Re: You Were In Radio If...

Got this one back in 2005. Some are similar, but all are so true.

You were in radio before 1970 if you...

Remember Joe Pyne and "Mooo-tual News!"

Threw away the transcription disk players to put in Tapecaster cart
machines.

Worked at a campus radio station that used carrier current
transmission... on AM.

Managed to pass your "third phone" and took meter readings every thirty
minutes during your on-air shift... or at least faked them.

Think Wolfman Jack or Clint Eastwood in "Play Misty for Me" is the
greatest jock of all time.

Can name the first record you played by Elvis or The Beatles.

Wouldn't put a song on the air if it had "damn" or "hell" in the lyrics.

Got your start in the biz doing anything that had to be done at a
daytime AM in Bum****, Egypt.

Bleeped out spots for Martini and Rossi vermouth during network
newscasts because the station was located in a "dry" county.

Had an opening and closing theme song for your show.

Know what Don Imus did before WFAN and CNBC.

Carried a rate card with only two prices... one for thirties, one for
sixties.

Got your first real job in radio on a classical music FM with a total
audience of six people.

Worked at a station where somebody who got fired loosened the bolts on
the tower guy wires.

Scratched up tracks on an LP or a "B" side with a screwdriver so your
jocks couldn't "accidentally" play them on the air.

Quoted ratings from Pulse and Hooper.

Stopped "spinnin' the hits" to join CBS News at the top of the hour.

Worked at a station where the weekend guy was always named Johnny
Holiday and the night jock was named Dan Dark so the jingles didn't have
to be changed when they ultimately got canned.

Got your on-air "chops" practicing in the production room after
midnight.

Brought records from home to play on your show.

Got "hot-lined" by the owner... or the owner's wife.

Ever tried to hoist your station banner to the top of the competitor's
tower.

Sent an aircheck to a prospective employer on reel-to-reel tape.

Had a show on the air that didn't fit the station's format at all... just
because some sponsor had been buying that slot for years.

Air-checked your show on the big Ampex in the production room.

Tried to look up your old on-air staff and found some of them selling
spots for the competition.


You were in radio before 1980 if you...

Ever had a client tell you that rock or country music would never make
it on FM... and had an owner or GM who agreed.

Did a promotion to give away FM car-radio converters.

Put a quarter on a tone arm so it wouldn't jump off a warped demo 45 you
just had to play... and it was the only copy the station got.

Could remember the intro time and the color of the record label on every
song you played... but couldn't recite any of the lyrics except the first
and last lines.

Know what PAMS were.

Ever sped up the turntable to get more songs in during an hour and to
make the competition sound "draggy."

Worked at a campus radio station that was on FM but ran less than ten
watts of power.

Started a 45 at 33 1/3 or vice versa... and didn't notice because you
were on the phone with a listener of the opposite sex.

Air-checked your show on a boombox beneath the console.

Ever interviewed an artist on the air who was too stoned to be coherent.

Wouldn't put a song on the air that had any of George Carlin's famous
words in it... but pretty much anything else went.

Know what Erica Farber did before Radio & Records.

Sent an aircheck to a prospective employer on a cassette swiped from the
sales office or newsroom.

Worked at a station that had a newsroom!

Can remember the first record you played by The Doors or Janis Joplin or
the Allman Brothers.

Got your start in the biz running preacher tapes on Sunday morning.

Think either Scott Shannon or that guy in the movie "FM" is the greatest
jock of all time.

Accidentally let a listener say something obscene on the air because you
didn't really have a delay.

Got your on-air "chops" doing a 3 AM-to-5:30 AM shift for minimum wage.

Worked at a station where somebody got fired and, on his way out, ran a
magnet up and down the commercial-cart rack.

Got "hot-lined" by the PD.

Had a customized jingle with your name in it.

Once pretended to (or maybe really did) smoke a joint on the air.

Got your first real job in radio... doing mid-days on an AM
easy-listening station with a total audience of six folks.

Took a trip to a "showcase" at record company expense and never actually
got around to hearing the label's act perform.

Worked the overnight shift and had to wake up the morning guy (who was
sleeping off a bender on the lobby couch) so he could do his show.

Arranged to meet people of the opposite sex that you talked to on the
request line, but some place where you could see them before they could
see you.

Did a remote with a mic amp and a pair of alligator clips connected to
the telephone mouthpiece.

Included the words "FM Stereo" as part of your legal ID.

Watched your music director put colored dots on each record shuck to
tell you which category they belonged in.

Never worked for a station that was not actually licensed to the city
where the studio was located.

Paid money for air checks of Don Imus, Don Steele, Cousin Brucie or
other big market jocks so you could emulate their style.

Assumed that syndication meant "King Biscuit Flower Hour" and "Earth
News."

Tried to look up your old on-air staff and found them working for an FM
station somewhere.


You were in radio before 1990 if you...

Had to re-dub a seven-minute song to cart because you forgot to run it
through the splice finder first.

Recorded spots on half-inch multi-track.

Ran an EBS test off cart and forgot to punch the tones button on the
unit in the rack.

Could take a job at the big rival station across town without being
afraid your old station would buy them next week.

