Shawn Parr’s Gone Country
When Shawn Parr became a radio free agent (Breaking News 12/16), he began contemplating a future that didn’t involve being tied down. His just-announced partnership with Key Networks for Shawn Parr’s Across The Country breaks down more than just location boundaries, however ... as he and Key CRO Dennis Green explain. The central idea was percolating even during Parr’s time with Nash Nights Live. “I was visiting a lot of radio stations,” he says. “A PD would call and ask if I could come out and co-host a concert. While I was there, they’d ask if I’d show up at the Chevy dealer. They’d say, Shawn Parr ‘We want to use you as if you’re really our guy.’ And I’d say, ‘I really am your guy!’ The thought of visiting stations like that was in my back pocket for a while. When I didn’t get re-signed with Cumulus, I pitched it to Dennis. We worked together with his amazing team at Key Networks, made some adjustments and now I can’t sleep I’m so excited.” Beyond visiting markets where the show is aired, Across The Country will move about in other ways. “We’ve got NASCAR coming back soon, hopefully, and they want me to visit several tracks,” Parr says. “We can do the show from Dallas and the Texas Motor Speedway. We can do it from Stagecoach Dennis Greens in California and the ACM Awards in Las Vegas. We’ll feed what’s going on back to our producers in Nashville then give our stations access to those events.

Ryan Wild’s COVID-19 Battle Emmis WLHK/Indianapolis PD/midday personality Ryan Wild and his wife, Sandy, woke up March 24 with relentless coughs, high fevers, full-body aches, pounding headaches, fatigue and extreme shortness of breath. Almost a month later, they’re still fighting their way back from a battle with COVID-19, as Wild tells Country Aircheck. On that Tuesday morning, he and his wife were experiencing

WI TH A day in the self-isolated life of Warner/WEA’s Michael Ray: I’m waking up … later than normal (haha). I immediately go for a run then eat breakfast and workout. I’ve never been a runner but have found that it eases some anxiety during this uncertain time. Now I have the time to take an hour each morning just to clear my head a little. I have been with my wife, Carly. This is the most time we’ve ever had together in one spot. I feel like — in some ways — we are relearning a lot about each other. We have been playing games at night and going for walks around the neighborhood together. I made her watch WWE for the first time; I think that might have driven her a little crazy, though! Quarantining has enhanced my creativity, if I’m being honest. I’m very much an extrovert, so being forced to be home has made me focus my mind versus going crazy into hundreds of other creative things. I’ve settled in and found ways to write songs virtually and work on new music without access to a studio. I’m also thinking
of different ways to physically work out at the house with very little access to weights, so channeling that nervous and anxietybased energy into productive and creative ways to keep my nonstop mind at ease has been a priority, as well. The ability to go live has helped me become closer to my fans, kept us communicating and gotten us more involved in each other’s lives. I’m very thankful we live in a time when we have the ability to go live and play music via technology or just talk with fans to bring a smile to each other’s faces. I’m currently bingeing Tiger King, like the rest of the world. Of course this is a heartbreaking time that none of us would wish for the world; however, I feel like it has taught me a lot about what matters, and I have had the time to have really good calls home to my family and friends without having to rush off the phone because I have something else going on. It may have forced me to stay put — which I’m not good at — but
such severe symptoms, they thought it was best to head to the emergency room. Sandy is a Type 1 diabetic with an autoimmune disease and asthma. “She nearly passed out walking down the stairs,” Ryan says. “After speaking with the COVID hotline and alerting the emergency room that we were on our way, we blew some stoplights to get to the hospital.” Sandy was admitted with low oxygen levels, high white blood cell counts and fluid on her lungs, but Ryan’s condition stabilized, and he was considered healthy enough to return

