"New Shoreham Rhode Island"
I almost called-in!
But I would've been competing with...
"TORONTO!"
"MIAMI LAKES, FLORIDA!"
"WEST FARGO!"
"DOVER, DELAWARE!"
"UNITED ARAB EMIRATES!"
"BAY CITY, MICHIGAN!"
How about when Casey Kasem would salute affiliates, always naming a "W" station, a "K" station, and somewhere-exotic?
"AT40 IS HEARD ACROSS-THE-USA AND AROUND-THE-WORLD ON GREAT RADIO STATIONS LIKE WKBW, BUFFALO, KKAR, OMAHA, AND SIX ZED KOALA, NEW SOUTH WALES AUSTRALIA. NOW, ON-WITH-THE-COUNTDOWN..."

aqualung, Are you trying to be funny? Holland can post all he wants! Nobody is bullying anybody.
These posts are mostly off topic. It makes the site look ridiculous. Are you hitting Charles's cellar crop or what?

Holland Cooke,
I have taken you to task here on several occasions, and I do think that some of your posts here ARE off topic, you do make me laugh. There are sooooo many angry people here that your rapier-like wit can be amusing.

ON-topic:
Does anyone have an aircheck of The Dan Yorke Show this past THURSDAY, 507-520PM?
CD quality not necessary.
Good-enough-to-play-in-a-conference-room is OK.
REWARD: Email -- anonymously if you wish -- to [email protected], and I'll give you a free one-year subscription to my monthly newsletter.
Second prize: TWO year subscription.

PS: If you could step-into a Time Machine, and go back to ANY time, either in your past, or before you were born, WHEN would you go back to?
WHAT would you like to witness...or...possibly CHANGE, altering the course of history?
When one host I coach, in a market elsewhere, asked callers that question, responses included:
"September 10, 2001, so I could try to stop the terrorists."
"The Big Bang"
"To meet Gen. George Patton, to ask his advice on Iraq."
"To see my parents dating when they were teenagers."
The-very-NEXT-caller said: "The one thing I DON'T want to see is my-parents-dating-when-they-were-teenagers!"
When would you go-back-to?
Reason-I-ask: Because I WISH I had an aircheck of that hour, and I don't.
So I'm gathering responses for a blog demonstration I'm building out.

HOLLAND:
Is that the day when Dan said he was going to change (not his exact words) cause he was rough on us?
Don't have anything proving he said that but would hate the day when
Mr. Yorke would be nice to his audience . We love him being himself (tough).
Wish you luck getting that video from someone somewhere.

"Wish you luck getting that video from someone somewhere."
Well-wishes mucho appreciado!
Although he-or-she and I don't always agree here, I'll concur with Joint-Chinese that, too often, the tone here, as on-air, is too grouchy.
Heck, the-very-name "Mrs. Joy" brightens things up here.
(And I continue to be intrigued by the name "Joint-Chinese...")
In just-the-several-hours since that last post, I have already gotten one video...on the Time Machine topic, which I'll include in the eventual montage.

Come on Harland. . .did you get that tape of Dan York you were looking for??? We want to know. BTW what did you need it for??
RE "did you get that tape of Dan York you were looking for???"
Good morning from Atlanta, and the 2008 Radio Advertising Bureau convention.
Notes to follow, @ www.HollandCooke.com
"Painless Aircheck Meetings."
Aircheck review DOESN'T need to feel like visiting-the-dentist!
How to de-fang the important technique coaching process?
Use SOMEONE ELSE'S mouth!
When I visit stations I work with, and meet with the on-air staff, we listen to airchecks...FROM OTHER MARKETS.
Then -- as Linda Richman used to say on Coffee Tawk -- "discuss."
Removing pride-of-authorship-tension changes the process.
Talent I coach ALWAYS ask "will you be bringing new airchecks?"
Often, it's easier to hear mistakes YOU are making by hearing-SOMEONE ELSE-make-'em.
Ditto for technique that clicks.
So I bring airchecks that are particularly instructive of technique to emulate or avoid.
We listen, and I ask, "Whattya think?"
Want a DEADLY aircheck meeting? Play tape by someone-attending-the-meeting.
Want a USEFUL, LIVELY aircheck meeting? Play tape-from-a-W-station when-you-visit-a-K-station.
1980s war story: When I was managing WTOP/Washington, I'd "lurk" KYW/Philadelphia.
Once a year, I'd check-into the Philly Airport Marriott, and log the market's top-rated all-news AM.
Lots of room service, lots of notes.
It's VERY instructive, hearing someone-else-tilt-at-the-same-windmill you do, because there's no squirming.
"Objectivity," y'know?

Important: NO pre-disposing set-up.
It devalues the process if I characterize the work before those-attending hear it.
I just press Play, like a-listener-pushing-a-radio-button...

Joint, Why do I think you're either Holland or Dave Barber? Hum..
This thread is SUPPOSED to be about Allen, Barber, Yorke.
Maybe it's just Hollands way of regenerating his pallie Barber.
Booooooooooooooooooo

NOT me.
And -- unlike The Anonymous Majority here -- I think Dave Barber is "Dave Barber" here.
But you'd know that by searching, eh?
