  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Resurfacing in a Pandemic: Why Radio Re-Embraced Parmalee. It All Begins with a Song
    2021 March 15 CountryInsider.com | Sign Up For Daily Email Here Resurfacing In A Pandemic: Why Radio Re-Embraced Parmalee. It all begins with a song. When Steve Stewart, director of operations for Cox Media Group Orlando and PD at “K92.3” WWKA, first heard Parmalee’s “Just the Way” feat. Blanco Brown in October 2019, he knew the band had a hit on its hands. It took more than a year for other stations to agree. Parmalee, who first played Stewart the song on a tour bus after an Orlando show, is No. 1 on this week’s Mediabase country chart — eight years after last topping the chart with “Carolina” in 2013. The band released “Just the Way” December 2019 and WWKA became the first station to add it the following month.
