Live and Local

G

Gatekeeper007

I am one that always believes that live and local always helps a station be a part of it's listeners. My question is what do you think and which stations still have some live and local broadcasts and to what degree. With automation taking over and the internet or satellite giving a conduit for DJ's to be any where what what do you consider local, in house recording, remote satellite studios (like we use on our morning show), just keep it in the state what? With cost factors being higher than ever for trying to keep a station on the air and yes automation keeps some things going while distorying others what is a good mix of both and who is doing it best or right or wrong.
 
If I'm not mistaken, Florence only has two live and local morning shows, both Qantum: Ed & Tessa on Eagle 92.9, Fisher & Mattie on 103X. Is Tom Kinard still on at Miller? If so, that would be three local morning shows in a market with, what, 20 stations?
 
Columbia has Morning Rush on WCOS, Woody Windham on WOMG, live on WTCB, live on WISW, live on 107.5 sports, live on WVOC, not sure about 94.3 or the lower power stations. Of course, four of those lives are now on Cumulus. Let's see if this post changes in the next couple of months.
 
Charleston has live/local morning shows on 93.3 (Tessa and Baby J), 94.3, 95.1 (Two Girls and a Guy), 96.9 (Ryan, Tyler and Jessica), 105.5, 106.3, 1250 (Richard Todd), 103.5 (WEZL Morning Crew), and 102.5. I believe 98.9 is live too with Bill Shannon. Pretty good for a market like this. Also could count WALI 93.7 with the owner and his morning show. Some could be cut in the next few months though.
 
Greenville has live on 92,5, 93.3, 93.7, 98.9, 100.5, 102.5, and 106.3. The stations using voicetracking during the week that I'm aware of are 98.1 in the morning, 100.5 in the afternoons/nights, 102.5 in the afternoons, and maybe 92.5 at night. 107.3 syndicates mornings and afternoons.

I don't know about the other stations they own, but Entercom is decent about having live people on 93.7 and 98.9 weekends on mid-days/afternoons. I noticed the other weekend that 98.9 seemed to be the only live station at 9am on a Sunday.
