    How Urban One’s radiothons leverage local stations to raise money for St. Jude (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Radio One has not owned a station in Los Angeles since 2008, when it sold KRBV (now KKLQ, 100.3 FM) to Bonneville Broadcasting. In fact, the closest station to Southern California Radio One owns is in Dallas, Texas. But the company still has some ties to the area through its partnership with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Children from all over the country — including Southern California — benefit from the research and treatments originating from the hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, that

    Will the trend of forming regional clusters help radio? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Jerry Del Colliano recently featured an interesting report on InsideMusicMedia.com. It seems that there’s a new type of consolidation in the radio industry, involving the formation of regional clusters due to financial problems. “Highly leveraged national operators are shedding or rationalizing properties,” he writes, referring to the large broadcast groups such as iHeart, Audacy and a handful of others, “while smaller operators can acquire entire clusters for a few million dollars — or sometime

    Why Southern California radio needs to bring back song battles (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    One of my earliest radio memories — besides the Monday top-10 countdowns on the same station — was the KCBQ/San Diego music battle. I can’t recall what they called it, but it was an occasional weekend feature where the station would start with two songs, after which listeners would call in to vote for their favorite of the two during a third neutral song. The winner would then be played, followed by a new challenger, and more voting. This would continue throughout the weekend — winner, challenge

    Is it too early for Christmas music? Not according to this radio station (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Summertime … camping, surfing, walks on the beach. Burgers and corn on the grill. Outdoor movie nights on the back lawn. Temperatures in the 90s. And Christmas music on the radio. Wait, Christmas music? On the radio? Yes, indeed. Saul Levine made the switch on KKGO’s (105.1 FM) HD3 stream on Aug. 21st. I think it is the competitive nature of Levine that pushed him to make the switch early … he can rightfully state that he is the first station in the country to do so. Will it succeed? Actually, i

    Why local listeners may be interested in a book about Philadelphia radio (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I’ve been reading a new book on radio lately, “The Mighty WMMR: An Oral History of Philadelphia’s Rock Radio Revolution.” Written by one of the station’s former music directors, Erin Riley, and published by Temple University Press, it was released on July 31 and is available at bookstores everywhere. Now, as a Southern California native, why would I be interested in a book about a Philadelphia rocker? Well, for one thing, WMMR — the MMR standing for Metro-Media Radio — is a sister station of our
