Inside The ACMs With RAC Clark

The 57th ACM Awards (3/7) moved the franchise from broadcast to streaming on Amazon Prime Video in a twohour commercial-free format and were held in the secondlargest building in which an awards show has ever been attempted – Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Where the prior stadium play (2015 in Dallas) took years to plan, the 2022 version was put together in five months. Exec. Producer RAC Clark explains: CA: Can you thumbnail some of these challenges? RC: I hate using the word RAC Clark “unprecedented,” because it’s been used a lot, but that’s what it is. What had to be accomplished in the time allotted meant everybody had to be at the top of their game. And they were. There were bumps, but we figured out solutions and made it work. You were fully engaged with COVID protocols. How did that affect the production? We’re still under the back-to-work mandate from the television unions and guilds. As we got closer to the event, those protocols never lifted, even though mask mandates were being lifted for the general population. Some people didn’t understand we couldn’t do that. We got caught in that intersection. The set, lighting, pyro, glitter drop and the rest looked like quite an investment. Was it? Hell, yes! Right before we went into Allegiant, Metallica and Billy Joel had concerts, and we were fortunate to share their basic staging for our south stage. As soon as Billy Joel finished, we loaded in our set 24/7 for four days, which we’ve never had to do before. A lot of our expense was in crew costs trying to get it ready. Our other exec. producer, Raj Kapoor, along with the lighting and design team, approached this as a concert event rather than a traditional awards show. Our director, Glenn Weiss, had the idea of putting the acceptances off the stage to immerse us in the stadium. Those were key visual elements we tried to capture as opposed to making it a two-stage proscenium show. (continued on page 11)

Gold-Plated Wolf

When then-Susquehanna KPLX/Dallas adopted “The Wolf” brand on July 24, 1998, it featured an aggressive stance on music that didn’t fit neatly into the Country construct. “We are playing a bunch of records to Texans made by Texans,” then-PD (and now Cumulus EVP/Content & Audience) Brian Phillips explained in a November 2000 interview with Radio & Records. “It’s a special brand of country here, and it works for this market.” In the two decades since, The Wolf has undergone several musical shifts (even experimenting with classic Mike Preston rock titles in 2007 [CAW 6/25/07]), but last week’s move away from currents is its biggest yet. Former competitor and, since 2011, sister KSCS was once the older-leaning of the two stations, but it re-branded in July 2019 as “New Country 96.3” (CAT 7/26/19) and has led the 25-54 race between the two in 32 of the 34 books since.

spoke with combo PD Mike Preston for his take on The Wolf’s new focus. CA: Why this move, and why now? MP: Everyone knows how things have gone for the format in the recent past, and we decided there was a good opportunity with this specific station – its heritage [and] what we knew and what the audience was looking for; we thought this was the moment to give it a try. This allows us to expand our reach across the whole country music universe with what Brian Phillips likes to call “the two biggest engines in Country radio.” KSCS is totally focused on new country, and it allows The Wolf to open up with a separate mix, custom done for Dallas. This adds power to what we’re doing on KSCS, because we’ve got the lane for that on one side, and then you’ve got the other audience that wants the deeper library, and we can serve that on The Wolf side. Does this mean any changes for KSCS as well? KSCS has been on track, and we have extensive research going on all the time in the new country space. There’s always been somewhat of a line [for] where KSCS is and where the Wolf is; this just allows us to refine it. Luke Combs is still getting played, so how recent will KPLX go? Luke Combs is a great example, because he’s established himself. He’s become a giant star, and we’re three to four years past his first songs. We’re not playing his current currents, but “When It Rains It Pours” is absolutely in there. It’s a little bit by sound and a little bit by artist on that stuff. Some things just feel like they fit, and some things are like, “No, that’s KSCS.” How far back will you reach for gold? There are a few “On The Road Again” and “Drivin’ My Life Away” type songs, but that stuff will all be spice. It’s mostly 2000s

OFF THE RECORD Country Aircheck goes Off The Record with Warner/CoJo/WMN’s Cody Johnson: My 2021 highlights were my documentary, Dear Rodeo; accomplishing a double album, Human; and recording my first Christmas album, A Cody Johnson Christmas. That was a big deal — and a really tough year — because we hit the ground running hard after 2020 not CODY JOHNSON getting to play any dates. So, 2021 was a bittersweet year, but it was good work. The first time I heard myself on the radio … I was a kid. I was 18 years old, and it was on [KYKS/Lufkin, TX]. I thought the sky had collapsed I was so excited. A description of my new album, Human, would be a little bit of self-reflection. The album title speaks for itself. We’re all still learning to be human — no matter what race, no matter what you feel about politics, no matter where you come from in this country or in this world. We all still learn to be human. The point is to embrace the process of being human. Much like my song “Dear Rodeo,” embrace the process. “’Til You Can’t” offers a very good, positive message about learning to be human. Take a chance when you have a chance to take. Tell somebody you love ‘em. Forgive somebody. That’s the overall message for the album. I wish I’d written Robert Earl Keen’s “Feelin’ Good Again,” because it paints a perfect picture. I’m currently binge-watching Frontier on Netflix. I had neck surgery in December, so I literally watched everything you can possibly watch, and now I’m picking out stuff I’ve never seen before. What you can expect from me in 2022 is total dominance … nah, I’m just kidding. What you can expect are strategic shows. We’re growing out of hockey arenas, and the goal is to move into stadiums. We’re getting a taste of those plays with Luke Combs on his tour, so you can expect a lot of momentum in 2022, because 2023 is comin’.

