Anymore on WNAP?

While I love your explanation please refrain from using descriptions of female body parts (or is it an STD?) even if it was an Asimov quote.

I LOVED Space Station Shirk. Why don't we do it again? If only for a weekend or a week.

I always wondered early on why I couldn't hear it at night. Thought that darkness killed the signal! WNDE and WIFE got so much weaker at night too.

I'm working on my local part 15 AM in Greenfield. Maybe this is where I can do something fun.

On funny and exciting morning shows:
I'd love to quote Neil Karney Told the morning guy : "There's funny and there's frikin funny"...and you're not frikin funny. Jock learned that day he wasn't as funny as he thought...

Or on temperature at the airport : George Carlin and Randy Michaels: No one wants the airport temperature because no one lives there...

I guess it is like the change from Croseley and his empire. Things always change. Stern (hate him or not) has a big audience not on radio. Many have internet based audiences. Drudge is the #4 respected national news organization and he runs his operation from the basement of his home.

In the church they call this the post modern phenomena. At seminary they had a great story: Comparison between church and jail. fits any situation where you are looking for an audience.

Does the jail put carpet and extra expense into the cells to get criminals to come? Stadium seats? New sound system? Billboards? Radio Spots? Internet Cafe with Mocha deluxe free during special outreach time? No, they still won't. Does a jail rock band or a special activity night result in criminals coming to jail? No. They have to leave their box and find them.

Somehow you need to make the connection with your audience then develop it. I don't see much of this in radio. The corporate structure doesn't do muc for me....
 
Love that last line "Chief"... That' EXACTLY what's happend...... Ol' Gasses or or Nu' Perfume..... "Skippy"
 
Beyond a connection you have to give them a reason to listen; there in lies the problem. The new millennium Bill Shirk's are out there but they are stifled by an over crowded dial where the price of a signal is off the scale. Even worse that corporate radio won't allow you to try something different which is why we have radio pablum today; filling but hardly memorable.
 
I can remember hearing this guy on WNAP who did most of the Voice stuff in the mid to late 70's, he also would dj from time to time. I think he called himself Eric. It wouldn't have been Chuck Riley, would it?
Can anyone shed any light on this? thanks
 
Think his name was Eric Edwards. He moved to WENS in the 80s and then to Power in LA. Not sure where he is now, but he may be doing independent voice work.
 
Yep, I remember Eric Edwards from the long list of memorable players at Nap. Did he also do the HiFi Buys or Ovation spots?

Nope, that was Bruce Munson.
