Hi folks. Mike Sheridan here.
Dave Richards, owner, operator, and morning man of WOON in Woonsocket has an interesting offer. These are his words as sent to me by carrier pigeon, or was it email?
"The premise is that there are radio veterans out there who love to do radio but don't have a ride. I'm offering any and all of them to come up to Woonsocket and play radio and have some fun, no obligation, as a gift to them in honor of their love of radio broadcasting. Either for "old time's sake" or to keep up their skills, or to make a new tape for job seeking, it doesn't matter to me what style of music they do, or if the do talk, so long as they use their inestimable talents in a tribute to the best that radio can be.
The usual precautions exist. Be professional, no bad language or libeling folks, but other than that, it's free form to either do what they always did, or do something they never did but always wanted to do. Bring your own tunes or use songs from our 8,500 cut system library. If they want to sell commercials and air them, fine, they keep all the money. There will also be WOON ROS spots that will air during the shows, three times each hour.
Each radio professional will be required to tell us in general terms what they plan to do, and to choose an available time slot. The amount of time in each slot will depend on how many people ask for time, but we'll start with the idea of two hour slots and work from there. First come, first served. Right now the times available are from 9am to 11pm Saturday July 5th and from right after the parade on Friday July 4th (about 12:30pm) to 6pm and from 7pm to 11pm Friday as well."
Such a deal! I'll be doing a bit and I hope you will join us. BTW, Dave made this offer a couple of weeks ago and asked me to post it here. I've been too busy, er, lazy unitl now.
The phone number for WOON is 401 762-1240.
