  • Issue 626 Get by with a Little Help If the Headlines Tell Us Anything, It’S Expect the Unexpected
    November 5, 2018, Issue 626 Get By With A Little Help If the headlines tell us anything, it’s expect the unexpected. Floods, hurricanes, fires, medical emergencies, unemployment – stuff happens. In creative industries like radio and music with their propensity for freelance, contract and part-time employees, it’s nice to know there’s a safety net. And there is. The country business supports a number of organizations that are working hard to be there for people when they need it most. Here’s an overview: ACM Lifting Lives’ Diane Holcomb Emergency Relief Fund: Established to honor Holcomb’s memory by her daughter, WME’s Gayle Holcomb, the fund allows ACMLL to quickly assist with unexpected needs in times of crisis. For Gayle Holcomb, it’s not only about helping people going through tough times, it’s about doing so with grace and confidentiality. “From helping a family replace important household items after a devastating fire to Experience Experiment: RCA’s Kane Brown celebrates his new album Experiment with a listening event on The Bobby Gayle Holcomb paying bills for someone struggling following Hotel rooftop in downtown Nashville.

    April 18, 2016, Issue 495 Inside The ACMs With RAC Clark Our annual interview with Exec. Producer RAC Clark offers insight into the 51st ACM Awards (4/3) and many of its notable performances. CA: Let’s hit the numbers first and talk about this year’s ratings... RAC: They sucked. I’ll just say that. They sucked. [Ed. Note: 11.18 million viewers, 2.3 rating/7 share]. But it was one of the more competitive nights we’ve had since being up against the American Idol finale a few years back. The Walking Dead was big. The iHeart awards didn’t rate that well, really, so I don’t think that hurt us. The Walking Dead really got us and Steve Harvey’s Little Big Shots is a new hit on NBC that actually beat us in the second half-hour at 8pm. We won the night, but ratings were down year- to-year after a spectacular year in Dallas with the 50th. When we talked to producer Robert Deaton about the CMAs, he said, “I’ve never completely understood wanting to compare us against the AMAs, Grammys, ACMs or In A Big Way: EMI/Nashville’s Eric Paslay (third Oscars.” His point was, an awards show’s competition is from right) with (l-r) WEBG (Big 95.5)/Chicago’s Erik what it’s facing that night, not something that’s airing in Zachary and Mason, EMI’s Chris Fabiani and the an entirely different month.