and some ‘90s. Each day we do a log it gets more dialed in. My personal experience with country only dates back to 2009, so there are lots of songs I’ve seen the names of I’m now getting acquainted with. That’s exciting. Are there any other changes beyond the music? Our team is the same, and we’re not rebranding. It’s still “Texas Country.” We think The Wolf brand means something, and this mix fits well. I got off the phone with a guy who was going crazy saying, “I love what you’re doing.” So, we’re getting really good reaction already. Reach Preston here. –Chris Huff

Kudos to Bobby Young and the Capitol crew notching 79 adds for Carrie Underwood’s “Ghost Story.” The first release from her forthcoming project leaps on to the chart at No. 31, matching her second highest entry ever – both “If I Didn’t Love You” with Jason Aldean and 2015’s “Smoke Break” also entered at No. 31. Only “So Small” and “Something In The Water” entered higher, both at No. 25.

Inside The ACMs With RAC Clark

(continued from page 1) How do you do no commercials? With four stages – one for award presentations and three to rotate performances. We needed turnaround times for each stage, and part of that was putting two awards back-to-back, which also saved six or seven minutes. Rather than introducing another presenter, the second award in each block was one more line and we’re into it. You still have less time in a two-hour commercialfree show than you do in a three-hour show with commercials, right? If you extract [broadcast’s typical] 45 minutes of commercials, you get 2:15. But in addition to losing commercials, you lose the “coming up” bumpers and teases back in, which gets back seven minutes. We had 22 performances to last year’s 25 on CBS, but a couple of this year’s were medleys. If everybody did a 3:30 song, we would have had 26 or 27, but we couldn’t have made the stage turnarounds. So, you saw a lot of five-minute-plus medleys. We’ve seen comments that the sound was better at home and in the stadium. Was anything different? We weren’t going out of the house to network control at CBS/ New York, putting it on a satellite, taking it down, then compressing through a cable system or other provider. That pipeline really messes up sound. Jeff Peterson worked hard at designing our house sound system. He found that fine edge along with our audio producer, Chip Matthews, who worked with the team getting it out to stream. Issues I heard about the image being blurry or chunky and buffering were not Amazon’s fault. People still have that broadcast television mindset and think it was coming out of Vegas poorly. It wasn’t; that’s the user’s internet service provider or the end device. The building clearly wasn’t full. What challenges did that present? Part of it was a lot of people were there, but they weren’t in their seats. – very frustrating at the top of the show. More than 20,0000 people had scanned their tickets, but there weren’t 20,000 people in their seats at 5pm. Hosts typically get performances, but having Jimmie Allen and Gabby Barrett doing a new song and a cover, respectively, was unusual, right? When we first booked it, they were going to get the top of the show medley and not do individual performances. We taped a couple of performances with them in case we had dropouts for COVID or any other reason. They got the jump ball, and their individual performances got to be included. Which performances stand out when you look back at the production approach? We wanted something different for hits that had been performed on other shows, so we went for Carly Pearce and intimacy with Carly Pearce Ashley McBryde and Ashley McBryde, and

Page 11

we went for stadium rock bombast with Jason Aldean and Carrie Underwood. John Osborne and John Peets hand-painted Brothers Osborne’s coveralls and came up with that intense look with our lighting director Travis. Jason Aldean and When I listened to Chris Carrie Underwood Stapleton’s album, I knew “Watch You Burn” was the song we had to do. He and Morgane came in wanting to perform that as well, so we were right in sync. We put together a choir with BMI’s Shannon Sanders, who is an ACM board member, and elevated an already emotional moment by having Jason [Aldean] introduce it. What kind of feedback or numbers are you getting from Amazon? As of today, nothing. That’s the nature of the beast, unlike viewership on broadcast. It will take a while to assimilate the data, but it’s not just viewers, it’s engagement. How many people came to Prime for the first time? What happened with artists’ streams and merch sales? All of those things are going to be weighed over the next few weeks. Can anything be done about premium seats only allowing views of a few performances? We designed it as a television experience. Once we got into the building and saw where stages were, we realized that there were some issues for the people in the house. Ticket pricing and placement of stages should be re-examined moving forward, because we want to make the best possible customer experience in the venue. Our goal was to put on the best show for our new streaming partner, but there is a balance to be struck. Would you be inclined to do Allegiant again? If I had a year to plan, I’d go back. They were great partners and very accommodating. I’d like to keep the streak going as the only awards show in a stadium. We saw a new approach for acknowledging radio. What has the feedback been? We talked to Amazon about how important our radio partnerships are, especially in getting the word out. After the show, someone suggested, “Why not do a ticker tape underneath?” I like that idea, and may bring that to the table next year so you actually see the names of the winners. We can always improve upon it, but acknowledging the importance of radio is vital from an ACM standpoint. Final thoughts? In addition to the production and Amazon teams, who were tireless in pulling this off in five months, what the ACM staff brings to the equation is exceptional. They are a small but mighty team and are to be commended for an almost unbelievable effort. –Chuck Aly
