Syndicated shows?

G

gunterm

As an internet station it seems hard to find good shows, I'm currently running the following:

- Jimmy Jay's Rewind
- The Wayback Machine
- Legends of rock and roll with Chris Edwards White

Used to have Kurt David, but he appearantly had trouble getting sponsors for the 60s & 70s shows so now I only get specials for these.

Shows I've wanted to pursue are Dick Bartley and Mike Harvey, is it feasible to get them to even talk to me, and then how much does it cost?

Has anyone else tried this on the internet yet?
 
I seriously doubt a sydnicated oldies program would stream on an interet-only station on a huge scale,though there are rare exceptions.

Rock-It Radio runs the first hour of Cool Bobby B's Doo-Wop Stop while Flaming Oldies runs the entire three hour program

Little Walter's Time Machine is heard in its three hour entirety late at night and earlier on Saturday evenings at:

(scroll down and click on "Real Oldies" (ch 505)

Glenn Sauter's Hits of Yesteryear also streams online at:

Oldies Coast to Coast up to this point (I think)refuses to air on oldies stations which stream.

Not sure about the rest of the shows that you mentioned, but if You have someone who knows the business and has great pipes, you can do much better than Bart Dickley's oldies show...yeah I know about his following but it's nothing special, extremely overrated, and you could do better on your own...good luck ;D

is Mike Harvey even still around?

Its been ahwile since I could get supergold.net and even when it was working we are talking lots of broken links.

A friend of mine used to work at a station that carried both his weekend and daily shows. When Harvey launched his weekday show, never forget the promotional stuff that came with it to get the stations to hook up "..chances are the 7-Midnight jock you have is garbage, get Mike Harvey instead !!" WTF??? Also the promotional stuff claimed that Supergold ranked number one in most of the markets it aired, of course Supergold didn't mention the names of those markets.

After reading some of this stuff and what was left of his website not to mention the selection of music on his shows ( Van Halen..on Supergold I remember hearing last year ) I got the feeling that Harvey and Supergold were desperate to make a buck.

Far cry from what was once a great show.

I do voicetrack mornings on my station now, because I work at that time otherwise I'd do it live :D

I figure that I'm pretty boring though, I have some show prep like Oldies birthdays and events and such, usually use them to segue into a hit by that artist/group...

The show is a shell of itself.
There's no excitement.
Mike Harvey rarely even talks. It's song after song.

I happened to catch MIKE HARVEY (he doesn't even call his Sat. night show Supergold anymore) Saturday night.
I'm not kidding. Guess what song he opened the 8 p.m. ET hour with?
Ring My Bell. That disco song by Anita Ward.
Yuck.

Mike hardly even mentions the artists or songs anymore. And if you can put up with the constant commercial breaks (I think he plays 2 songs before going to a spot), it sounds more like an automated show, that is, when there's no drop-out or dead air. The song fade-ins were pretty sloppy, too.

I thought Mike's show was 70s-based. While he plays 70s, it seems to be more of a late 70s and early 80s type of show.

The man doesn't know oldies anymore.
 
I only take one from Kurt David (the 80's fit my format), but with many of the others that have been offered to me over time, most aren't even DMCA compliant (i.e. four in a row from an artist, or 8 songs from an artist in two hours etc.).

The other reason why I don't take too many syndicated on the net are it's a pain to handle the reporting of the tracks to whomever handles your licensing imho!

However that said, I do have an oldies show with a specific niche in development (read "when I get time") :)

The night my friend's station aired its last "Supergold" Mike played...

Boy Meets Girl..Waiting For A Star to Fall
Suzanne Vega...Luka
and Jump by Van Halen

you're right..he doesn't know oldies anymore.

But what still gets me and others on his staff was that advertisment Harvey's company ( or maybe it was Harvey himself ) put out trying to recruit stations to pick up his then-new daily Supergold show. He brought up how his show was "a step better" than voice tracking but then again isn't Harvey's show voiced tracked to some degree? And the part about calling most 7-midnighter's "garbage". Of course there are many 7-midnight jocks out there who may not exactly set the world on fire but thats for a PD and listners to decide if thats the case or not, not Mike Harvey.
 
Yeah I ran Mike harvey for a few weeks and just got fed up with it (plus they wanted a buttload of money to keep running it so SCREW that).
