Greatest Hits USA

Our local Oldies Station Kool 96.1/990 in the Hartford Market (along with sister stations Kool 104.3/1180 in Westerly and Kool 100.1/1279 in Springfield, Mass) carries a syndicated show Saturday Mornings 6AM-9AM and Sundays Evenings 6PM-9PM called Greatest Hits USA. It had been hosted by a guy named Chuck Taylor. Now for the last few weeks it's been hosted by a guy named Chuck Matthews. - Anyone know what happened to Chuck Taylor?

The show also airs on an independently owned station on Long Island called The Breeze 93.3/1440.

Maybe the syndicator chucked him out the door.

Could be for either one, we are getting to the time of the year, when a lot of regular radio hosts like to take time off and use up whatever vacation time they have left. Next week is going to be Thanksgiving in the United States.

Radio vacations for key positions have traditionally been given in what used to be the 2 to 3 weeks of no diary surveying between Christmas and New Year and the week between Spring and Summer books... at least since Arbitron standardized all markets for simultaneous measurement in the early part of the 70's.

Even in the PPM era, where dates are synchronized in both diary and PPM markets, the "down" period is really the second week of December to the first week of January.

Obviously, there are vacations given at other times of the year, but the industry has always preferred that the least important survey periods... or "dark" weeks... be used if possible.
