W

wired

is the john tesh radio show (on 105.7/97.3) the exact same program ?
Cause some times, it is - other times..not.

Does he can the same breaks, and both stations, use them as they wish?

Wondered how that worked..
Since, both are "techically" seperate markets, but clearly audible
in the alot of -doubleCoverage- just wondering how all of that factors
into that show making it on both well-respected stations..

I think it's a cd that is sent to all stations who pay for the privillage of airing him, and that each station presses play on their computer seperately, or something like that...not really sure, but I suspect it's not really a sattelite feed.<P ID="signature">______________

Sadly, it is a satellite feed. Hopefully, the satellite will not nod off some evening and return to earth.

Thanks. Odd how the feed delays, or seems to be very different from station to station sometimes though.

Actually....

They offer the show two different ways.... either via Satellite (with the mainstream AC music programmed and scheduled), or via a voicetrack version, whereby stations download all of the "Tesh content", and schedule their own music around the trax.... thats how he's on so many different formats (Ac, Hot AC, Smooth Jazz, Oldies, etc. I'm not sure which stations use which version, but that would explain why you can hear the show on two different stations, and they're both playing different tunes.

Thank-you! Downloading is also what I meant.

We run the Tesh Show on my station and take the daily segments from a download site, then insert our music locally to be in CRTC compliance with our COL's and Cancon regs. Based on listener comments, the Tesh Show is well received and we were able to get it sold to a major sponsor fairly easily based on his name & reputation. Local ID's, Promos, sponsor credits, etc are recorded for each station to increase the degree of apparent local involvement.

We even had a couple come down to the station at the end of his on-air shift to meet him one night because they were certain he was in the studio doing the show live .... well, I never said they were smartest couple.

Prior to going with the John Tesh Show, we were straight "Jockless Automation" and Tesh has added a level of programming we otherwise would not have been able to afford based on the amount of revenue available in the evening shift. With Tesh, we are profitable in that time slot ... finally.

I enjoy listening to him but can't say I sit glued to the radio for a full shift the same way I did in 1965 to 1970 when I listened to CKLW in their heyday ... but hey, I can't stand to listen to very much Canadian radio for hours at a time either because every single Cancon song thats played to reach a quota irks me. The Classic Rock stations just don't have enough black music for my personal tastes, the 400 song AM Oldies formats burn me out in an hour and the format is illegal in Canada on FM .... in fact I'm usually hard pressed to hear any black artists on a Classic Rock formatted station anywhere ... sounds like the format was developed by a bunch of southern "Good Old Boys." I'm proud of the way the station sounds with Test on-air.

Besides, any guy who is smart enough to get it on with Connie Sellecca deserves at least a tiny amount of respect! http://www.geocities.com/conniesellecca/

sidebar/off shoot, but curious ?

..thnx for the john tesh info..that did satisfy my
curosity of how the show was actually produced..but,

post (below):

"...the 400 song AM Oldies formats burn me out in an hour and the format is
illegal in Canada on FM .... "

*Is this true..for one, and if it is, can u clearly define what
is the illegeal format on Canadian Radio? Or, is it just
Canadian FM Radio ? i want to know !

Any song prior to 1981...long story short, difficult to do this format on FM in Canada, and yes, all oldies is illegal on FM in Canada, and so is talk. (not including certain exceptions like CBC, and certain places in Canada where talk radio has been granted the go ahead on FM)

Re: sidebar/off shoot, but curious ?

Howdy. CRTC Radio Regulations made persuant to the Broacast Act limit the number of hits that can be played without a specific authorization at the time of licensing. Next to zero stations have been given authority to exceed the minimum. I don't have access to the regs at this location right now, so I'm hesitant to post an off the top of my head max percentage. Our limit is 60% max category 2 music and 40% category 3 which we make up from selections in the Smooth Jazz category.

Therefore, in Canada we can't have an "Oldies on FM" station like KLDE in Houston that I used to enjoy while I was there on business trips.

Their idea is to "encourage" musical diversity on the FM band, while AM's are "grandfathered" and able to run the format with 100% hits as a way to assist them to overcome the technical limitations of the AM band for music transmission.

I'm hard pressed to think of any Canadian Oldies format stations on AM that aren't struggling for their lives either finacially and/or market share.
