October 7, 2013, Issue 366 Beards Are Back: No Shave November Growth is undeniable – and we’re not just talking facial hair. No Shave November went from raising $38,000 its first year to more than $138,000 last year. For 2013, the buzzword is “teams” as stations, labels, companies and artists try to get the largest teams and biggest donations possible on behalf of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. And one station new to the NSN fold is taking things even further with a promotion that could become a model for others. For all the bald-faced rookies out there, the NSN concept is pretty simple: Stop shaving for the month of November and donate the money you might have spent on razors, shaving cream, stitches and more to St. Jude – at least Freeze Frame: Warner Bros./WMN’s winds $30. The homepage is www.stjude.org/ down his Ten Times Crazier Tour in Tulsa Friday night (10/4) noshavenovember. The emphasis on teams with a surprise plaque presentation commemorating platinum is an outgrowth of last year’s event, where sales of his Based On A True Story....

Keifer and wife/duo mate Shawna got their first tour of St. Jude’s Memphis facility last Programming: DJ On The Radio week and were, unsurprisingly, impressed. “We couldn’t quite A chance meeting at the CMA Music believe it was a hospital,” he says. “It doesn’t feel like or smell Festival may lead to a future in radio for like a hospital.

But it was Seeing St. Jude’s efforts up close gives Keifer greater then-WSIX/ APD/MD Anthony motivation and Shawna more patience with his bristly face. “I Allen (now APD/MD at KNIX/Phoenix) who fully intend to win again,” Keifer says. “I’ve got a couple secret may have started the ball rolling to get Silver Dee Jay Silver weapons lined up since last time.” Shawna jokes, “He’s learned in front of his biggest audience ever. that if you drink Miracle Grow, it helps your beard.” The two met backstage, and Allen said he might like to use Other artists already aboard (abeard?) include Benton Blount, Silver’s remixes of current and recurrent titles as a regular feature (continued on page 8) at 5pm on Fridays.

Let’s start this week.” PAGE THREE PIC The segment began at 15 minutes, but listener reaction was big enough to expand after only a month. “It left everybody wanting more,” says Allen, who is hoping to add the show in Phoenix soon. “We got a lot of calls, emails, Facebook posts and tweets, so we went to 30 minutes to see what would happen.” WSIX was already commercial-free at that time, so the Big Mix Country Club show airs without interruption. PD Michael Bryan actually met Silver at a Jason Aldean show prior to moving to Anthony Allen Nashville, and was familiar when Allen came to him with the idea. “It’s just a different vibe with uptempo mixes of songs we’re already playing, with some extra spice thrown in,” he says. “Silver has really good access to stars, so he’s got great artist audio to go with it. He’ll mix in some cool stuff like the Dukes Of Hazzard theme, just for fun.” Bryan says it’s too early for a sense of ratings, but the social media activity is high. “Silver has a pretty good following, and people are engaged and tweeting about it. I don’t think you can win by doing the same thing everybody else is doing, and this is a Country Club: makes the radio remote rounds really cool feature that enhances the brand.” at the ACM Awards in 1994, visiting with KZLA/Los South Georgia’s WBYX/Baxley, GA has been running the Angeles.

Right now stations receive the show delivery split to include a spot break. “So far free via Dropbox or email. “Silver and I always knew that a show it’s been good response,” Kasey says. “We formatted like this would be well-received,” he says. “When PDs plan to keep it for as long as we can.” started asking us for it, we were thrilled to deliver.” For Clear Channel KZSN/Wichita PD “The beauty of this product moving forward is it can be customized to Brian Jennings, the individual song mixes fit any station’s needs,” Gale says. “Could it be a full air shift for 7pm- “really punch up the evenings.” He doesn’t Keith Gale 12am Saturday nights?

One of the more creative approaches comes from WKML, where PD Dean0 and afternooner Larry K Smith have a competition planned. “We’ll start the first of November telling listeners how they can contribute as we grow our beards and, at the end of the month, whoever donates the most in each of our names will get to shave us at an upcoming event,” Dean0 says. “At our Nov. 18 guitar pull, we’ll announce that the beard event will be a Dec. 6 concert with Scotty McCreery. The winners will get to have dinner with Scotty before the show, two tickets and the chance to shave our beards onstage before he performs. Dean0 “We’re working to set up some kind of tailgate or something at a restaurant where the winner will get to spend a half-hour with Scotty,” Dean0 continues. “It will be better than a regular meet-and-greet. And all of that will encourage people to go to the website and donate.” The McCreery show will be dubbed the WKML Big Beard Bash. “Our St. Jude show that concludes our radiothon in the spring is ©2013 Country Aircheck™ — All rights reserved.

Fans have been able to preview individual “You can do all kinds of things to tell people to go donate,” tracks on iTunes since mid-August.
