Pickens' Plan Packs Q3 Radio Revenues
|
With all the paid-for chatter about politics and the economy, it was Texan oil man-turned-energy prognosticator T. Boone Pickens who made network radio look relatively healthy during the third quarter, according to figures calculated by TNS Media Intelligence and released Friday evening (Nov. 21) by the RAB. According to TNS, Pickens' desire to advertise his plan to jump-start and expand America's energy plan using all possible energy sources -- wind, solar, hydro and fossil fuels -- pumped $1.4 million into the network radio stream, outpacing Barack Obama's $1 million radio ad campaign.

Bill Crawford has exited afternoons at Coast Radio KCST/Florence, OR, a victim of those ever-spreading budget cuts. He'll continue doing weekends/fill-in at McKenzie River Country KKNU/Eugene, OR, but would love to speak with you about his next full-time gig: 541-997-1179, 541-515-5596 or bill_crawford@hotmail.com.
Leah Michaels departs nights on Qantum Top 40 WWXM (Mix 97.7)/Myrtle Beach, SC to go back to school and get her Master's in education. Michaels scored the gig in June thanks to Mix's American Idol-style "Hire Me Mix" contest, and runnerup/aspiring standup comic Sterling Hill, who apparently had been waiting in the wings for Michaels' educational aspirations to kick in, now gets the job.
