Ratings: Country Radio Is On Fire
This week’s ratings have a decidedly positive spin...
depending on your perspective. A succession of Regent
successes has secessionist historian Bob Moody not so blue,
Country’s Appalachian appeal is driving huge numbers on
the Tennessee-Virginia border, and the cards are turning up
aces in Atlantic City. But first to the Seattle battle, where
KKWF is giving KMPS a run for its Starbucks.
Sleepless In Seattle: An amazing battle is developing
between heritage KMPS and KKWF (The Wolf). Since
debuting in Dec. 2005, the Wolf has posted 12+ shares (Wi’
06 to Fa ‘06) of 3.4, 3.8, 3.5 and 3.7. Over that same span,
KMPS has gone 5.4, 4.9, 5.4 and 3.7. Looking behind the
numbers, Wolf architect Scott Mahalick notes KKWF
actually beats KMPS in TSL in the fall. He told Country
Aircheck, “In the original strategic plan for the creation of
the Wolf, the first benchmark goal was to achieve ratings
parity with KMPS in Adults 25-54 by Fall 2006. We’ve
exceeded that goal.” Indeed, Mahalick says that the Wolf
edged KMPS 4.0 to 3.8, 25-54. The two stations are tied
for fourth 12+. You can bet this battle is far from done.

Rector Helms Columbia Promotion
As reported in a Breaking News email this morning
(1/29), Raybaw Records promotion head Jimmy Rector
has been hired as VP/National Promotion for Columbia/
Nashville, filling the slot left vacant with last week’s
exit of Larry Pareigis. The move from Warner Bros.’
MuzikMafia imprint returns Rector to the Sony BMG
January 29, 2007
family, where he worked for nearly seven years rising to
Southeast regional for BNA prior to leaving for Raybaw last
April. Reporting to Exec. VP Butch Waugh, Rector starts
Feb. 1. According to Rector, the Raybaw board of directors
is not expected to fill the position in the short term.
WDAF Debuts Newest Howlers
WDAF/Kansas City has begun to slowly deploy an
airstaff as it continues its transformation into Entercom’s latest
Wolf. The Wilhite & Wall morning show is now known as
“Wake-Up with the Wolf, with Darren, Tim and Codie.” That
would be Darren Wilhite, Tim Wall and recent addition
Codie Allen, who had been Shotgun Jackson’s PM drive
sidekick at crosstown KBEQ. Laurie Arbore made her
daytime debut today and will hold down Noon-6pm until
Shotgun is done sitting out a non-compete and can join the
Wolf for afternoons. Arbore has been doing nights for WDAF
for the last six months.
Olsen To Show Dog
Sony BMG Associate Director/Sales & Research
P.J. Olsen has joined Show Dog Nashville as Director/
Research & Information Systems, effective today (1/29).
Olsen’s background includes stops at Premiere Radio
Networks/Mediabase, Hollywood Records, MCA/Decca,
Curb, WLOL/Minneapolis and KEGL/Dallas.
A&O Still Want You
Last week we detailed the agenda for the upcoming
Albright & O’Malley Pre-CRS Seminar. A couple things have
changed since then, plus we wanted to tell you how to sign-up.
The day gets underway at 7:15am with a Continental

Breakfast sponsored by Country Aircheck. I’ll be there
(those who know me can stop laughing now) to welcome
you and detail the “All For The Hall” Country Radio
Challenge, which seeks radio’s support of the Country
Music Hall Of Fame and Museum. The first session with
Arbitron’s Gary Marince now begins at 7:30am in order
to be done by the time the first official CRS event kicksoff. The rest of the agenda remains as outlined last week
-- the start-times are just bumped up a hair. And, instead of
new Lyric Street artist Marcel closing the proceedings, the
label’s Bucky Covington will do the honors.
If you’d like to join us, please contact Michael O’Malley
at 732 937-5757, mike@radioconsult.com or Jaye Albright at
206 498-6261, jaye@radioconsult.com for an invite.
Promotion of the Week: KYGO
CMA Award winning KYGO/Denver morning cohosts Kelly Ford and Mudflap have invited listeners to
help them show soldiers and their families that KYGO
and the Mile High City have a “Big Heart.” The duo are
gathering the faithful on Valentine’s Day at Invesco Field,
home of the Denver Broncos, for a massive “Human
Valentine” that will be distributed via the internet.
Listeners will line the field between the 25-yard lines and
across the entire field, forming a heart-shaped American
Flag. 903 Music artist Darryl Worley, a Bronco and a
number of local celebs will be on hand for the festivities as
they send a message of love and support to US troops all
over the world. No word on whether any US Senators will
be joining in this non-binding show of support.
Radio News
Racing: WYGY/Cincinnati is adding NASCAR to its
lineup, including Nextel Cup, Busch Series and Craftsman

