Same DJ On Multiple Markets

Which worked pretty well most of the time. Local stations just needed to keep their assets fresh and pay attention to the announcer schedule updates from the network.

With modern tech, I don't think I could tell that iHeart stations were running separate branding from the topical jock break unless I knew that a particular DJ was not local.

when i ran a station that programmed america’s best music, we used one of their air talent for everything. the stabs onto breaks, out of breaks, return/re join liners, in between song imaging, legal ids and general imaging.

made it so much easier to set up the network

the network PD at the time said it was the smoothest launch of the format he’d ever heard because we ran it off Erin studio for a week before we put it on the air to catch all the bugs and we caught several

and we got a letter, maybe 69 months into that switch from a listener who said they really appreciated all the big name talented talent that the owner hired for little old St. Mary’s Pennsylvania
 
I've seen several instances with a couple local groups where the DJ running morning drive on one station is doing afternoon somewhere else in the group. Country in the morning, oldies in the afternoon.

One local that is 100% syndicated has very sloppy tracking; common to hear the DJ say you just heard "some Merle and a Waylon classic" after actually playing Barbara Mandrell and George Strait.

Its gotta be more common than what we are thinking of. But then again if there's multiple stations that person is doing its gotta be from voicetracking from the Iheart office, Audacy or Cumulus/Westwood offices. Yes I mean the most famous example Ryan Seacrest would do the show in Los Angeles for KIIS and Iheart stations around the country. He even did his Iheart show from inside the back room of Live with Kelly show when he was doing that show on TV. Sometimes his Iheart show and American Top 40 show is on location where American idol auditions were taking place at one point.

Remember that the Seacrest show is made up of “bits and pieces“ and assembled for broadcast. Seacrest is not sitting in a studio waiting for songs to end in order to say something. Those “bits“ are put together sometimes several days ahead of broadcast or sometimes the same day as broadcast. This permits each station that carries the show to assemble it in a way appropriate for their market, format, and commercial load.
