Management: Execute simple principles, such as, lead by example, show enthusiasm, motivate with praise, on-going staff involvement, maintain a cohesive staff by specifying clear goals, stay organized with proper time-management, and delegation. I believe in weekly air-check sessions with my air personalities and daily meetings.
Music: Research it, play the hits, have a complete understanding of the product (music) and then deliver it.
Marketing: As with research, all types of advertising should be used to promote the station once a market study is complete. Station imaging is a top priority, and an on-going and daily effort to define "stationality" is a must. Constantly focus on hot zip diary returns over the past 6 books and you will WIN!
Morning Show: A Morning Show can make or break the radio station. My idea of a morning show: a team of 2, 3 or more people working together and off of each other's strengths and weaknesses. A morning show must be topical, local, informative, fun (not to be confused with funny), friendly, have "clean character" and tons of phones! The morning show team must be out in the public, and finally, must become well known in the market, creating water cooler talk everyday. A morning show must have a DICK, a DORK and a DEAR.
A Good Radio Station: Is one that understands and reflects the lifestyles of its target audience. And then delivers it 24/7. Strong and on-going community involvement is also the foundation of a good radio station.
Competition: I am not afraid to pit my station against another. If directly attacked, I focus on my game plan, fine-tune it and deliver. Don't change a thing. "Consistency" is a definite solution to winning.
I have gained considerable knowledge of FCC Rules and Regulations, Labor/Wage and Hour Regulations, people management, general business practices, music applications, formatics, sales & research techniques, and Arbitron applications. I pride myself being a successful motivator, delegator, cheerleader, planner and activator and have 28 + years experience with Selector and Music Master Music scheduling software. I have experience with most Digital editing software such as Pro Tools, Vegas, Sound Forge and Acid Pro and more. I am skilled on all Microsoft applications, including PowerPoint, Word, Access, and Excel. Desktop publishing includes Photoshop, Illustrator and most Adobe products. I am also very Internet savvy.