Had a "jock shout" jingle with your name.

Quoted ratings from Birch.

Worked at a campus radio station that played music nobody in the frat
houses had ever heard of... but that was so-o-o-o cool to you and your
friends.

Know what Lee Abrams did before satellite radio.

Got "hot-lined" by the consultant... from poolside at his place in
Malibu.

Had your girlfriends/boyfriends aircheck your show at their places so
the processing would make your voice sound better.

Can remember the first record you played by George Strait or Madonna.

Never worked for a station that was actually licensed to the city where
the main studio was located.

Thought all records came from the label rep with cash or a small baggie
of controlled substance shoved inside the sleeve.

Think Tom Joyner, "The Greaseman," or Dr. Johnny Fever is the greatest
jock of all time.

Worked at a station where somebody who got fired put sugar in the gas
tank of the station van.

Made sure your music director did a music log on the computer every
day... but he sometimes forgot to leave the print-out in the control room
for the overnight guy.

Ever worked for a station that proudly proclaimed its format to be
"Soul," "Underground," "Countrypolitan," "Easy Listening," "Disco," or
"Hot Hits."

Got your on-air "chops" doing a weekend shift.

Got your first real job in radio... as promotion assistant, washing the
van, delivering registration boxes to sponsor locations, and sorting tee
shirts by size.

Ever had an FCC inspector walk in and tell you to turn the transmitter
off and then back on using the remote control.

Quoted ratings from Accuratings.

Thought "Clear Channel" was an AM frequency that had only one station in
the whole country licensed to it.

Try to look up your old on-air staff and find them doing talk radio
somewhere.


You were not in radio until AFTER 1990 if...

The only kind of "vinyl" you know about is the material covering the
walls in the sales lounge.

You think a 45 is some kind of new spot length the corporate guys want
you to start selling so they can get more units in a break.

Tape, turntables and cart machines, so far as you know, are only to be
found in the Museum of Broadcasting or non-rated Arbitron markets.

You ever airchecked your show from the station's Internet stream.

You tell people your morning show's live...and so what if it does come
from Charlotte, Dallas or LA?

You worked at a campus radio station that ran commercials and had a
sales staff.

You worked at a station where somebody who got fired re-formatted the
hard disk on the Audio Vault computer on his way out.

You can tell clients with a straight face that listeners are more than
happy to sit through twelve commercial units so they can be around for
"another long set of the best music from the 80s, 90s and today."

Your station has a "voice guy" from some other market, an exclusive
"promo rep," and almost as many sales "managers" as sales "people."

You know the names and alma maters of all the Mays family.

You instructed a prospective employer to download your aircheck from the
Internet as a WAV or MP3.

You know which investment firm handled your group's IPO.

You think Howard Stern is the greatest jock of all time.

You got "hot-lined" by the cluster manager or regional VP of
programming.

Your music director does a music log every day but never prints it...it
goes straight to the digital storage computer.

You got your on-air "chops" in the production room after midnight.

You can remember the first song you played by Eminem or Mariah Carey.

You stop by the station at night and there are six on-air studios...and
not a soul in the building but you.

You got your first real job in radio...as morning show "producer,"
dubbing laugh tracks, fetching coffee, and streaking the mayor's prayer
breakfast.

You try to locate your old on-air staff and find most of them are
selling cell phones from a kiosk in the mall.

 

[MsMusicRadio]

PAMS was a jingle company and Imus came from Cleveland.

 

[wking601]

Got a call to "fix the turntables". Found someone had bulk erased all of the styli.
Worked for a station that had its reverb monted in a rack outside of the studio. With all of the processing , you could hear conversations during pauses.
Worked for a station that had routed the mic pre-amp output as a side chain to the reverb. That was then mixed with the board output. The mix was sent to processing. You could get tremendous reverb by simply lowering the board output.

Rick King

 

[jmtillery]

There's much truth in this, having seen much of it first hand over the past 34-years in the business.

 

[DToTheJ]

If you met your wife on the request line, you might be in radio...

 

[Butters]

Wife or wives?

For engineers

If you hear a low rumble heterodyne at night on your AM while in the car, and wonder if the other signal is off freq, or yours.

If you hear images and do the arithmetic in your head to see what products must occur for this, and whether it's "in air ",
or in the radio, and whose signals could fit the image.

If you've ever had to break something else to fix (or even get to) the part you were really going to fix.

You drove almost to New York on Memorial Day weekend for years to listen to WABC Rewound or to Toledo to listen to the Big 8 reunion in 2002.

[firepoint525]

You drive through the drive-thru at McDonald's and have to turn down the radio because YOUR voice-track is playing right as you give your order!

You record Paul Harvey's "Rest of the Story" directly off the air from a competing station because the previous announcer didn't record it that day! True story! She told me that when she was in New York, they could record it off satellite at 3:00 p.m. Only problem was, we were in Clarksville, Tennessee, and that 3:00 p.m. reference that she made was to eastern time. There was no feed at 3:00 p.m. central time. I called a competing station that I knew was a Harvey affiliate, found out when they aired "Rest of the Story," and recorded it then. Fortunately, their airtime was about 15 minutes earlier than ours.
