Record Executive Butch Waugh To Retire In December

Sony Music Nashville executive VP Butch Waugh has announced plans to retire at the end of the year, capping off a successful, 37-year career in the music business, where he has worked in the pop, urban and country formats. He spent 27 of those years with Sony Music Entertainment, including stints as a local promotion rep for predecessor RCA in Atlanta, and then executive positions in New York and Nashville.

Radio Remembers: Radio pioneer Ralph Widman; Oklahoma City host Lisa Mirick

Ralph Widman began his career at KTBS-AM in Shreveport, Louisiana in 1939, had a stint on Ft. Worth’s KFJZ, and spent time with WFAA radio and WFAA-TV. He was a manager of what is now KKDA-AM and did sports on both radio and TV. Widman left the studio, getting into the representation business and ran several rep firms.

Well-known Programmer Dene Hallam In Intensive Care

We’re very sad to report that veteran radio programmer Dene Hallam is in intensive care in Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta and his prognosis is reportedly not good. Hallam has been with the Moby In The Morning Network for the past two and a half years, and members of his work family are with him at the hospital. Moby says Hallam has been unresponsive for several days, and that a priest conducted Catholic last rites on Thursday night. Hallam has programmed such stations as KKBQ Houston, WWWW (W4) Detroit, KCMO-FM Kansas City, WDAF Kansas City and WKHX Atlanta. He started his career on the pop side, and was always proud of being one of the few programmers to have won Billboard Radio Awards for PD of the year in two different formats. Hallam is the father of three daughters: Elizabeth, Samantha and Hayleigh. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Rodney Ho has more on the Atlanta Board of Radio-Info.com.

Measuring Success

Games are more fun when you keep score—and the way you’re keeping score is going to be important in 2010. RETHINKING MEASUREMENT is an important undertaking for the media industry, and there’s already plenty of shifting in progress—from PPM to Streaming Measurement. Two of radio’s largest “metrics vendors,” Arbitron and Ando Media, have both earned headlines this year for their maneuvers in measurement. While they’ve drawn some heat from customers and buyers—and various debates rightfully continue about each of their practices—they both deserve some applause.

‘Booty Call Songs’ On The Rise At Country Radio

Ladyantebellum_sm__default_scaled_related_scaled

There are enough sexy songs getting played on country radio right now to warrant a “booty call song” category in stations’ music scheduling software. That’s because the latest burgeoning trend in country music seems to be songs with overtly sexual themes. And while country radio stations are known to quickly edit songs with potentially offensive language, such as the “ass” reference in the chorus of the Zac Brown Band’s “Toes,” the most interesting thing about this new crop of sexually-themed songs is that so many of them are becoming consensus hits, completely unencumbered by radio edits.

The A.E. Whisperer

Florascoutand_lolaspacealiens_related_scaled

The dog and I were out in the field this weekend. She's a Flat-coated Retriever, and she just lives to get out there and hunt. Not go hunting with me, mind you; no, she loves nothing better than hunting on her own. That old dog has great hunter's instincts, doing her best work off in the brambles, where she knows the hunting is best. While she loves to hunt alone, she also loves to bring back what she's caught, to show it off and get her reward. She's really good at what she does, and when it comes to hunting, I'm probably more of a distraction than an asset to her work. Kinda like a lot of sales managers I've seen lately.

The Gaming Of Media

One year ago, the Pew Internet & American Life project released a study that outlined an entertainment category that has grown so large that it was approaching radio and television in terms of usage. Was it social media, that headline-generating wave of the past few years? No, it was video gaming, a category that is routinely ignored by the press but has gotten so big that the industry is now larger than Hollywood, as outlined in a recent Daily Observer column from the UK. And the gaming story crosses all boundaries—from hardware device to demographics. We are seeing nothing less than the video gaming of life, and it is an area where radio must pay attention and use to its advantage.

Never Lose A Listener

If your very life depended on keeping a listener: Would you still put that on the radio that way? Think about it. How do you keep that person glued to the radio, listening to you? With People Meter measurement just around the corner, and the technological shift making offering many choices available, it becomes more important than ever not to lose a listener. If they're bored, you've lost the listener. So you can't be boring, not even for a minute! If we know that listeners leave when they are bored, either mentally, or tuning out physically and their attention goes elsewhere, what can you do?

KRST Tackles Twitter's Best And Worst Country Artists

Country KRST Albuquerque, N.M., recently posted some interesting internal research on its site in which artists were given a score from one to five “Tweets” depending on their Twitter activity. Station personnel checked the Twitter accounts of 59 stars, judging them on a set of criteria including whether it’s really them posting, how much information they share about their personal life, how often they update, whether they do fun things for fans including contesting, and whether they reply to fan comments.

A Labor Day Trio Of Format Change First Listens

When radio revenue and the national economy both nosedived last September, the normal format change activity that precedes the fall ratings book ground to a halt. At that time, it was typical to hear from group owners and GMs that even improved ratings weren’t likely to improve their available revenue – so why go through the expense of a format change?
