Changes at CC?

[HouTexas]

"The company has since retreated from voice-tracking: It now accounts for only 9% of all of its programming, down from 15% several years ago."

" Clear Channel execs now refer to their "incubators" when discussing new projects, and Mark says the company is "less radiocentric and more listener-centric."

hmmm...

HA!!!!!
Oh do they count shows brought in via sat or the network and put together locally as VTed? Probably not...Like Cindy Spicer (who for some reason is still on their Dallas Mix...yuk!...her show is somewhat different...only the voice track itself is sent...the music and spots are all done locally and the whole show is put together at the local station....most VT shows are done where the jock can download the log along with music, etc, insert their voicetrack, mix it the way they want it to sound, then send the whole thing back to the other end ready to go!)

I guess VT is hard to do when you have only 2-3 2 minute commercial breaks an hour<P ID="signature">______________

Re: Internet Radio in the car?

I don't understand.
Would that be called "doing the same thing" and using some minor change in subroutine as a basis for the claimed drop in percentages?

Hopefully, they understand that listeners don't see a difference between V-T and syndication. We usually put them in the same catagory. Most of the time it isn't in a catagory they'd like, anyway.
