Those stations were Todd Thomas 36% more likely to boost occasions by at least 10% than a control group of similarly formatted stations in comparable-sized markets which didn’t offer the feature. Stations using Instant Alerts increased the number of tune-in occasions by an average of 5.75 times in comparison with the control group. Moreover, the use of Instant Alerts may lead to more robust listener engagement. Nielsen found that more than 83% of consumers Run For The Border: Then-KYCY/San Francisco who became Instant Alert users said they planned to listen more to personality Melissa McConnell with Capitol’s Garth that station in the coming week, with a majority saying they intended Brooks at CRS 1994’s artist taping session where he to listen “a lot more.” More than 70% of these also said they were mingled for nearly eight hours. “As it got late Garth more likely to recommend the station to a friend. said he could ‘easily make a Taco Bell run and drop Front Lines: Programmers were hesitant to discuss local about 20 bucks!’ We were all pretty punchy at that results in detail, but were quick to sing the platform’s praises. “I point and he surprised me with a neck lock and really like it,” notes a major market PD who doesn’t want to be made everybody laugh.” Send your own “happy named. “Anything that allows additional listener interaction and shots” to [email protected]. input is good.

  • Keith Hill on Keith Hill
    June 1, 2015, Issue 450 Addressing SaladGate Six pages of in-depth reporting on Women In Country and a post-CRS panel write-up in which Keith Hill urged slashing female- voiced songs made nary a ripple outside the business a few months back. 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.

  • THE MUSICAL FEATURES of 2015'S TOP-RANKED COUNTRY SONGS
    THE MUSICAL FEATURES OF 2015’s TOP-RANKED COUNTRY SONGS By Mason Taylor Allen Senior Honors Thesis Department of Music University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill April 22, 2016 Approved: Dr. Jocelyn R. Neal, Thesis Advisor Dr. Allen Anderson, Reader Dr. Andrea Bohlman, Reader © 2016 Mason Taylor Allen ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Mason Taylor Allen: The Musical Features of 2015’s Top-Ranked Country Songs Under the direction of Dr. Jocelyn R. Neal The 2015 top-ten country songs analyzed in this study are characterized by the various formats of their song form, harmonies, and lyrics. This thesis presents a comprehensive study of the structure and narratives in sixty-seven songs that summarizes the distinctive features within those domains of contemporary commercial country music. A detailed description of the norm along with identifiable trends emerges. The song form that features most prominently in this repertory includes a verse-chorus-bridge form with three iterations of the chorus, an intro and outro section, and instrumental sections immediately following each chorus. The top-ten country songs have varying degrees of departure from this typical model. Primary features of the harmonies of these top songs include the frequent use of a double-tonic complex, the absence of a 5-1 authentic cadence, the same chord progression throughout the verse, chorus, and bridge, and the use of only two chords throughout the song. Lyrical analyses show that 2015 songs are continuing the traditional themes about romantic attraction, love, heartache, good times and partying, home, family, nostalgia, religion, and inspiration, within the context of small-town country life that this genre has used for years.

  • Issue 469 Motor Mouths: Country in Detroit “Detroit: Cars and Rock ‘N’ Roll
    October 12, 2015, Issue 469 Motor Mouths: Country In Detroit “Detroit: Cars and Rock ‘n’ Roll. Not a bad combo.” Nice, Kid Rock. But what are either without radio? Motor City call letters including WCSX, WRIF, WOMC, WKQI, WJR, WWWW and WYCD have become famous over the years with help from Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Steve Kostan and Arthur Penhallow, National Radio Hall of Famers Dick Purtan, J.P. McCarthy, Steve Dahl and Howard Stern, and Country Radio Hall of Famer Dr. Don Carpenter, to name a few. Not a bad pedigree. PPM market No. 12 is changing, though, especially with respect to Country. For starters, CBS Radio’s WYCD got its first direct challenger in four years when Cumulus Adult Hits WDRQ adopted the company’s Nash brand in late 2013 (Breaking News 12/13/13). And just a few weeks ago Carpenter ended his 10- year WYCD morning run, which led to other on-air changes at the station (CAT 8/5). Country Aircheck details some of those and checks WDRQ’s progress here. Write On: Rosanne Cash, Mark James, Even Stevens On The Market: Detroit – Rust Belt city or city on a and Craig Wiseman were inducted into the Nashville comeback? “Detroit is on a great comeback, but there was a time Songwriters Hall Fame last night (10/11) at the 45th Anniversary Hall of Fame Gala held at the Music City where people moved out of the market,” says Center.

  • Rick Springfield on the Back Waters Stage!
    Contact: Abby Ferguson | Marketing Manager 563-585-3002 | [email protected] July 5, 2017 - For Immediate Release Rick Springfield on the Back Waters Stage! Dubuque, IA - Rick Springfield has joined the lineup on the Back Waters Stage. He’ll be performing this Labor Day weekend - Sunday, September 3. Over the past three decades, Rick Springfield has worn many hats as an entertainer and performer. The creator of some of the finest power-pop of the ’80s, he’s a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and musician who has sold 25 million albums and scored 17 U.S. Top 40 hits, including “Jessie’s Girl,” “Don’t Talk to Strangers,” “An Affair of the Heart,” “I’ve Done Everything for You,” “Love Somebody,” and “Human Touch.” He’s an accomplished actor who most recently starred opposite Meryl Streep in the feature film Ricki and the Flash and gave a chameleonic performance as the creepy Dr. Pitlor in HBO’s prestige drama True Detective. He’s also a talented author — both his candid 2010 memoir Late, Late at Night (which Rolling Stone named one of the 25 greatest rock memoirs of all time) and his 2014 comedic novel Magnificent Vibration earned rave reviews and spots on the New York Times Best Sellers’ list. In 2013, Springfield wrote and recorded “The Man That Never Was” with Dave Grohl for the soundtrack to Sound City — the Foo Fighters’ frontman’s documentary about the San Fernando Valley recording studio that was Springfield’s home away from home (his manager owned the building). Rolling Stone called Springfield’s touching interview in the film its “breakout story.” In 2014, Springfield was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, located around the corner from the first apartment he lived in when he first arrived in the U.S.

    800.275.2840 MORE NEWS» insideradio.com THE MOST TRUSTED NEWS IN RADIO TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2015 Nov. Survey—Numbers Worth Giving Thanks For. Nielsen’s November survey provides the last barometer before the Christmas format disrupts normal listening habits in PPM markets. But even before the holiday format’s enormous ratings impact is felt, newly released numbers have brought tidings of comfort and joy to its host stations. In Philadelphia, Jerry Lee Broadcasting AC “More FM” WBEB surged 6.8-7.3-8.0 among listeners 6+ since September for its strongest November 6+ showing in at least four years. That’s more than a full share ahead of where it was last November when it headed into the radio equivalent of the Super Bowl with a 6.8 share. Philly’s other soon- to-be all-Christmas outlet, CBS Radio’s classic hits WOGL (98.1), also heads into the season on a major ratings upswing, lunging 4.6-5.9 to rank third. In New York, iHeartMedia AC “106.7 Lite FM” WLTW is looking fine for the holiday audience influx, ranked first with a 6.8. Ditto in Houston, where AC sister “Sunny 99.1” KODA has been slowly gaining share (7.5-7.6-7.7) while keeping its lock on No. 1. In the ultra-compressed Los Angeles market, perennial iHeart holiday station “Coast 103” KOST has pre-Christmas momentum, improving 4.5-5.0 to rank fourth and just 0.7 away from CBS Radio’s top-rated classic hits “K-Earth 101” KRTH.