And I think when we do gather again together for music, church, sports and beyond, there will be an overwhelming feeling of gratitude. I think that’s the biggest silver lining of all — that newfound appreciation.
home and self-quarantine. Neighbors came to the rescue to assist with childcare for the couple’s son and daughter. “The doctor explained to us that not only are the number of COVID tests limited, but they are also wildly inaccurate,” says Wild. “Nearly 30% come back as a false negative, he told us, so once Sandy tested negative despite the symptoms, they decided not to test me and just call it like they saw it.” After several days in isolation at the hospital, Sandy’s oxygen levels improved, and she was sent home. “Not because she was

well,” notes Wild. “Sandy was still very sick, but they basically told her they needed her bed and sent her home.” The couple continued recovering together in their home, self-quarantining. “This isn’t the flu,” notes Wild. “It’s maybe flu-like, if the flu took steroids and kicked the crap out of you. COVID is not a joke, and we still don’t know what the long-term effects will be on our lungs.” Wild says both he and Sandy experienced spiking fevers and coughs that caused muscle strain and additional pain. By April 8, the Wilds were feeling as if they were on the mend. “I decided to go for a short walk, but after getting about 600 yards from my house, I turned around,” recalls Wild. “The walk back felt like miles. I was exhausted and had trouble breathing.” A couple days later, symptoms returned, including high fevers and painful cough. “I went in for a couple chest x-rays and was diagnosed with pneumonia,” says Wild. “They don’t know if it is in addition to COVID or as a result of it.” Wild has also cracked or broken multiple ribs as a result of his cough and is on medication for those side effects. Interestingly, neither of the children has shown symptoms, despite being in the home with their parents before, during and after the illness took hold. “As a follow-up, we both went to a drive-through testing facility this week, and they took a small swab of the inside rim of Sandy’s nose ... that’s it,” says Wild. “We still don’t know enough about this virus, and we clearly haven’t perfected testing, diagnosing or treating this thing. Until we do, I don’t see how we can go back to business as usual.” In the meantime and as most of the industry has done, Wild is voicetracking from a closet in his guest room. “It’s convenient because when I run out of breath, I can just step out and lay down on the guest bed for a few minutes,” he says. “Sadly, that is still happening quite frequently.” He praises the doctors and nurses who have treated he and Sandy throughout the process and also notes the importance of staying hydrated and taking vitamins as needed. “Hot tea, honey and Liquid IV supplements have gotten us through,” says Wild. “Oh, and this Big Machine hand sanitizer has come in handy, too!” Ryan and Sandy continue to recover and have hopes of ending the virus’ cycle sooner rather than later. “Hugs and handshakes for everyone once this is all over,” says Wild. “But until then, please stay home. Please stay safe and stay well, because this is sincerely a miserable illness, and I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. You can be asymptomatic and spread this unknowingly, and I promise you don’t want to do that. Let’s all do our part to kick this thing to the curb.” At print time, Wild continues to fight off pneumonia and deal with rib pain while

Nights Live affiliates in Alaska before.” Locations are one thing, but time shifting is another. Launching June 1, the show runs four hours and can be used in any daypart, 6ammidnight. “When I went to CRS and to Country Cares in Memphis, people were asking me about whether I would be doing a show for mornings, middays, afternoons or nights again,” Parr says. “Even though my last show was at night, one station had us on in afternoon drive. That’s what’s so great about this. I will customize each show exactly the way the station wants it.” Green says that flexibility was important in uncertain times for radio. “If someone wants a major market talent on the air at noon, they can run it there,” he says. “The technology allows for that. Timely content, great music and interviews can serve stations in a number of different dayparts.” Key Networks counts Country Radio Hall of Famer Tim Closson as a team member, and the approach is about focus. “We’ve got the best people, and we want to have the best talent,” Green says. “Not to take shots at others, but it’s a boutique syndication company that isn’t going to sign tons of talent. We want to do a few things and do them really well. We’ve now got our guy in Country, which is a format I’m delighted to be back in having worked in it for so many years at Westwood One.”

