As noted, Dusty is taking some (well-deserved) time off from the extremely early wakeup call.
He's still doing his day job as Hamilton County auditor, and is working on updating the annual Christmas music marathon for 1480 also, which he also hosts.

For what it's worth:
I've been in contact with Dusty in the past couple of weeks. He's fine.

Isn't WDJO's voice tracking the best? I was quite certain that Dusty was live in AM Drive...until I saw him voice tracking the next day's show around noon. Glad I'm not the only one who thought he was actually there at 0 Dark Thirty! If voice tracking is the route stations choose to take, I wish they were all as adept at it as Rodger & company is...Tri-State Media said:As noted, Dusty is taking some (well-deserved) time off from the extremely early wakeup call.

PPM is just starting. Won't his hiatus kind of kill 1480's AM drive numbers?
Isn't Dusty the "drawing card"?
In radio...CONTENT is KING... Who carries the king's water is secondary as long as they don't spill it. Plus, any station not in the top 10-15 12+ isn't focused on selling #'s anyway.

Their voice tracking is great. I do know that one DJ comes in 2 or 3 days a week and tracks his show for the entire week. I had a demonstration once how it is done. Technology is great. Anybody can be anywhere and make it seem like they are somewhere else. It sure beats the days of cueing up 45's and hoping they started on cue.

All the regular music programming is VT.

I have said it a million times.
Theirs is the best. Well executed. I believe that Dusty was live when they launched. Then he started the tracking.
My question is that if its tracked, how much is this really taking out of Dusty's schedule?
I wonder if the old studio location downtown was near his office & he could stop by there on his lunch break & VT the show? Maybe this new studio location isn't as convenient...just a wild guess. I look forward to his return...the man's an institution.jry said:BobOnTheJob said:Isn't WDJO's voice tracking the best?

But if I recall didnt Dusty have his own studios at his place on the hill... I always remembered him doing his morning show when there was snow storm going on.. lol

Dusty was broadcasting live from from his house/home when WDJO lunched?

They have a music request show on WDJO. That show must be the only music show that isn't VT over WDJO.
How important is it to have live/local DJs taking music request on a 60s based oldies station?
I don't listen to WDJO much (lousy signal) but when I listened to WDJO 1160, every show I ever heard sounded voice tracked, including Dusty's morning show. You learn to pick out the clues. The 'average' listener probably doesn't notice, but to me, as soon as I detect a show is voice tracked, it loses the host-listener connection. A voice-tracked morning show is the worst of all. There's so much timely info going on, and the host is out of the loop, leaving it all to the dropped-in (live) elements. He can't comment on anything going on NOW.

Arbitorn said:Even the request shows are VTed. Instead of several hours ahead of time, they're 15-20 minutes ahead. It's just easier to do it that way than join up live. Also gives you the option of getting it right if it takes more than one try.
A perfectly good reason to voicetrack a few minutes ahead. That way, if you NEED two or three attempts to get something right, you can and still get it in in time.

He was said to be planning to return by Friday. This of course was back in November...
