Live and Local Drive Time Index

[jaxradidio]

Here's something that might be fun I don't have time to do myself, but with the steady, methodical elimination of live, local talent in Atlanta, it'd be interesting to post a Live and Local Drive Time Index to watch further deterioration of the situation.

List the stations that still have live, local human beings on in AM and PM drive, awarding one point for each personality on the show...and watch that index go down as radio continues to eliminate itself as a legitimate medium for talent.

Live, local Atlanta drive-time radio? Try CB ch. 19.

I would say that Dave,Star,Project,X,Q,Kicks,V,Fish and Eagle are still live and local in PM drive. While Lite and River is not.

B 98, Smooth Jazz, Hot 107.9, and Kiss are still live and local in the PM

I am shocked that Cox actually has more live jocks than I thought. Don't Kelly & Alpha voice track most every shift.

955 The Beat? Live or VT?

Are we counting rimshot signals here? I think that would add a few more live&locals to the fold, maybe.

 

[jaxradidio]

Tellingly (and how often do you get to use the word "tellingly"?), the rimshot signals probably are more likely to have live local people still doing drive time.

How much of B's afternoon shift is live, really?

The two sports stations (680, 790) are both live in drive-time, although 680's morning show seems to be shrinking, and even though the Stews are national, they originate and speak to Atlanta.

Hmm ... I'm not sure that's true in/around Atlanta.

I'm not 100% sure it isn't, but definitely not sure that it is.

I do know for a fact that Kelly McCoy is live on B98.5 FM during afternoon drive.

As for the sports guys, 680 is live and local (and lousy), but the 2 live Stews on 790 are now nat'l. I think J93 is partially live in the PM as well.
