zac Brown Band with six each. Rounding out the top PG hit-makers are Kenny Chesney, Thomas Rhett, Blake Shelton and Carrie Underwood, all with five hits in the Top 100. One artist – Dierks Bentley – places four songs in this elite group, meaning that nine acts are responsible for 50% of the current Power Gold. More thoughts on that later. Twenty-three songs from 20 artists are new Luke Bryan to the Top 100 since we ran the list last year (CAW 1/14/19).
