I never saw an industry such as radio work so hard to become so irrelevant to most of us..

How about a completely automated station. No jocks. No sales people. No admin. Just a lone engineer (probably on contract) and the OM. Everything automated. Perfect!

Just what Salt Lake was starved for…..ANOTHER COUNTRY STATION!! That makes at least 4 FM’s plus a couple AM country stations that don’t show up in the Arbitrons like KSOP-AM and KTMI.
Country doesn’t strike me as being the hot format it was during the hay day (get it…..HAY day) of Garth Brooks and Achy Breaky Heart, but gee……
Jockless overnights in markets like Boise is one theing, but having jockless stations in major markets is more proof that radio is going down the crapper.

No jocks? Well…. if you can’t manage people. Computers are wonderful things. Point, click and you’re done provided nothing goes ….wrong….wrong…..wrong.

I remember a Twilight Zone episode where a manager replaces all his employees with computers because they don’t sleep, don’t make demands and work 24 hours a day. The payoff at the end of the episode is the manager himself is replaced by a computer.

Anyone out there working on a computer to replace OM’s?

It’s crazy. KJMY has remotes (“My 99-5″) – I think it is garbage personally. I don’t understand the ‘here, let’s throw some random people out on location that no one knows and then talk them up on air with liners and/or live break ins.’ Bleh.

So funny…the PD of that station in Salt Lake is o-u-t after like 2 weeks. Wonder if Jeff’s “wonderful personality” got to Jim the former PD.

One of the industry rags says that the job is pd and producer…no jocks. oh boy…how exciting is that. Hope that the sales staff does not sell a remote!! ha ha ha
