Headfirst Fearless: WQYK At ACMs A few dozen stations will be anchored in a ballroom near the MGM Grand Garden Arena for Westwood One’s ACM Radio Remote broadcasts this Friday and Saturday (4/16-17) and for WQYK/Tampa, the chips are in on a new concept. “We’ve been building toward this, but now we get to truly see it in action,” says OM Mike Culotta. “We weren’t quite at this point for the CMA Music Fest, we played with it a little more at the CMA Awards, and now we’re all in headfirst.” For the station’s first ACM weekend under the PPM system, ‘QYK has adopted an integrated multimedia approach that points days of preparation, promotion and anticipation squarely at Awards Sunday (4/18). “We’re going to be recording everything Friday and Saturday for an all-day ACM Sunday,” Culotta explains. “It was the only thing that made sense to us based on the schedule. “Starting at 10am we’ll come out of the Rise Up show and come back to [morning teamers] Randy and Dave, who will be on the air all the way through as we countdown to the show, run the red carpet stuff and then air the awards themselves. It will really be a theater of the mind experience.” Culotta says the station has already been in promotion high gear, touting Randy and Dave live from Vegas on awards day. Saturday, the plan is to include a dozen or more vignettes of audio from past ACM Awards – winners being announced, for instance. But the on-air element is only part of the plan.

My Tunes: Music ThaT shaped My Life
WGGY/Wilkes Barre MD/middayer Jessie Roberts discusses her most important songs, artists or concerts:1. Mary Chapin Carpenter/The Long Way Home: Sometimes we all need a little reminder to slow down and enjoy the things that really matter in life. “Accidents and inspiration lead you to your destination” is one of the greatest song lyrics ever written.2. Johnny Rivers/Secret Agent Man:
This song plays a major role in one of my most vivid childhood memories. My dad would put this record on and I would stand on his feet and dance. It still stops me in my tracks when I hear it.3. Billy Joel/Only The Good Die Young: This is my go-to song when I need a pick-me-up. How can you not smile while listening to it?4. Eric Clapton/Wonderful Tonight: When I was in fourth grade, I decided this song would be my wedding song. I haven’t changed my mind.5. John Mellencamp/I Need A Lover: I’ve been a fan since I could remember. And c’mon, who can’t relate to this song?• A highly regarded song or album you’ve never heard: Oasis’ Be Here Now.• An “important” piece of music you just don’t get: Phish.• An album you played or listened to incessantly: Eric Church’s Carolina and The Essential Mary Chapin Carpenter (I’ve played the CD so many times it skips).• One obscure or non-country song everyone should listen to right now: Melissa Etheridge’s “I Run For Life.”

afraid to throw a punch.” The three men were settling in for the night when one handed Wayne a guitar and asked him to play. “I noticed the action was bad, so I offered to sand down the bridge with his mother’s pumice stone for heel calluses,” Wayne said. When Wayne put the guitar back together, he realized he had sanded it too low. “I was thinking, ‘They’re going to kick my ass,’” said Wayne, who played it off like everything was okay. “When I left, I immediately called my Takamine guitar rep, who rushed to my rescue and sent them a brand new guitar.” Follow Wayne and his close calls here.

Headfirst Fearless (continued from page 1) Video has played a prominent role in past station remotes and is again a key component, along with social networking. “We’re going to video everything and post it to the website shortly after the interviews air,” he says. “As each artist comes on, it will seem to the listener that it’s happening in real time. For instance, we’ll tweet that Reba is about to be on, then we’ll air her interview and tweet that she’s on. When her interview is over we’ll post video, an mp3 and photos to the website and tweet to

send people to it. “For the look and feel back home, we’re going to do an enormous amount of off-site stuff away from the remotes. We’ll be interviewing an Elvis, taking pictures in front of the Bellagio fountains and giving listeners a sense of the build up to the awards. And the guys will be wearing the same clothes both days to keep continuity on the video. Then they’ll take a red-eye back Sunday night and be back here bright and early Monday.” Having all of Sunday’s content completed in advance offers advantages. “We think we’ll be able to find a better flow having everything done before we put it together. We can spread the interviews out more strategically with an A artist followed by a baby act, then back to another top artist. Doing it live you sometimes have two or three baby acts in a row. “It will also allow us to better promote the artist interviews since we’ll know what they said. ‘We hear Reba is doing such-and-such. And we’ll ask her about it, coming up next.’ It will allow us to do a little more teasing.” Metered ratings and preliminary indications about how listeners respond to talk and music played a role in planning. “This entire thing is built around the PPM concept,” Culotta
says. “We want to have the strongest interviews possible, and we like putting everything in one day instead of spreading it over two. Listeners have short attention spans.” The approach is also manpower-effective. “Doing this live could be easy if we had six or eight people handling all these responsibilities. But pushing it all into one day really allows just a couple of people to manage this. Randy and Dave can do the interviews, they can edit, they can put the tweets and posts in a delayed queue and then as Sunday unfolds we can have people at the station post the stuff to the site and send out tweets in real time.” The WQYK team hopes the plan hits the audience at multiple connection points. “It’s a new world,” Culotta says. “We’ve got traditional terrestrial radio, digital audio, video, tweeting, texting, Facebooking. Whatever platform a fan is on, we’ve got a way for them to connect to this event. We feel like putting it all in one day is in the best interest of the listeners – they’ll get the best content possible – as well as the ACM, which will have us pushing everyone toward that broadcast Sunday night.” Even so, Culotta may have a tough time keeping his attention solely on Sunday night’s show. “It’s the same night as the Celebrity Apprentice, and I was the radio judge on that,” he says. “We were going to do a whole thing to promote that show, too, but the ACMs win out. We’ll have to talk about the Apprentice somewhere down the line.” CAC
