Air Talent Boot Up Their PPM Skills
Don Anthony’s first Nashville-based Morning Show Boot
Camp brought together an energetic, motivated crowd of several
hundred air personalities, producers, programmers and station
executives last week. Perhaps nothing received more attention
than PPM, especially after Top 40 KIIS/Los Angeles’ Ryan
Seacrest recently went on-air with competitor Alternative KROQ/
Los Angeles’ Kevin & Bean complaining about being asked to
play more music.
Those sentiments were echoed at MSBC by KKWF/Seattle’s
Fitz, who, in two sessions, acknowledged grudgingly increasing
from two songs an hour to five or six. Top 40 KRBE/Houston
morning co-host Ryan Chase said, “It’s not true that you have to
play more music in the morning. It’s format to format. We’re Hot
AC in the morning, and our success is based on TSL. You’re not
going to get it with hits and bits.”
Rhythmic WRDW (Wired 96)/Philadelphia’s 10-year morning
man Chio, who plays six songs per hour, said, “The philosophy
depends on your format and who you’re talking to. On a youngend station, you gotta be a lot quicker. The 18-28-year-olds won’t
give you much time for bullshit. We were No. 2 in the diary, and
in PPM had to make some adjustments. The adjustment is people
freaking out about songs. But it’s the format, not the number of
songs. Content must be quicker and faster [not always by adding
music]. Maybe add music underneath. People say, ‘F#@! PPM.’ I
say, you better embrace PPM. It’s comin’.”

Nettles, Sugarland Return
After a week off and three cancelled shows, Sugarland
were back at it over the weekend, with singer Jennifer Nettles
showing no ill-effects from her recent voice troubles. The duo
had cancelled three shows since July 23 to allow Nettles to rest
strained vocal cords, and the remedy seems to have worked. “I
thought she sounded great,” says
KUPL/Portland PD John Paul
of Friday’s show (7/31). “They
didn’t seem to cut the set short.
They played from about 7:209:10pm for a sold-out crowd.
You couldn’t even tell she was

having voice problems a week earlier.”
KMPS/Seattle MD Tony Thomas was at Saturday’s show.
“Jennifer was 100% strong, on and rockin’,” he says. “No
doubts about her voice from what we heard in Seattle. Their
set was fantastic. Listeners I spoke with afterwards loved
Sugarland’s set. And their cover of Pearl Jam’s “Better Man”
was quite effective.”
Report: CC Has Pandora Deal
The Katz 360 Digital Sales unit,
a division of Clear Channel’s Katz
Media Group, will begin selling
display and audio advertising on
Pandora, according to a story in AdAge.com. Founder Tim
Westergren noted, “Over time, as we grow into our shoes, this
relationship will naturally evolve.” While some speculate that
CC might be seeking to broaden the partnership into content
areas, Westergren says the partnership is “really about ad
sales, nothing more.” Proving that business is just business,
Pandora is asking its tens of millions of subscribers to support
the Performance Rights Act, which terrestrial broadcasters
vigorously oppose.
Chart Chat
Congrats to Darius Rucker, SVP/Promotion
Steve Hodges, VP/Promotion Shane Allen
and the rest of the Capitol promotion team on
this week’s No. 1 with Rucker’s “Alright.” The
song is Rucker’s third-consecutive No. 1 from
his debut country album Learn To Live, joining
Darius Rucker
“Don’t Think I Don’t Think About It” and “It
Won’t Be Like This For Long.” (Rucker’s latest appears to be a
sign he’s trying to cut down on the average word length of his
single titles.)
And not insignificantly, Capitol has scored three of the last
four No. 1 singles on this chart, holding the position for three of
the last five weeks. Lady A’s “I Run To You” topped the chart
July 13, with Dierks Bentley’s “Sideways” topping out July 6.

