Research Last Call: Come Together
One of the primary takeaways from the CRS 2022 Research Presentation is Country radio does better when it is more than a music utility. NuVoodoo Owner/Pres. Carolyn Gilbert and EVP/Research Leigh Jacobs expanded on that thought and others during last week’s CRS360 online presentation, and Country Aircheck followed up in a final look back at an unexpected takeaway: the need for unity. In these politically charged times, Gilbert and Jacobs set out to assess hypothetical Carolyn Gilbert station positions that could increase listening without driving wedges. They set the table with analysis of country listeners’ political ideologies, finding 38% describe themselves as moderate, 33% as conservative and 23% as liberal. Conservative numbers were greater in the South and West, and among the older Boomer (58-64) and Gen X (4257) age groups. Study subjects then rated Leigh Jacobs 11 potential station positions, out of which four seemed to cut across ideological and generational divides. Port Of Calls: Labeled “safe havens” by NuVoodoo, each had 35% of respondents saying the position would increase their listening: supporting equality for all Americans, playing music that promotes unity, playing Becky Brenner the national anthem on a regular basis and promoting a fundraiser for a local church. The anthem position has, perhaps, a surprising base. “Younger people love the idea more than older people, because frankly for them it’s novel,” Jacobs explains. “If you’re of a certain age, you remember when stations played the anthem with some routine, but if you’re under 40, maybe not.” (continued on page 9)

Jump Ball: SA Radio Reacts When EMI Nashville’s Eric Church cancelled his San Antonio tour stop last week, he was honest with ticketholders in sharing his reasoning, recounting via a Ticketmaster email that he and his family would be attending the April 2 NCAA Final Four matchup between his North Carolina Tar Heels and the Duke Blue Devils. With the show less than a week away, iHeartMedia KAJA/San Antonio PD Alek Halverson and Cox KCYY/San Antonio PD Christi Brooks each sprang to action to assist listeners with navigating the situation. “People were very, very upset; we had phone, emails and [social media] comments like crazy!” Halverson tells Country

Where We Charted: Valory’s Thomas Rhett celebrates the release of Where We Started with Amazon Music. Pictured (l-r) are G Major’s Harry Lyons and Samantha Thornton, the label’s Ashley Sidoti, Allison Jones, Sandi Spika Borchetta and Scott Borchetta, Rhett, the label’s George Briner, Amazon Music’s Michelle Tigard Kammerer and Emily Cohen, the label’s Dave Kelly and G Major’s Virginia Bunetta.

Aircheck. “People had flown into town for the show, had hotel rooms they couldn’t cancel, and refunds only went to the original point of purchase, so if they had bought tickets second hand, they may not get a refund at all.” Brooks saw similar scenarios with her listeners. “You can look at the Facebook comments and see how San Antonio felt,” she says. “We have really just let listeners vent.” Brooks and her team took to Facebook Live to discuss the cancellation and the recently rescheduled show. Halverson opened the station’s phone lines, and Country Radio Hall of Famer and KAJA afternoon personality Randy Carroll devoted his entire March 29 show to fielding calls from ticketholders. Halverson also launched a “Save Your Saturday” promotion, taking calls and pulling winners from social media to offer tickets to other events happening in and around San Antonio that night, including a Jason Aldean and Darius Rucker headlined PGA event
and a Josh Abbott Band show. Brooks gave away free Fiesta Party Packs, which included tickets to Oyster Bake and NIOSA. “It’s Fiesta time in San Antonio, and [that is] all anyone is talking about right now,” she says. In addition to the station promotions, Bud Light took to Twitter to offer up free beer at bars along the San Antonio River Walk. Friday (4/1), Church announced a “one-of-a-kind, free show” at Whitewater Amphitheater in New Braunfels, TX slated for Sept. 2. “Thank you, San Antonio, for letting me take my family to this game,” reads the statement shared via Facebook. “It took a minute to figure out how and when I could properly express my thanks ... Details to be announced soon.” “As far as contest winners, we have not heard from the promoter on whether or not those tickets [given away by the stations] will be honored for the make-up show,” says Brooks. Adds Halverson, “Church says

