Concerts from country’s most buzzed about new artists? Probably not unless you live in Longview, WA and listen to Washington Interstate’s 700W Class A KUKN (Cookin’ Country). Former Westwood One VP/ Programming and Longview native John Paul returned home as the station’s GM last year (CAW 7/21/14) and he’s using some big city radio tricks to shake things up. KUKN launched its quarterly New Faces Of Nashville concert series last December and it’s fast becoming the hottest ticket around while adding nicely to the station’s bottom line. Missing A Beat: “We just don’t get many shows,” Paul explains, citing Longview’s Blake Effect Show: Warner Bros./WMN’s Blake Shelton (c) with proximity to both Portland and Seattle. (l-r) the label’s Kevin Herring, iHeartMedia’s Maynard and “That’s where most people go. But we have Rod Phillips, WMN’s Kristen Williams, KWNR/Las Vegas’ JoJo Turnbeaugh and iHeartMedia’s Hartley Adkins and John Ivey at John Paul a beautifully restored vaudeville theater that’s been turned into a performing arts center and the iHeartRadio Music Festival. it made sense to consider renting it for some acoustic concerts.” Based on the population of KUKN’s service area (roughly 115,000; United We Band 36,000 within the city limits) and other considerations, Paul figured After the local shooting of a Navy sailor and four Marines July 16, the market could support four shows a year.

  • 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).

  • Listening, Learning, and Connoisseurship in Old-Time Music
    CATCHING THE “WILD NOTE”: LISTENING, LEARNING, AND CONNOISSEURSHIP IN OLD-TIME MUSIC Joseph Edward Decosimo A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of American Studies. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Glenn Hinson Louise Meintjes Andrea Bohlman Bernard Herman Elizabeth Engelhardt © 2018 Joseph Edward Decosimo ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Joseph Edward Decosimo: Catching the “Wild Note”: Listening, Learning, and Connoisseurship in Old-time Music (Under the direction of Glenn Hinson) As we approach the century mark for audio recording projects that began documenting traditional music forms in the southern U.S., it is worth interrogating the profound ways that old commercial and field recordings shape contemporary performance practices and understandings of these genres, especially as copies of older recordings circulate widely and unexpectedly and accumulate new meanings. This project examines the ways that sound recordings and technologies mediate contemporary performance practices, aesthetics, and social relationships in the context of Old-time music, especially among Old-time practitioners in East Tennessee, a site long associated with the genre. An ethnography of listening, learning, and performance practices among expert Old-time musicians, this dissertation brings conversations about the splitting and circulation of sounds from their sources to bear on long-standing concerns about modes of transmission of traditional and local knowledge. Thinking about the transmission of traditional music as a process thoroughly imbricated with sound technologies yields new questions, stories, and understandings about Old-time music making and the study of expressive culture.
