The Independent Format: Triple A Programmers Build Brands Over Time
|
In recent months the launch of triple A stations in New York and Los Angeles has been a jewel in the crown for the format. Far from cookie-cutter, the "New Kids on the Block" session at the R&R Triple A Summit highlighted the format's diversity and flexibility. Moderated by Paragon Media Strategies' Mike Henry, the panelists discussed the essence of their respective stations and played scoped airchecks that highlighted their musical diversity and genuine localism, and showed how their Web sites catered to their listeners.

The Tom Kent Radio Network continues to stampede across half the planet, like a giant Steamroller of Radio Love: New believers include CBS Classic Hits KLTH (K-Hits 106.7)/Portland, OR and NextMedia Classic Hits WWYW (Y103.9) in suburban Chicago, where the show will run every day, and Entercom Adult Hits WNTR (107.9 The Track)/Indianapolis, where it's picked up on weekends.
Alicia Pecorino departs the MD/afternoons chair at Clear Channel Hot AC KOSO (B93.1)/Modesto, CA -- she's heading up to CBS Radio Hot AC KLLC (Alice@97.3)/San Francisco for part-time. Back at B93.1, morning co-host Tammy Cruise picks up Pecorino's discarded MD stripes, vacuums them off with a nearby Dustbuster and then sews them on her own sleeve. Also, our favorite Super Troopers-themed jock, night guy John Chimpo, moves up to afternoons.
John Whalen adds on Day-Glo MD stripes valid at soon-to-not-be-Clear Channel Hot AC KHMX (Mix 96.5)/Houston, a station that is also nominated for a prestigious R&R Industry Achievement Award. "I've been grooming him for the gig since January -- and now he can be the fall guy," PD Keith Scott tells ST. "John said, 'You want me to be what?! Only if we can do lunch at Dave and Buster's.'"
