I hope this isn't considered SPAM, it's more of an idea..
I have been doing country radio in the Carolinas for over a decade. I have worked for several of the state’s most historic and well-known stations: 97.5 WCOS in Columbia, 106.1 WRDU in Raleigh and the two-time radio station of the year in South Carolina, WCRE. I have voiced award winning ads for the US Army, Steak and Shake, and Schooldude.com. I am also a software engineer…
Being a software engineer, technology fascinates me. Remember 10 years ago when there was no Google, no IPods, no Wi-Fi, and no cell phone in every pocket? Now I want you to think about what things will be like 10 years from now. What will the expectations of your listeners be like? I predict that your listeners will expect powerful, local content 24 hours a day. HD radio, satellite radio and IPods will create that. Many local radio stations are having an increasingly difficult time finding the money to compete with technology. Now, as a programmer, you’re faced with a difficult decision. How do you go about competing with technology, maintain a local feel and not spend a ton of money doing it? The word LOCAL is key here…
I had a great idea last week on how to accomplish this. The answer is voice tracking. Obviously, there’s nothing new about that. Stations have been using voice trackers for years. However, I think that these voice trackers have been “ripping off” the listeners. How in the heck can someone sitting in a studio in California relate to a listener in Virginia? My idea is voice tracking with a supremely local feel. What if you had a cheap voice tracker that actually looked at the local newspapers, listened to you station on a regular basis and cared about the community? What if you had a voice tracker that took local phone calls? It can be done…
Again, I'm an engineer for a big software company full time but I wanted to test the waters to do voice tracking like this as a hobby. I am offering my services to a few very select stations that I think I can make a difference in. Paying me to voice track would be 20% of what you would pay a full time jock. I promise that I’ll maintain a local feel, take local calls and we can even work out a deal for me to attend select local events. It gives you a chance to compete with technology and not spend a fortune hiring. I care about the future of local radio and I want to help…