OFF THE RECORD An Off The Record conversation with Restless Road’s Colton Pack, Garrett Nichols and Zach Beeken: GN: We were fortunate to have a lot of really cool things happen for us in 2021. We got to tour with our buddy Kane Brown and play every NBA arena in the country, which was an unreal experience. We were also lucky enough to get invited to RESTLESS ROAD make our Grand Ole Opry debut, which was a lifelong dream for all three of us, and we have played there three times since. Hearing our song on the radio — first time was on The Bobby Bones Show — was truly a dream come true. It was such an unreal experience, and we are beyond thankful for everyone who has listened to “Growing Old With You.” You all made that moment possible for us. CP: “Growing Old With You” is a song that, no matter what stage of a relationship you’re in, everybody can relate to, because everybody wants to find that special person to grow old with. We’re so excited for this to be our first song to Country radio! ZB: One of my favorite songs right now is “‘Til You Can’t” by Cody Johnson. I love the message behind it, and the way Cody delivers his vocals, you can feel the passion and intention behind every word. The message not only resonates with me, but also with anybody out there who wants to live their life to the fullest. CP: I wish I’d written Randy Travis’ “Three Wooden Crosses.” It’s such an incredibly well-written song with a lot of meaning behind the story and very interesting twist at the end. Randy has one of the most iconic voices in country music, and it just sets this song over the top. GN: I’m currently watching The Ranch on Netflix. I love TV shows that are based around comedy, and this is a hilarious show that has a country setting. ZB: We’re about to head out on our first headline tour, the Bar Friends Tour, starting April 6. You can also expect a lot of new music and some fun collaborations on social media.

anyone with a ticket will be able to go to [the New Braunfels show] for free, but the capacity at that venue is just under 6,000, whereas the capacity of the venue he was supposed to play [in San Antonio] is around 20,000. I’m not sure how that’s going to work logistically, but hopefully he can add another night.” Reach Halverson here and Brooks here. –Monta Vaden
Masked Zingers: Q&A With ShittyPD
Since its first post in April 2020, the @ShittyPD Instagram account has used memes, photos and text to communicate frustrations shared by some, if not many, working in radio. The anonymous poster has amassed more than 2,500 followers – largely people within the music industry – with posts that range from poking fun at morning show bits to calling out job postings to giving due recognition. While he ... or she ... has yet to tip their hand about their identity, they did agree to go on the record via Instagram direct messaging with Country Aircheck to discuss what they think radio is getting wrong ... and (occasionally) right. CA: Do you currently work in radio? And how long have you been in the industry? SPD: Yes. And a while. ;-) Is the account run by you alone or are there contributors? I know there are plenty of assumptions, but it’s just me. Are you connected to ShittyRadioJock? We message back and forth, but s/he doesn’t know my identity nor vice versa. No, we are not the same person. What would have to happen in order for you to reveal yourself? I’ll leave a note in my will for [Country Aircheck Sr. Radio Editor Monta Vaden]. Are there plans for the account to be passed down to future ShittyPDs? Nah. Why did you start the account? There were plenty of things that needed to be said publicly without penalty or fear of ostracizing. Was there a moment you actually said to yourself “Wow, what a shitty PD?” I’ve said that so many times. Sometimes it’s at myself, [but] many times at a boss of mine or competition. Where do you draw inspiration/material for posts? Do you receive ideas from followers?