A day in the self-isolated life of Warner Music Nashville’s Kristen Williams: Before this started, I was spending an hour commuting to Nashville, so one of the things I’m thankful for is getting back into a workout routine. That’s the first thing I do in the morning after taking our puppy for a walk. If I’m lucky, I get another 30 minutes or an hour of alone time before my kids – ages 12 and 10 – get up. I’m sitting at my desk by 9:30am at the latest after getting the kids set up at their stations with their school work. My first thing is a 15-minute video call with Tom Martens to catch up and set the tone for the day. From there, it’s generally video conference after video conference. They’ve become an effective way of working, but the biggest challenge is it’s easy to look up and realize it’s 2pm and you haven’t escaped the office. Eli popped his head in yesterday and said, “Are you ever going to feed me lunch?” We’ve been really fortunate that the concrete construction company my husband owns is considered essential, so he’s working full time. Still, being a home-schooling parent is more difficult than I ever imagined. We’re at the end of week-five working from home, and I had all these ideas about house projects I could get done, books I’d finally finish and series I could finally binge. Yeah, that’s not happening. Every day revolves around keeping the train on the tracks at radio, keeping our three teams moving in the right direction and helping them individually as they all deal with their challenges. And, of course, keeping the kids up to speed. I’m fortunate mine are the ages they are – some people are having to do calls while bouncing a baby on their knee. Seeing into people’s lives in that way has been humanizing, humbling and uniting. I’ve been focusing on getting up and out of the office at lunch, detaching from the screen, checking on the kids and going outside for a brief walk. Then I retreat back to the office. When I finally turn the computer off, I turn the focus back on the kids and
Further Country format offerings could include a countdown. “It’s down the road,” Green says. “I know Shawn would like to start tomorrow, and we’re not opposed to anything, but we want to crawl before we run. When we sat down with Tim at CRS, he had a lot of vision for this show and focusing on it before looking at a countdown or specials around big events.” Parr agrees. “I want to make sure we do this right coming out of the blocks – energy, fun, informative and localized to each station and daypart.” The June 1 launch isn’t far off. “We have a few weeks to get people aboard,” Green says. “The show will be delivered via FTP and will be seamless in how it integrates into a station’s automation. And we’re not just talking about localization and customization, we’re doing it. Shawn is going to show up in the markets. He’s going to read liners and do reads for your local advertiser. This won’t be just another syndicated show.” There may even be a hint of quarantine fever in Parr’s eagerness to get rolling. “I can be in Alabama, Kentucky or Illinois in a matter of hours,” he says. “Nashville’s location makes it easy

have been able to feel like the mom I thought I would be when I was growing up by making home-cooked meals every night. And I’ve been baking. Those things are hard to do when you’re at the office late and traveling a lot. Last night after dinner, we played a game of Junior Monopoly. I did try Tiger King but found it Mckenna, Kristen, Eli and boring and didn’t finish it. We are trying to find “Hank Williams” appropriate things we can all do together. We also watched Contagion, which I’m not sure I would recommend, but it’s so spot-on. I miss my daily Starbucks immensely. I’ve been bingeing on Diet Coke – which may not be the wisest thing. Diet Coke and oranges. I didn’t think I’d miss travel as much as I have, but seeing fan interactions with my artists is something I definitely miss. But I also don’t want to look back and regret not taking advantage of the time I’ve had with my family. When it’s over, my first thing should probably be getting together with friends. We’re big lake people, and Memorial Day weekend is coming up. But if it’s just me, I’m going to Target to just wander the aisles and shop.
to visit so many stations, and Southwest flies everywhere. I can’t wait to be in all those places and telling the world about them. And I can’t wait to bring the whole country family to them every day. I’m like a little kid who just got tickets to Disneyland. I’m ready to run, and I don’t have an off switch.” Find out more about Key Networks and Shawn Parr’s Across The Country here. –Chuck Aly
