Will CC’s Q1 Freeze Chill CRS?
By now you’ve either heard about – or probably even read
– the memo from Clear Channel Radio President/CEO John
Hogan outlining the first quarter contingency plan that must
be adhered to by all stations. But what is the
on-the-frontlines reality of the missive and,
even closer to home, what will it mean for the
upcoming Country Radio Seminar?
Hogan’s Friday morning memo to upper
management noted the company is “generating
less revenue for Q1 than we budgeted and less
than what actually ran last year. At the same
John Hogan
time, our budgeted expenses for Q1 are up 4%.
As responsible managers, we need to address
the shortfall not only by continuing to find ways to increase our
revenue but also by implementing cuts on the expense side until
revenue production improves.”
Hogan then itemized the ways in which the Q1 budgets
would be trimmed: “All research monies after 2/1. All
advertising and promotion monies after 2/1. All new sales hire
guarantees not already implemented effective immediately (do
NOT hire any additional sales people, effective immediately).
Any new hires budgeted but not hired, effective immediately
(do not hire any additional new employees). Any/all
discretionary monies (i.e. travel, meals and entertainment, etc.)
for your market. If you can save it, do so. Additionally, you are
not to replace any departing personnel without specific approval
from your EVPO.”

Garth’s LA Story
Issue 74
The two-day, five-show Garth Brooks concert run
benefiting the Southern California 2008 Fire Relief
Campaign opened at 9pm ET at the Staples Center in Los
Angeles, and America was watching.
According to ratings on Zap2it.com, the CBS telecast of
Garth Brooks: Live In LA propelled the network to a prime time
win, leading the time slot with a 5.1/8, edging FOX’s House
at 4.9/8. Among the sold-out crowd of 85,000 were several
prominent Country radio programmers, who offered their
perspective to Country Aircheck.
KWNR/Las Vegas PD Cary Rolfe went to the 6pm show
Friday. “I drove over from Vegas and saw several cars with
‘Garth or Bust’ painted in the windows,” he says. “When
I arrived at the Staples Center it was obvious there was
something going on that would not be considered the norm for
downtown LA – parking lots packed
with pickup trucks and people tailgating
with country music blaring.”
As for the show, Rolfe says it was
almost like Garth never left. “There was
electricity in the air as if everyone was
going to explode with excitement at any
moment. Then Garth hit the stage like
he was shot out of a cannon and it only
ratcheted the crowd up to a fever pitch.
At times the crowd was so loud you
couldn’t hear Garth singing over them.”

continued from page 1
Among many other things, Friday’s edict means that tons of
TV spots already in the can and earmarked for a winter or even
spring campaign probably aren’t going to see the light of day.
Almost all HD2 roll-outs are now on hold. As one CC PD said,
“If it’s not already paid for, it isn’t going to happen – no matter
what it is.”
In our world, that also means fewer Clear Channel faces at
this year’s CRS, set for March 5-7 here in Nashville. A major
market CC programmer told Country Aircheck that while a
couple of staffers are all set to make the trip, he had intended
to bring two or three other station folks with him. “That ain’t
going to happen now,” he said. “The only reason I get to come is
everything has been paid for already.”
And, while it’s hard to find any gray area in “if you can
save it, do so,” there are some questions in CC programmer’s
minds about CRS. One CC PD told CA, “I’m registered
for CRS and have booked my flight. But I’m not sure if the
company wants to save the airfare, hotel and incidentals that I
would be spending and just eat the registration fee.” That will
likely be answered very quickly.
Finally, CC PDs interviewed for this piece said they fully expect
the spending freeze to last far beyond March 31. All cited the
impending merger agreement with a private equity group co-led by
Bain Capital Partners and Thomas H. Lee partners as the reason.
Said one, “It’s hard to imagine venture capitalists spending $27
billion for Clear Channel to not look for more ways to cut costs.
And, as I understand it, we won’t be getting back the money in the
future that we aren’t spending this quarter.”
KKGO Knocked Off Air
The Country-positive momentum of Garth’s LA throwdown
was interrupted when inclement weather on Mount Wilson
knocked KKGO off the air for 24 hours beginning at 10:15am
Saturday (1/26). Ice damaged a station antenna, and snow caused
a roof failure that allowed water to
damage an auxiliary transmitter.
With roads to the mountain closed by
the storm and helicopters unable to
fly, KKGO wasn’t back on air until
Sunday. CBS Radio KROQ offered

“The fortunate thing was we did our live broadcast [from the
Staples Center] on Friday,” says KKGO Marketing Director
Michael Levine. “Obviously it’s disappointing to be down with
so many people listening on the way to Garth. And we were
going to do some live call-ins. But there’s never a good time to
be off the air.”

Country In The Rockies
The Nashville contingent to the 14th Annual Country In The
Rockies didn’t exactly come back
whole. As we reported Friday,
in one day over $100,000 had
been raised for the T.J. Martell
Foundation. Over the course
of the trip participants took to
the slopes and a few mishaps
occurred. Last Thursday, headliner
Eddie Montgomery’s wife
Tracy tore two ligaments and
the meniscus in one knee during
her first attempt at skiing. She is
expected to make a full recovery
after undergoing surgery.
Tracy Montgomery
Country Music Across America
host Storme Warren decided
to celebrate Saturday after raising $60,000 from a celebrity
bartending contest with Tom Gross and Gary Chapman. As he
started down the mountain he noticed his bindings were loose,
and explains, “I had to decide between crashing my head or
my shoulder. I think I chose wisely.” Warren has a bone chip
inducing dislocation in his shoulder and will head into surgery
on Friday. “This is just what I wanted to do to get into Country
Aircheck,” he says.

CRS-39 will host Music Industry Town Meeting Day March

Garth Continued
“Everywhere you looked there were cowboy
hats and a unique mix of people, Garth truly
draws from every walk of life. It was great to
see people you knew had just driven in from
the ranch (they were the ones with ‘stuff’ on
their boots) and the people with $200 jeans and
Versace bags standing side by
side singing every word.”
Cary Rolfe
Ray Massie, PD for KNIX/
Phoenix, says the show was a great reminder.
“I had forgotten just how incredible Garth is
in concert,” he admits. “It was just absolutely
astounding. I’ve never seen any artist be able to

control an entire crowd with
a move of his head...or a
look in his eye.” KMPS/Seattle did a major getaway
promotion around the shows, offering winners

draws you in with just a glance and a smile. From the moment he
hit the stage, we never sat down, and at the end we wanted more!
We were totally energized and didn’t even feel like we had been
standing for two hours-plus.
The energy reached another level when Brooks brought out
Trisha Yearwood. “It brought the house down,” Brenner says
before offering the couple some career advice. “The next great
phase should be the Garth and Trisha duets album with a world
tour to match.”
