Does KVET not even do live calls any more?
- Thread starter jras20

It's a nationwide thing. Talk shows-- not that this is really a talk show anymore-- are supposed to focus on the hosts and their personality... not the calls. They only use calls that stay on message..
Makes me miss the old days of taking calls live and without a delay. You never knew what the person at the other end was going to say and that really added to the spontaneity of the show.
But apparently that's old hat and just not good radio.

I recall when they took unscreened calls live (with delay), and played the occasional (off-chart) tunes. They had a dedicated meteorologist, a full time news person, plus David Anderson on sports. They peaked at a 13.7 share, 12+, with 50% of all listeners who made more than $100,000 a year.
"without a delay"
are you kidding me? that'll costs you a few hundred thousand as soon as someone says the F word.
if you start letting your callers dictate your show, you'll soon be a caller yourself.

Personally, I prefer the spontaneity of a call-intensive talk show over having a show driven by only the host's point of view. I enjoy listening and participating in shows that have fired up, enthusiastic callers who do add a lot of incite to the debate. I also enjoy music radio during true all request hours where the listener dictates the playlist.
this is why you guys dont have jobs in radio.
old school mentality.

no call screeners and of course a time delay(to block profanity ,ect , not ideas in general ) would be great in more talk shows in radio.then you would have more honesty in the shows.not a i am here to just propigate my views shows.

That "old school mentality" as you would dismiss it, sir, provided a lot of jobs and a lot of entertainment for millions. When you compare that to the radio combines today that are both fiscally and creatively bankrupt, well, please enjoy what remains of your career in what passes for...."radio".
so did the printing press...

"Old school mentality" is what some call "experience." That's because such people are envious of the knowledge acquired by broadcast survivors... those who have made it through the rise of FM, 80-90 and consolidation and are contributing insights based on years of that same experience.
There is a quote that says, "the older I get, the less I know."
I knew it all when I was 20. Today, I know a small amount about a small number of things. So I try to learn new stuff (and that does not mean understanding the meaning of BFF and such) ranging from spectrum usage to the different protocols in wireless technology, just as I learned the allocation of the AM band decades ago.
P.S. I also learn every new step in PPM, such as how adddress based recruitment affects HDHA and HDBA recruiting, or how Geo Zones may distribute the sample in lower density portions of a metro. Or, perhaps, knowing that Arbitron will not implement numbers from the 2010 Census when they do the population updates in October and the demo updates in the first half of 2012.
You might learn from those you dismiss as "old farts."

And on that old-school slam: Too many programmers hear someone else's rule or guideline and adopt it, without knowing where it came from or how it came about. The successful ones look at their own circumstances and situation and decide for themselves.
It helps to know what has worked in the past, and why.
I still hurt for the way the Capstar gang came in back in '98, and told the people at one of the most successful radio operations in the state that they were small-time, and their knowledge and experience weren't wanted or needed. KVET and KASE never recovered.
