question about the rose

Where is Shannon and who is doing nights? What happened to Billy and the other part time girl they had, looks like they have new weekenders. The station is sounding better than ever with the music.
 
I think it's safe to say the differences that used to exist between small market radio and Providence have pretty much disappeared.Is small market radio improving or is Providence just the black hole of New England radio considering the only actual news is about The Wheeler School and an inner city dark station?It may be better than a year ago when downsizing ruled the market but that cycle will come around again.

i would say small market radio is sounding a whole lot better........ especially when in providence you have a #1 rated station that cant even or dont wanna put a permant jock in the night position..... just when it was sounding decent by the previous jock...... and most of the mid-day slots are now voiced tracked
 
I would say one reason smaller market radio is sounding better is lack of jobs elsewhere. Quite a few jocks more than capable of handling larger market jobs are working in smaller markets because those larger market jobs in the area just are not there. With the exception of obvious names everyone would recognize as being the tentpoles for their stations the lines between small market and medium market radio have been blurred. If you already have that medium market gig hang on to it because the next one might possibly have to be a step down.
 
there's also the allure of small market radio to fill the needs of the family. Not everyone who works in radio does so to just pick up and move when a new job is available. for instance, NOBODY moves to Cape Cod to take on a full-time gig, unless they want to improve on their quality of life. It just doesnt pay as well as even a medium market would. Same goes for any other small market gig. Obviously if we want to make some cash we have to work in a market with no more than two-digits, but if the needs are different, like putting your family through a decent school system, then there's nothing wrong with taking your larger market radio experience and putting it to work in that small market. It's actually kind of fun, and it sure beats the hell out of shucking clams for a living.

and not that there's anything wrong with that...........
