In Country Radio
THEBEST PROGRAM DIRECTORS IN COUNTRY RADIO hey are some of the most important names in Nashville, and across the Country radio fruited plain. They are on a first-name basis with country music’s biggest stars and Nashville’s most important executives. Why? Because radio is still the most important outlet for music to be played and heard, and the PDs on the pages that follow carry around the keys to the radio stations country music fans love most. The relation- tship between country stars, Country PDs, Country radio stations, and the country music fans is like none in any other format. If you’ve ever attended a Country Radio Seminar in Nashville, you know exactly what we mean. The stars mingle with the programmers, great relationships are formed, and a lot of artists and PDs talk or text on a regular basis. And being one of the Best Country Program Directors is much more than mingling with the stars. A successful Country PD has to execute the format flawlessly in markets where there is typically more than one station compet- ing for country fans. A successful Country PD has to have an ear for the music, and be willing to take chances on a new song or new artist. A successful Country PD has to nurture relationships with label executives in Nashville who now have more outlets than ever to get their music to the masses. And a successful Country PD must serve the local community, which is one of the hallmarks, along with strong ratings, of a consistently successful Country radio station. -

Power Gold: Concentration Game CMA Sets Trend for Industry
February 10, 2020, Issue 691 Power Gold: Concentration Game This edition of Country Aircheck’s Power Gold is led by eight artists who combine for 46 of the Top 100 most-heard Gold hits. 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).

KNIX's Barrel Boy Filled with Gratitude 15 Years After Stepping Into
2021 AUGUST 23 CountryInsider.com | Sign Up For Daily Email Here KNIX’s Barrel Boy Filled With Gratitude 15 Years After Stepping Into Costume. On Aug. 26, 2006, Barrel Boy had yet to don a barrel. He was in his early 20s and came to work at iHeartMedia KNIX Phoenix (102.5), hopelessly hungover after a night of heavy drinking at a bowling alley. Barrel and friends were celebrating the first night of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s “Soul 2 Soul Tour” doubleheader in Phoenix. His PD sent him home, told him to pull himself together and return to cover the second shift. Retribution, he said, was in order. Barrel Boy wasn’t in trouble, but the PD wanted to have some fun at his expense. (Continued on page 4) COUNTRY INSIDER TOP 5: WUBL’s Angie Ward: From College Radio To Country Radio Hall of Fame.

Curtis Media Announces New Radio Station Playing Classic Country Hits
IMMEDIATE RELEASE CURTIS MEDIA ANNOUNCES NEW RADIO STATION PLAYING CLASSIC COUNTRY HITS RALEIGH, NC (May 10, 2010) The biggest Country music artists of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s are back on the air and on-line thanks to a new venture by Curtis Media Group. This morning, the company launched Country Legends 570AM, the new WQDR. Like its famous sibling, 94.7 WQDR-FM, Country Legends 570 will feature Nashville’s megastars. But unlike WQDR-FM, which plays today’s best and most continuous Country songs, the playlist for Country Legends 570 will hark back to the decades before Garth Brooks, Taylor Swift and Tim McGraw made Country music an international, multi-media phenomenon. “It’s a brand new radio station for listeners who loved Country music before Country went Hollywood,” said Curtis Media President/COO Phil Zachary. “If you’ve wondered where all those Hall of Fame artists have gone, they’re right back where they belong…on the radio.” Country Legends 570 will feature an extensive playlist built around superstar artists like Waylon Jennings, George Strait, Anne Murray, Kenny Rogers, Crystal Gayle, Alabama, Eddie Rabbit, Dolly Parton, Ronnie Milsap, The Oak Ridge Boys, Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson and many more. In keeping with today’s consumer trends, the new Country Legends 570 will be available to listeners on a multi-portal distribution platform. Besides its traditional signal on the AM band, the new station can also be heard via live Web stream at www.countrylegends570.com and through a mobile application available soon at no charge from the iPhone App Store. -

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). Pictured (l-r) are EMI’s Ron Bradley, without the luxuries of AMTs and callout KTOM/Modesto’s Sam Diggedy and Tim Nickerson, Paslay, research, but it’s not impossible. “You’ve Big Machine’s Brooke Diaz, KRTY’s Nate Deaton and Jamie got three important tools in that situation Jackson and WR’s George Birge and Cody Cooper. – the age of the song, the number of times you’ve played it in the category and the total number of times it’s played on the station. -

The History of Radio in Emanuel County Part I – WJAT Radio, 1950 Thru 1975, Also the Entertainment Activities of the Nancy Auditorium by Rick Paul
The History of Radio in Emanuel County Part I – WJAT Radio, 1950 thru 1975, Also the entertainment activities of the Nancy Auditorium By Rick Paul Swainsboro, Georgia has a rather unique radio history. From its humble beginnings, we were dazzled and entertained by events that only a short time earlier would have seemed unimaginable. The history of WJAT radio, while interesting enough, really cannot be told completely without including the entertainment activities of the Nancy Auditorium. What a thrill it must have been as citizens witnessed our sleepy little town transform from an obscure logging and farming hamlet into one of the five most significant country music venues in the country. Even more exciting, and maybe a little scary for some, when you consider that country music was still new and rock and roll unheard of. Truly amazing! I began collecting information for this piece in the 60s while hanging around the radio station as a typical teenager, fascinated by juicy stories being told about the radio station and its people. Later, after actually becoming an employee and hearing even spicier pieces of station lore, it dawned on me that someone should write this stuff down. Well, here we are all these years later, and alas, not much has been written about WJAT Radio or the events at the Nancy Auditorium. Recently, I felt the time had finally come to put down on paper some of the things I had learned over the years. And so I began, intent on covering all aspects of our radio/entertainment history. I wanted to really dig in, separate fact from fiction, inform the unaware, bring about a greater appreciation for a bygone era and maybe even learn some new facts along the way. -
