  • Q&A: Meet KVOO's Dena Fletcher Honor Roll
    August 26 2019, Issue 668 Q&A: Meet KVOO’s Dena Fletcher Newly minted KVOO/Tulsa PD Dena Fletcher (CAT 7/12) spent more than a dozen years at crosstown Cox Classic Rock KSJR before making the move to Country. 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. She spoke with Country Aircheck about her radio roots, her programming philosophy and what most appeals to her about Country radio. CA: When were you first bitten by the radio bug? 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. Shortly thereafter, I started Indy Go: Broken Bow’s Jason Aldean (c) in Indianapolis with working at a local Rock station and it was off to the races. (l-r) WFMS’ Boomer Layfield, Albright & O’Malley & Brenner’s Do you recall your earliest memories of interacting Dan VanLandingham, the label’s Dawn Ferris, WLHK’s Cara with radio as a medium and a listener? Denis, WFMS’ Adam Kashner and WLHK’s Krystal Keithley, Kyle Knezevich and Jackie Robinson. Like most radio people, I was hanging out in my room listening to the radio as a kid. I lived in a fairly remote part of West Texas, so that was my connection to the rest of the world.

    <BillNo> <Sponsor> HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION 790 By Beck A RESOLUTION to recognize and honor the Grand Ole Opry on the celebration of its ninety-fifth anniversary. WHEREAS, the members of this General Assembly are proud to specially recognize a legendary institution that has contributed significantly to the country music industry and brought acclaim to the State of Tennessee the world over; and WHEREAS, no mass media event is more associated with the State of Tennessee than the WSM radio program known as The Grand Ole Opry. Not only is The Grand Ole Opry the longest-running radio show in U.S. history, but it is renowned as the cornerstone for the dynamic commercial art form of country music; and WHEREAS, the Grand Ole Opry and its offspring comprise, or are affiliated with, the State's major tourist attractions, and the Opry's commercial power and attraction have been the primary reasons for Nashville's emergence as a music recording center; and WHEREAS, the saga of the Grand Ole Opry began on the night of November 28, 1925, when a young announcer on Nashville radio station WSM introduced an eighty-year-old fiddle player, Uncle Jimmy Thompson, as the first performer on a new show called The WSM Barn Dance; and WHEREAS, announcer George D.

  • Issue 409 Garth’S Coming: Now What? If Anything Is Known About Garth Brooks, It’S That He Does Things Big
    August 18, 2014, Issue 409 Garth’s Coming: Now What? If anything is known about Garth Brooks, it’s that he does things big. The same has been true so far of his touring come- back, which started in Chicago with an on-sale that was unlike anything CBS Radio VP/Country Programming and WUSN/Chi- cago PD Jeff Kapugi had ever seen. “One of the best days I have had as a program director in this crazy business” is how he later described it. Given that Garth last toured more than a decade ago, there a lot of other programmers who aren’t quite sure what to expect because they were either in another format or, *cough*, were too young. With that Jeff Kapugi in mind, Country Aircheck examined how Garth’s tour has played out at radio so far. Guitars And Tiki Bars: WQIK/Jacksonville’s Cindy Spicer and The Lead-Up: Garth’s 10 dates in Chicago are a good Columbia’s RJ Meacham take in Kenny Chesney’s Flora-Bama place to start. Though a fan dubbed “Andy from Atlanta” got to Jama Saturday (8/16), with Chesney and David Lee Murphy break the tour-open news on the afternoon of July 14, Kapugi and onstage behind them. ‘USN Dir./Promotions Pam Hamil got a heads up from the pro- moter early that morning. “Obviously we needed to wait for Garth Chesney’s First Jama to call Andy before we could flip the switch and let the confetti fly,” They came to see Kenny Chesney and his only 2014 concert Kapugi says.

  • Romans #6 - Crazy Grace Bad News for “Good” People
    Romans #6 - Crazy Grace Bad News For “Good” People - Well, are you having a good day? - [Audience] Yes. - I'm about to ruin it. We're in Romans 3. We're going through a great book of the Bible. We're in Romans 3 and in Romans 1 and 2, Paul tells us that God's evaluation of the human condition is that we are sinners that we're fallen, that we're the problem, and we're not the solution. It's a bit like going to your doctor and your doctor being really honest with you. I'll give you an example from my own life. Some years ago, I wasn't doing well physically, I had allergies and I was getting bloody noses and I couldn't sleep, and I had heartburn and I was just not well, I had a nervous eye twitch because I was stressed, everybody in the church thought I was flirting with them. I wasn't, I was just a little freaked out. And what happened then was, one of my kids, looked at grace who was in the third trimester with one of our soon to be born children and looked at me and said, "Daddy, are you having a baby too?" And I was like, "No, I'm having an ice cream baby. I need to make some lifestyle changes." So I go to the doctor and the doctor says "Okay, you need a heartburn medicine, you need sleep medicine. You need anxiety meds, all of these medicines. And so then you do the terrifying thing where you look at the potential side effects.

  • Larry Gatlin Washington, DC’S Corey Spotlighting Individual Inductees Leading up to the Oct
    September 3 2019, Issue 669 Pick Six: Label Draft 2019 Seven years ago, Country Aircheck’s Fantasy Label Draft began as an entertaining forum for radio pros to chat about artists and make bold predictions for the year to come. For the first six seasons, VP/GM Chuck Aly served as commissioner and declared winners based upon a method that is just questionable enough to have come from the New England Patriots’ camp, “Chuck’s Eyeball Test.” But this is 2019, and all bets are off. No participation trophies here! What good is a game without a winner? And how do you declare a winner without a score? As a new commissioner takes the field, a painstaking analysis was done to determine a fair- yet-competitive points system, which has been ratified by this year’s ownership group – KUPL/Portland’s MoJoe Roberts; KFRG/ Riverside, CA’s Heather Kind Of A Pig Deal: Premiere’s Bobby Bones, coach Chad Morris, Froglear; KRYS/Corpus Valory’s Justin Moore and singer/songwriter Joe Nichols (l-r) at MoJoe Roberts Kay Manley the Arkansas Razorbacks game Saturday (8/31).