Chronicle
Our thoughts and prayers are with singer/songwriter
Jeffrey Steele and wife Stephanie following the tragic
accident that took the life of their 13-year old son, Alex
LeVasseur. Alex was killed on Sunday when he was
thrown from the four-wheeler he was driving while with
a group of friends. Jeffrey and Stephanie have three
daughters: Jessie, 24; Casey, 22; and, Justine, 15. The
family has asked for privacy during this most difficult
of times. Letters and cards may be sent to PO Box 214,
Franklin, TN, 37065.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be
made to The Alex LeVasseur Fund at The Community
Foundation of Middle Tennessee, PO Box 440225,
Nashville, TN 37244. We’re also deeply saddened to report the death of
veteran programmer Kevin O’Neal. His body was found
Saturday night in a Nashville hotel room. O’Neal had
returned to Nashville from North Carolina a couple of
weeks ago. He was suffering from congestive heart failure.
An autopsy is planned. O’Neal was PD of WPAP/Panama
City, WRNS/Greenville-New Bern, NC, WSM-AM & FM/
Nashville (two stints at WSM-FM), WSOC/Charlotte and

LA took over the top Country ranking in that city (Moody
celebrated with Po’ Boys) and was No. 2 25-54; WGNA/
Albany was No. 1 12+ and WFRG/Utica was on top in
both 12+ and 25-54; and, WFRG/Watertown, NY posted a
23.3 12+ and 21.4 25-54 and was No. 1 in both.
>Country’s Holy Trinity: WXBQ/Johnson CityKingsport-Bristol, TN-VA tacked on 3.9 shares to
its already robust 20.0 showing in the Summer ‘06
Arbitron. OM Bill Hagy reports that WXBQ’s first place
23.9 marks the 49th consecutive -- yes 49th -- and yes,
consecutive -- book that WXBQ has been No.1. Is that
a record? Amazingly, no. If my math is right, WUSY/
Chattanooga’s Fall 2006 ARB of 17.8 (12+) marks its
67th consecutive No.1 book. WIVK/Knoxville was also
No. 1 12+ once again, with a 23.5. We’re not sure how
many consecutive books they’ve been No. 1, but I’m
sure OM Mike Hammond will let us know by this time
tomorrow. We’ll let you know next week.
>Even Trump Takes Notice: WPUR/Atlantic City PD
Joe Kelly and staff are still partying following their stellar
fall book. Kelly reports No. 1 rankings “across the board:
12+, P25-54 and even Men 25-54,” he says. “All day and
mornings --both tops. Can’t get better than that.” WPUR’s
ascendancy to No. 1 has capped a three-book run that has
seen the Millenium Radio Group outlet rocket 5.8-8.3-9.5.

A baker’s dozen of Country outlets lead this week’s batch of Fall 2006 Arbitrons with shares good enough to place them first, 12+
in their respective cities. Leading the way with a leap of almost four shares is WXBQ/Johnson City-Kingsport-Bristol, TN-VA. Among the
stations that increased by one or more shares are WGNA/Albany, WWNQ/Columbia, SC, WYOK/Mobile and WBBS/Syracuse. Each week
we’ll update Country radio ratings from around the USA in the Country Aircheck Music Edition. A “+” indicates a Classic Country
outlet, a “^” designates Country stations in the same market owned by a single operator and an “*” indicates a tie.
