Radio Branding: Sign Of The Slimes

On Jan. 10, the National Football League (NFL) elected to air a family-friendly, kid-focused broadcast of the wildcard playoff game between the New Orleans Saints and the Chicago Bears on Nickelodeon. According to SportsMedia. com, the airing averaged 2.06 million viewers and was the most-watched program on the channel in nearly four years. What, if anything could Country radio take away from this? The alternate coverage, which ran in conjunction with the main broadcast on CBS, featured young guest sideline reporters, Young Sheldon star Iain Armitage explaining the Steve Reynolds rules of the game, a pregame appearance by SpongeBob and on-field graphics and virtual filters that included slime cannons detonating after each touchdown. While the airing drew a fraction of the 28 million viewers earned by the CBS broadcast, the first-of-its-kind program served as a platform to expand the NFL viewership and fanbase. “The audience certainly wants to be around a brand they know and are comfortable with, Ryan Kershner but they also expect that brand will change over time; no brand stays relevant if it becomes static,” says consultant Steve Reynolds. Westwood One syndicated Nights With Elaina producer Ryan Kershner agrees: “I don’t think I realized Sunday afternoon games felt stale until tuning in to the Nickelodeon broadcast and seeing how energized the presentation felt.” Kershner also notes the benefit of drawing in a younger viewership – or in radio’s case, listenership. “While the NFL’s core demo tends to skew toward men 18-54, and Nickelodeon tops out in the early teens, the league saw the benefit in tailoring content and creating a new presentation to reach and teach the next generation of fans while remaining true to both brands. Getting caught up in narrowing your audience based on what the data tells you will inevitably lead to alienating an audience you may not have realized is already tuning in.” (continued on page 9)

Barrett Bids A Fond Farewell

When McKenzie River KKNU/Eugene, OR morning host and Country Radio Hall of Famer Bill Barrett decided to hang up his headphones after 23 years with the station and 44 in the market (CAT 1/7), he did so on his own terms. Barrett had been considering a slowdown for nearly a year and wrapped his run with longtime cohosts Tim Fox and Tracy Berry Jan. 13. The following morning, after “10 glorious hours of sleep,” Barrett told Country Aircheck about his final week on-air, what he’s most proud of and what he’s Bill Barrett looking forward to in this next chapter of life. Barrett spent an emotional final week on-air fielding calls from longtime listeners, reading tributes via social media and talking with friends and colleagues about his career journey. “That went on for three days,” bemuses Barrett.

“The last day, we had a wonderful call from [Country Aircheck’s] Lon [Helton]. We also had an opportunity as a team to reminisce on the career we’ve had together and the wonderful things we accomplished.” The last song Barrett played was from his favorite artist – George Strait’s “The Cowboy Rides Away” – as he said his final thank you. A 2018 inductee to the CRHoF, Barrett says that ultimate check mark on the career to-do list didn’t diminish his radio drive. “In fact, I think our coverage of last year’s McKenzie Valley Fire and our service to the community during that time is some of the finest work we’ve done in our careers,” remarks Barrett. “It’s been an honor to be a part of the community here in Eugene, and our work for the charitable organizations, companies and people here will forever be my proudest accomplishments.” He has also made many friends along the way and raised an ever-expanding family – including 12 children and multiple grandchildren. “We welcomed two new grandbabies recently, which is thrilling,” says Barrett. “My family is my pride and joy, and everything I’ve done has been for them.” Humbly, Barrett says nothing remains on his broadcast bucket list after having earned multiple industry awards. “And, I wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for our station owners and my teammates,” he asserts. “We have always been given the tools to be successful, the ability to be creative and reach deep within our community to help as much as we can, and the assurance that we have their complete support and trust.”

Barrett counts Fox as one of his closest friends and regards Berry as one of the greatest journalists and broadcasters he has known. “We have had wonderful chemistry, and I think that’s why we’ve been as successful as we have,” Barrett explains. And, while he had opportunities to pursue other paths within the industry, Barrett found Eugene to be the ideal place to do life. “How blessed I’ve been to have been paid the kind of salary that allowed me to stay here, make this place my home and raise a family here,” Barrett says. “I started getting serious about retirement a year or so ago; I realized I didn’t want to turn 70 on air,” says Barrett. “I have so many things I want to do – and getting up at 3:45am doesn’t play into those plans!” Barrett has Grin And Barrett: Bill Barrett personifies “The experienced some health issues in Cowboy Rides Away.” recent years, and had a cancerous kidney removed four years ago. The long road to recovery helped realign his priorities. Barrett notes, “My sister had me booked on a trip to France this May, but COVID has put a crimp in those plans, of course. I’m looking forward to traveling, both in the US and abroad.” His family is spread across the country, and Barrett also loves photography and traveling to see old barns and farms. “I want to have the freedom to go explore,” he says. In conjunction with those hobbies, Barrett serves on the board of the local history society and museum, and he looks to work with youth interested in a broadcast career, as well. Additionally, he plans to continue his voice work. “All in all, I couldn’t have asked for a better life in radio,” Barrett says. “But, this isn’t the end. It’s only the beginning of the next great chapter. I’m proud of the past but excited for the future.” Reach him here. –Monta Vaden

