Meanwhile, more than a few diary stations exhibit market dominance despite the distractions and shrinking marketing budgets that mark our era. We talked to PDs from three such markets about the broad and specific ways they achieve success – lessons that may be applicable across the board. Primary among them: Localism and consistency. Flake News: The morning show has been crucial to a marked upsurge at KCTR (Cat Country 102.9)/Billings, MT, according to Brand Manager Johnny Vincent. “The Breakfast Flakes – Mark Wilson and Paul Mushaben – have been on Cat Country for 32 years,” Vincent says. “They are so well- The Fest Wing: RCA’s Old Dominion at the iHeartRadio Music entrenched, so Billings, that listeners always Festival in Las Vegas.

Her trip across the street reunites her with Griffin/Tulsa Dir./Radio Operations & Programming Steve Hunter, who gave Fletcher her first PD gig in 2007.

DF: During junior college in Odessa, Texas, I was focused on journalism, but a friend Dena Fletcher suggested a give radio a try for fun. College radio was so much fun that by my second semester, I was the student PD – probably because no one else wanted the job. It was actual work and didn’t pay, but I loved it.

If 2020 was the summer where everyone stayed home, 2021 will be the one where people can’t wait to get back out.

  • Keith Hill on Keith Hill

But the consultant’s lettuce-and-tomatoes analogy last week in this space touched off a social and, eventually, major media tidal wave. Go figure. We’ll get to Hill in the next story (right), after female PDs and MDs weigh in with their thoughts on a well-known though still confounding reality. In full disclosure, some of the women we contacted declined to contribute for lack of time or lack of what they felt would be helpful feedback. Some passed because they weren’t comfortable publicly commenting in a “no-win argument.” And some came to us asking to be part of the conversation.

  • 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.

  • EE 321 AM Radio Stations in Spokane Area Fall 2017
    EE 321 AM Radio Stations in Spokane Area Fall 2017 Conventional amplitude modulation (AM) radio stations use carrier frequencies spaced 10 kHz apart, over the range of 535 kHz to 1605 kHz. Demodulation occurs by frequency shifting the carrier down to the intermediate frequency (IF) of 455 kHz, and passing the signal through a fixed narrow-band filter with bandwidth 10 kHz, centered at 455 kHz. The ideal frequency response characteristic is the “brick-wall” bandpass filter shown below. The 17 AM radio stations listed below are in the greater Spokane area. Note that two have the same carrier frequency (KOFE at 1240 AM in St. Maries, ID and KCVL at 1240 AM in Colville, WA) with one other station adjacent in frequency (KSBN at 1230 in Spokane, WA). What is the topography of the area between these three locations?
