Issue 209 Music & Mornings Many Factors Determine the Amount of Music a Country Station Plays in Morning Drive September 13, 2010 Issue 209 Music & Mornings Many factors determine the amount of music a Country station plays in morning drive. The competitive situation, spot load, caliber of air talent and even a change in morning shows are among them. Most recently, PPM ratings have led a number of programmers to increase the amount of music heard between 6-10am. For purposes of this week’s study, we looked at a variety of market situations to see how many songs were played in morning drive on a Wednesday for the last 12 months (excluding December 2009). As always, all airplay information comes from our friends at Mediabase 24/7. Stand Alone PPM Markets KKGO/Los Angeles has added a couple of songs per hour in the Medal Heads: “Not bad for an old radio guy!” says WGH-FM/AM/Norfolk last three months.

Curb’s Tim McGraw played the XLV Countdown WKLB/Boston has also remained steady across all four hours over Live From Cowboys Stadium Friday evening (9/10), the last year. It very consistently airs 10-11 songs in the 6am hour, which is part of the region’s buildup to the upcoming 9-10 in the 7am hour, 12 in the 8am hour and 13 in the 9am slot. Super Bowl.

    August 13, 2012, Issue 307 Song Counts: Clock Watching When it comes to music, the titles heard on Country radio nationwide are generally a common thread, but how many are played each hour and how they’re packaged is another story entirely – nowhere more so than in mornings. In week two of Country Aircheck’s morning-drive song count analysis, the focus turns to diary markets in competitive and stand-alone situations. Below we examine song counts and stopsets per hour, and how programmers are distributing each. Competitive markets offer interesting comparisons, particularly Oklahoma City and its four Country stations. Though ranked No. The Suite Life: Jake Owen and WMZQ/Washington’s Meg Stevens 50 by Arbitron and with Memphis (51) and Hartford (52) working about to settle in for Kenny Chesney’s set during the Brothers Of in PPM, the diary still prevails in OKC.