industry need to put up more of a fight. For benefits, for working conditions, for quality of work/life balance. Do you consider/worry about walking the line between ribbing and bullying? I’ll be honest … I’ve felt strongly about posting something then regretted it immediately. I’ve deleted posts and issued apologies. I am, at times, a “ShittyPD.” We know who you think is getting it wrong, but are there any stations/personalities/etc. you think are getting it right? Believe it or not, I do think there are very well run iHeart and Audacy stations. Find well-staffed stations, and you’ll find success. If you want quality instead of quantity, find smaller ownership groups like Bonneville, Cox and Hubbard, and you’ll see better staffing and better ratings. We know from your posts that you recently attended CRS 2022. Any thoughts or comments about the seminar? CRS made some very smart moves this year [like] expanding panels and bringing in top pros that don’t necessarily live in Country radio but have success in social and digital fields who had great info that fits in the Country world. One thing you guys are missing is the absurd amount of corporate ass-kissing those other conventions have. (Ed. Note: SPD used their best sarcasm font for that last line.) Are there any plans for a ShittyPD merch line (á la Deux Moi)? That’d be fun, but I’ll leave the merch up to the talent who do a great job marketing their brands. What’s your dream on-air lineup? How about a 24/7 lineup that is paid well, not syndicated and not held back by corporate mandates? What challenges do people working in radio today face that you hope to address? How would you fix them if given free reign and/or a magic wand? Radio is facing the challenge of its life. Externally, we face cume and TSL issues stemming from other audio options and fewer people commuting to work. Internally, the issues are an even bigger danger to the medium. Major radio companies are shrinking the workforce and allocating fewer resources on their talent and the on-air product. In a perfect world, the FCC would set regulations for station staffing and reduce the number of stations companies can own in a market. The difference and the advantage radio continues to have is its live and local personalities. Nothing can bring an audience in like talented, in-touch personalities who know their audience. Ed. Note: We still don’t know who SPD is. Do you? Send your theories to Caitlin DeForest and Monta Vaden here and here, respectively. –Caitlin DeForest, Monta Vaden
Chart Chat
Congratulations to Sam Hunt, Katie Dean, Royce Risser, Chris Schuler, David Friedman and the MCA promotion team on landing Hunt’s ninth No. 1 with “23.” The song is only the second strictly numerically titled song to top the chart (Dierks Bentley’s Sam Hunt “5-1-5-0” is the other), and with only two characters is the shortest titled No. 1 in the history of CA and its antecedent airplay charts dating back to 1973. Songwriters are Shane McAnally, Charis LaCorte, Josh Osborne and Hunt. Jackson Dean’s “Don’t Come Lookin’” enters this week’s chart at No. 39, landing the highest entry for an artist’s debut

Gilbert adds, “Everybody loves ‘The Star-Spangled Banner.’ We’re Americans, be American!” “Three of the top four ‘safe havens’ do not surprise me at all,” says Albright & O’Malley & Brenner Consulting Partner Becky Brenner, who attended the CRS360 presentation. “During my programming days at KMPS/Seattle, our core pillars of God, family and Country (both music and patriotism) served us well. We did the national anthem at noon. Supporting unity and inclusion has always been important.” “It was a bit surprising to see the strength of approval for ‘fundraising for a local church,’” admits Brenner. “In recent years, I hear programmers being reticent about anything too religious. Clearly that is not something we have to shy away from. It is possible that the pandemic brought a renewed need for faith.” Jacobs admits to the “clearly charged” nature of the fundraising position. “But it had so little downside, people saw past that,” says Gilbert. “Imagine a fundraiser for a school or hospital.” “Look at how well St. Jude’s done,” Gilbert adds. “Wherever you’re from, whatever you do, you want safety, shelter; you want a way to feel productive and make a living and you want love. These are basic human needs. People want the same things.” Together To Gather: Gilbert and Jacobs further underscore the overall theme of “unity” in their findings. “[NuVoodoo VP/ Research] Jeri Fields lives right outside Bowling Green, KY,” says Gilbert. “Her community was hit by tornados. People came out to help and didn’t care who you voted for. It was a community that endured something together and came together because of it. Radio has that power to bring together, and [country’s] culture makes it so much easier.” “In the movie Seabiscuit, there’s a moment with the line about how he’s forgotten how to be a horse,” says Jacobs. “We’ve forgotten how to connect with the community and entertain. Social media and the news media have told us we should be upset, but we’re just creatures who are trying to get through this thing. In this moment just showing up after we’ve been isolating for two years, that’s the best thing you could possibly do.” Bringing listeners together by drawing community connections is something other audio sources will find hard to compete with, though there are challenges for radio. “There are a million people out there doing entertaining podcasts,” contends Gilbert. “There are people who can write and who are witty. We’ve not nurtured the bench, but there are people out there producing audio that’s outstanding. There are creative ideas, whether it’s intern or listener input, there are a million things you can do if you have a minute to breathe and create that community. The fact is radio is local, you’re not talking to a microphone, you’re talking to human beings. The greatest radio stations knew that from the very first moment; that’s what made radio great.” See NuVoodoo’s full CRS360 presentation here.
