How my understanding of radio programming has shaped my concept automation
This is a commentary I have been meaning to write for quite a while, but I’ve been pretty busy the last month, so haven’t done it yet. Over the years, I’ve been playing with the concept of developing my own radio automation system. This concept has evolved over the years. How it has done so…

WPST July 15, 2015
It’s another new market to the site this week, the second one in about a month. This time, we’re traveling to Trenton, NJ where we hear their longtime CHR, WPST. This was recorded during the station’s night show on July 15, 2015. I wanted an aircheck with normal daytime pacing as well, so that’s why…

KMGE June 19, 2014
As I said a couple weeks ago, I wanted a longer aircheck of KMGE, and this one is just that, though it’s not as long as I wanted it to be. This runs about 48 minutes unscoped, the other two are about 30 minutes. The station sounds pretty much as it does in the first…

Radio’s Jock Breaks
A recent commentary by industry writer Shawn Ross has me thinking about my own opinions about how much DJs should talk. Ross has talked about the content of these breaks more often than how many exist, and in listening to the national programming services, I hear a lot of the stuff he is so against.…

KMGE January 14, 2014
If I remember things correctly now, I listened to KMGE for about an hour before I actually recorded the aircheck we heard last week, but I wanted a longer aircheck of the station, as I hadn’t remembered how long I had listened to the station before actually making the recording. When I found that the…

KMGE May 9, 2013
Unfortunately, my recorder decided to misbehave, so I did not get the recording of KSWD’s new identity as Emma 94.1. At the very least, I will get an aircheck of that station at some point and post it here next time I get to posting airchecks of the 94.1 frequency. In the meantime, we’re in…

Same frequency, different station
With the exception of last week when we took a brief trip to Omaha, we’ve been listening to the 94.1 frequency from Seattle for the last month or more, mostly as country KMPS. When Entercom bought the former CBS Radio stations, they shocked the entire industry by blowing up that station, flipping it to Soft…

E-Skip brings in out of market station
Thanks to an E-Skip opening, we hear a brief aircheck of Omaha’s KQCH, Channel 94.1 from May 9, 2013. This was recorded from the Global Tuners radio in Eugene, Oregon. Unless I find myself in Omaha in the next four years or so, this is probably the only thing you’ll ever hear on this site…

KMPS October 13, 2016
This is the last of our KMPS airchecks, and this is one I wasn’t even planning to scope, but it originally started so close to how I usually start my airchecks that I figured I would share it anyway. I have more recordings of KMPS available, but wasn’t planning on sharing them. I need to…

KMPS November 11, 2016
Today, it’s the second to last installment of KMPS, this time from Veterans Day 2015. Because it’s Veterans Day, and country stations do a lot with patriotism in general, there are definitely acknowledgements of the day that it is, as well as the normal music. This is still in the stations 90s to now phase,…