WI TH A look at how Warner/WAR’s Troy Cartwright is spending his Quaran-Time: This past year helped me remember all I’ve done to get where I am today and what I’m truly capable of. Before moving to Nashville and having the support of a label, management, publishing, etc., I was just some guy in Texas grinding it out on my own. Being at home helped me reconnect with that guy and re-center and focus on myself and what I want to say as an artist. Communicating with myself helps me communicate better with my team, my audience and my fans. Being off the road can really make the weeks run together, and each day can feel similar. I’m a big breakfast guy, so I’ll wake up, make breakfast with black coffee and read the news for a bit. Then I’ll write a song and work on emails or content until I get motivated enough to make myself exercise. I appreciate the extra time to myself but also really miss playing shows — there is nothing else like it. My wife got me an upright piano around the holidays, and I have really been enjoying it. I’ve written songs on guitar my whole life, so it’s been fun exploring that

with a new creative outlet. I’ve had to retool a lot of what I do to be geared toward social media and had to erase some excuses for why I didn’t need to post or why social media didn’t apply to what I do. In terms of engaging with fans, though, there is still nothing that beats playing live. Social media has helped keep the fire lit. I went through my first radio tour at the end of 2020 but mostly virtually. Ain’t nothing like the real thing, but we’re getting by for now and excited about the future. All the popular Netflix stuff this year, I’ve definitely watched and enjoyed. I also love to read and have had a lot more time for that in 2020. I spent some time going back through the classics like Steinbeck and Fitzgerald but have also discovered a new love of detective novels (in the style of Raymond Chandler). Anything that gets me out of my head is great right now. My go-to quarantine snack is pretzel sticks. I could eat a pound of ‘em. I’ve been able to deepen many of the relationships I have, especially with my friends from back home and college. I never thought I’d bring back the long phone chat, but I’ve been talking a lot more

And kudos to Stacy Blythe and the Big Loud crew on racking up 38 adds for Hardy’s “Give Heaven Some Hell.” This is his first time to lead the add board as an artist.

... TR OY CA RT W RI GH T

Queens of the Bone Age with my family. That’s been a blessing. The year 2020 will be a time in our lives that we’ll always remember — the good and the bad — but it’s got me hopeful for the future.

Radio Branding: Sign Of The Slimes (continued from page 1)

Kids ... Incorporated: Forever WOGI/Pittsburgh APD/ MD/afternoon personality Jeremy “Danger Frog” Mulder was among those watching with his kids. “The format is guilty of saying, ‘Older people still love radio, so let’s go after them,’” he says. “That’s fine for now, but you are simply giving younger generations over to new technology. This is the moment radio should be coming up with ways as an industry to attract a younger audience, and Jeremy “Danger Frog” Mulder this Nickelodeon NFL game is an example of a really simple way to do it.” Buck Owens KUZZ/Bakersfield PD Brent Michaels concurs, noting, “Listeners routinely remind me they have kids in the car listening, and that is part of the reason they choose us. We have a target listener we gear our programming toward, but we need to remember they can help us reach the next generation of listeners, and we need Brent Michaels

to make our personalities and brand accessible and attractive to a younger audience.” Michaels points to incorporating new sounds in the format and embracing emerging apps and social platforms, including TikTok, as a means of understanding and connecting with the next generation of audio users. iHeartMedia WNOE/New Orleans PD/afternoon host Casey Carter looked to the broadcast as an example of cross promoting. “A lot of radio stations run cross-branding promos to promote sister stations, but Nickelodeon just raised that bar!” Nickelodeon has been owned by Viacom (now ViacomCBS) since 1987, and previous cross-promotion efforts have Casey Carter included a six-year run of a Saturday morning children’s programming block entitled Nick On CBS. Absorb It Like A Sponge(Bob): What are the lessons for Country radio, specifically? “Simple: evolve, be different and innovate,” says Reynolds. “There is so much noise competing for consumer attention. Being noticeably different and genuinely fresh in your approach always reinvigorates fans. As Ries and Trout taught us in The 22 Immutable Laws Of Marketing, a product’s greatest strength becomes its greatest weakness: dependable becomes predicable; expected becomes boring. What did Nickelodeon have to lose? They were probably just going to do re-runs of SpongeBob anyway, so why not try something that people might talk about?” Kershner points to using a different take in the production style for Nights With Elaina, saying, “We are playing country music and interviewing country artists, but we are cultivating content and creating a brand that skews younger with a pop-leaning sound. That allows us to court the younger end of the audience who may just be discovering the genre. The ability to refresh your image without straying from the core of your brand is key to attracting and retaining new fans.” Regarding the broadcast overall and its relevance to radio, Reynolds shares his key takeaways: • Know your brand! Nickelodeon is about kids, and this was geared to the next generation of football fans. It was colorful and fun, stayed true to what the channel does and was different enough to stand out and be memorable to those used to the standard broadcast. • Own something. Nickelodeon owns “slime.” It was almost central to the broadcast. Renaming the end zone the “slime zone” and shooting off virtual slime with every touchdown put their

Page 10

owned brand front and center. • Be true to yourself. The crew was young, having fun and, in turn, viewers had fun, too. The network turned play-by-play over to someone on the broadcast who knew little, if anything, about football. Her authenticity in admitting that and trying to figure out what to say made it even more enjoyable. “Country radio is one of the best formats for attracting a wide audience of both young and old listeners because of our format stars and family roots,” asserts Mulder. “We need something that’s exclusive to radio to draw kids in while in their parents’ car or using the radio station app on their phone. We have to be an entertainment source on their radar. Most of the parents grew up on radio, so we can use them to bring the next generation to radio if we do it right.” Now, who will be the first to offer Calliou an opportunity to speak his peace on-air following his show being cancelled? Reach Reynolds here, Kershner here, Mulder here, Michaels here and Carter here. –Monta Vaden
