Jagger on WKTU voice tracked?

M

moshewx

Stopped listening to this station a long time ago, but sampled last night. I heard the night jock, Jagger, speak for a few seconds, and as soon as he finished, there was a Nextel walkie talkie phone sound. He is still on the website of the station in CT he was on before KTU, so obviously he's on both stations. Voice tracking stinks!
 
And how does the Nextel walkie-talkie sound imply that Jagger is voicetracked? I mean, he may very well be, but how do you come to that conclusion based on the walkie-talkie sound? It could just be one of those quickie ads that lasts a few seconds that CC stations have been adding recently.
 
No, it was not an ad, and I was just asking. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that if hes on two stations, in two different states, that he's voice tracked on one of them. And he was at the CT station for a long time before WKTU. Please read the post closely.
 
Yes, he is voicetracked, obviously, if he's on the air simultaneously in both NY and CT on different stations with different formats. However, my point was...where did the Nextel "ring" fit in to that?
 
Aha! I called Jagger for the first time a few nights ago, and got a female employee on the line. I was surprised, since I thought the KTU jocks answered their own phones. Voice tracking would explain it.

Click to expand...

you're probably right that the Nextel sound was a "blink"...a CC :02 spot.
as for why someone would equate that sound with VT-ing...no answer to that.

but it's difficult to explain how it works to someone who hasn't actually done it...or at least seen
someone tracking a shift. I'm guessing they have some misguided idea of having to be in contact with
the tracked station...and doing the tracks in near-real time. or maybe not.
 
Jagger is definitely live on KTU, I know this for a fact.
