Carolyn Kruse To Retire From WKLB August 28

Why wait until Labor Day? Philly's Andie Summers Show debuts on Monday in mornings. And yes, this is what Beasley is doing companywide.

Soooo who does that leave in the rest of the day?

People keep mentioning Jackson Blue - isn't his afternoon predecessor Kevin Kennedy tracking on ROR?
 
Corporate radio continues to move towards the corporate TV network programming philosophy. This trend will continue for music stations. The business model mandates programming consolidation to remain profitable.

The real problem is the lack of advertising money and the continued decline of broadcast radio audiences.

If audiences for broadcast radio remained the same, this would not be happening. It's happening in broadcast TV too.

Streaming is killing jobs in traditional media.
 
RadioInsight reports WKLB is searching for an afternoon host with a least 3 years experience


Unfortunately, im sure whoever they hire will be paid way less then jackson, no matter how good they are, will probbaly do a bit more off air work than jackson... and who they hire will be glad to be in boston so theyll take it. im going to bank on a much smaller market talent that shows alot of promise getting a big leap up for this job.

and if my guesstimate is correct and i was the person interviewed from a small market and offered the job, i cant say id likely turn it down....... the door step to similar or even bigger markets.

I hope so. Someone new should not get paid more than someone who had been there for 10 years. That would be unfair.

What this confirms to me is something I've read, and that is afternoon drive attracts more money than morning drive.

what im getting at is the pay is not a symptom of the person... but more so the person they get from a smaller market based what the company will end up paying and theyre attitude, somewhat understandably so is "we can work with this person and mold them to be better and what we want"

I find that hard to beleive with regards to morning vs aftenroon with what little i know about morning drive but what i know about pm drive.. mornings have always paid more

It never is. The other side of that is that in the case of a salary job, the employer takes all the risk at the start. It's up to the employee to prove their value and that they deserve more money, either through ratings or sales. Right now, it's obvious sales is in the dumper.

mornings have always paid more

Yep, but depending on format, some stations are giving up mornings completely, and focusing on afternoon drive.

Remain profitable?

Most corporate size radio broadcasters are operating at a large Net Loss.

They are cutting headcount to try to limit losses.