My Tunes: Music That Shaped My Life
Colt Ford discusses his most important
songs, artists or concerts:
1) Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, UGA
Coliseum: This show really made an impact
on me. Watching the two legends together
was definitely memorable.
2) The Commodores, UGA Coliseum: I
credit their show with really turning me on
to R&B. Everyone in the horn section were
great musicians.
Colt Ford
3) Run-DMC’s self-titled album: They mixed
rap and rock on that album, and were way ahead of their time.
4) Elvis: My mom and dad loved “The King,” so we had all of his
records growing up. I was just blown away by him from an early age.
5) Jamey Johnson, That Lonesome Song: One of the most amazing
records I have ever heard. It even makes me write music differently.
• A highly regarded song or album you’ve never heard: The
Beatles. I know I have heard songs, but to be honest, I really
couldn’t name a single one.
• An “important” piece of music you just don’t get: Led
Zeppelin. My wife is a huge fan and she tells me all about what
Robert Plant was saying in all their stuff. I just never got it.
• An album you played or listened to incessantly: Johnson’s
That Lonesome Song. I had it months before it came out, and I
listen to it every day.
• One obscure or non-country song everyone should listen to
right now: My 14-year-old daughter let me hear Lady Gaga; her
whole album is great.

Air Talent Boot Up
(continued from page 1)
To that end, Abitron Mgr./Marketing Communications
Ron Rodrigues advised, “It’s better for stations not to make
a lot of profound changes before going to PPM. Use the two
months of pre-currency to evaluate as a baseline to see what’s
required, if anything. There are lots of differences from market
to market, and make sure that responsibility for PPM is shared
with everyone.” He also provided WRC-TV/Washington’s news
clock to illustrate how one might place programming in the first
seven minutes to help secure a quarter-hour’s credit. “You have
15 minutes to get five; every minute that goes by gives you one
less to get that credit. We have research to show a good song
can beat a bad bit, but great content can beat a song. It’s a broad
brush that PPM loves music … we like to think that PPM loves
expectations fulfilled. What does the listener expect to hear?”
Lincoln Financial Radio Division President Don Benson
noted, “PPM gets you to clean things up. But you’ve got to be
careful to the point of being sterile. There are some things that
should be trimmed or adjusted, but a totally error-free show can
be pretty bland. We look for people willing to take some chances
and who are not afraid to make a mistake. What you’re really
hiring in good shows are the skill sets of people who can adjust
to situations, and not the shows themselves.”
Meanwhile, Saga EVP/Group PD Steve Goldstein advised
talent to take a tip from country artists in maximizing their
visibility in today’s difficult financial times. “We on the sales
side have been underplaying the star power for years,” he said.
“Clients enjoy time with the talent, and become invested in
them. We’re asking people to do a lot more than that. At CRS,
country stars know how to work the room beautifully. There’s no
equivalent in the rock world. You need to know how to manage
the room moving forward; it will make you more valuable.”
CBS Radio SVP/Programming Greg Strassell added, “When
was the last time you called your top five advertisers to say,
‘Thank you’? That goodwill will go a long way.”
Attendees broke for format-specific sessions Friday afternoon.
Blair Garner moderated the Country panel, which was ably
represented by syndicated personality Moby, KMLE/Phoenix’s
Page 7
Tim & Willy, WXTU/Philadelphia’s Andie & Kris and the
aforementioned Fitz. Garner directed the discussion through
topics including finding a voice, show structure, formatspecific approaches, the impact of PPM and the use of
emerging technologies.
Moby noted that developing a rapport with listeners was a
process of just “sitting down and wanting to communicate.”
Self-confessed aircheck junkie Fitz says the words of an admired
personality helped him: “Every time you listen to someone else
it takes away from you sounding like yourself.” Andie added,
“Country fans can tell if you’re real.” Kris concurred. “You
don’t want to be my waitress because I’m going to harass you
the same way I do Andie on-air.”
In terms of new media like Facebook, Andie said she’s
observed that questions that get lots of response online
tend to work on the radio. Discussing chemistry in morning
teams, Hattrick said he’d once been paired with Glenn Beck,
resulting in good shows but off-air screaming matches.
“Nobody was a bigger fan of Glenn Beck,” he said, wistfully,
“than Glenn Beck.”
Conversation about prep services prompted Moby to note,
“Anything that happens in your life is show prep.” Several of
the personalities noted the need for a code word or signal to
indicated that a guest needs to leave the studio. “’Liners’ is the
code word,” Fitz said. “Hey, can you do some liners for us?”
Moby laughed when telling of running his hands through his
hair – his signal – so many times it was like beating himself on
the head.
Willy urged jocks to take a lesson from country’s artists. “You
have to get in the trenches with the people,” he said. “Love your
listeners up.” Andie was blunt in her advice: “Live the life,” she
said, “because they’ll see right through you. If you’re an a-hole
off-air, be an a-hole on-air. They’ll respect you for it.”
