Promotions: Jingle Bell Walk
Playing the right holiday music is just one challenge for Country PDs this time of year (CAW 10/14). There’s also the small matter of listening habits shifting as some P1s seek out even more Christmas music. Big promotions can be stabilizing in a window some view as a ratings throwaway. Country Aircheck asked around about favorite holiday promotions and their impact. The tried and true mall Wish Tree concept received a makeover in Terre Haute, IN, where listeners could visit any of the Midwest cluster’s station websites to register a wish. OM Steve Cannon and team enlisted Snowball’s Chance: Arizona kids enjoy snow, courtesy of KIIM/Tucson. sponsor and community participation in granting wishes for 300 area kids. Executed across all five Midwest/Terre Haute stations – including Country WTHI – each was able to add their own brand-centric promotional stamp. Hot AC WMGI’s morning show emcees the event, but Cannon says it still has value for the group and beyond. Now in its third year, the Wish Tree has gone from a simple radio promotion to “something that involves the whole community,” he says. Casey Carter at WTQR/Greensboro gave the game Concentration a holiday theme to drive listenership and website traffic. “Our site had a big Christmas tree with numbered ornaments on it,” she says. “Contestants got to pick two ornaments and if the same prize was under each, the listener would win that prize. They had to go to the website to play.” (continued on page 7)

On Founding Foundry
Launched in September (CAT 9/30), Foundry Records is a boutique label with plans to be much more. The company’s triple threat management team is aiming at a 2020 rollout for flagship artist Shenandoah and new singer-songwriter Austin Merrill. GM Cole Johnstone manages both acts, though that won’t be a requirement for future signings. His management background with Dale Morris & Associates and Oswald

Entertainment before forming his own company gave him experience with labels on a spectrum running from artist-owned to majors. “The natural next step was to put together the right people in the right positions,” he says with a nod to A&R chief and noted producer Mark Bright (Carrie Underwood) and VP/Marketing & Promotion April Rider. “April with her rock star marketing and promotion background, Mark with his A&R and producing expertise – it was a three-headed monster that looked like the base of something we really had to explore.” Bright is producing albums on both artists for release next year, though he will continue to work with outside projects. “With Shenandoah, Marty Raybon is one of the best singers ever in our format,” he says. “We’re not reinventing the ‘90s, just updating with songs that have real depth. The other aspect is echoing those classic Shenandoah singles we all know and love with an updated sound. It’s a new song, but the moment you hear it, you know it’s Shenandoah. Instant recognition.” As for Merrill, “There’s a Jim Croce to almost a Guy Clark-esque approach to his writing,” Bright says. “He’s not like anybody else, but it’s absolutely in the country sphere and radio ready. It won’t be about sampling, just straight, beautiful, clean songwriting on cool topics.” Foundry has already secured ADA Distribution, but launch plans for both artists are still being formulated. “Getting the music right is first,” Rider says. “Meanwhile, we’re working on branding and putting plans together. Austin is an amazing singersongwriter, an Army vet and the focus right now is music. After that, it’s developing the branding, marketing and eventually major market radio. Shenandoah is working on their first all-new album in more than 20 years and, of course, they’ve got a fan base and are actively making the rounds and touring. They’ll be out and about during awards week, for instance.” Growing the company and its capabilities is part of the plan.

“We’ll remain as a boutique for now, making sure we give full attention to this music and these artists as long as it takes to get it right,” Johnstone says. “Opportunity doesn’t grow on trees, it has to be cultivated. Each project and each artist is specific to their own path, and we don’t have boundaries on how we help them reach their goals.” As that happens, Foundry will adapt and grow. “The plan is to build a fully-staffed, self sufficient label with a full promotion and marketing staff,” he adds. “That is one of the main tools we intend to have for our artists. It’s a big part of how and why this all came together.” Reach him here and Rider here. –Chuck Aly

MY TUNES: Caylee Hammack Capitol’s Caylee Hammack discusses her most influential music: 1.David Bowie: I found Bowie in my teenage years and experienced an eye-opening freedom in my own music when I found his. The stories he told through songs, his eccentricyet-identifiable stamp of sonic identity and his ability to make unique art up to his last few Caylee days warranted the love of the world. It showed Hammack me that true art seems to lie right outside the limitations of normalcy. 2. Dolly Parton: She encapsulates everything I wish to be. Successful businesswoman, songwriter, actress and more, all wrapped up in a pretty face and an iconic voice. She’s a woman who has worked hard for everything she’s got and forged a path all of her own. 3. Rain Dogs: The first vinyl I ever wore out on my old record player. It was my introduction into the mind of Tom Waits, where dark poetry mixes with a drunk piano to create a sonic realm all its own. 4. Johnny Cash: I heard it once said that Johnny Cash had an uncommon way of telling the common man’s story, and I couldn’t agree more. His baritone voice and sense of storytelling drew me in at a young age and still hasn’t let go. 5. Loretta Lynn: At age 13, I sat on the edge of my seat and watched this woman own a room from sitting atop her blue throne chair onstage. She pulled in every person listening and made us feel like family in a crowd of strangers when she spoke to us. I haven’t watched A Star Is Born yet. I know I’m awful, but it’s a special movie in my opinion, and I’m waiting for the perfect place and time to watch it. I want to feel all the feels and really dive in. I listened to Kacey Musgraves’ Same Trailer Different Park incessantly. It came out right as I was ending my relationship back home and starting my move to Nashville. I listened to the whole record, over and over again, while driving north to Nashville. I cried over so many miles while listening to that record. Caitlyn Smith just released a new song, “Put Me Back Together,” and I have been obsessed since it came out. It feels like my favorite warm sweater I lost during first semester of college. I sometimes find these fun little songs on TikTok that go viral, and I like to look them up and add them to my playlist when I can’t get them out of my head. It’s how I found “Old Town Road” for the first time.

OFF THE RECORD: Stephanie Quayle Rebel Engine’s Stephanie Quayle puts an industry spin on the artist interview: I grew up listening to KXLB in my hometown of Bozeman, MT and an AM radio station — I don’t recall the call letters. We would listen on this little silver radio that sat on the window sill in our horse barn. The first time I heard myself on the radio Stephanie was “Drinking With Dolly” in my hometown. I Quayle had no idea that morning how this song would change everything. All I knew was that I was sharing my greatest love with the town that built me. One of my best memories of radio tour was at a station listener show. One of the guys in the front row broke out the “Flock of Quayle” hand signal before I started to perform…it was everything. My road family is fierce. They make my world go round. I wish my doggie was a better road companion, but unfortunately he’s like a gremlin, and you never know which furball is gonna show up. I wish I could have dinner with my grandpa Quayle. I never got to meet him, but he was a geophysicist and worked for Howard Hughes. I’m sure his stories would inspire songs, no question! My new album, If I Was A Cowboy, can be described as throw your suitcase in the back of the truck bed, put your cowboy hat on, roll the windows down and just drive. Meet me off of 89 on the way to Yellowstone, and let’s ride... horses, that is. I wish I had written Miranda Lambert’s “The House That Built Me.” It’s individual and universal in the same breath. That’s what I strive for with every song I write. My road essentials are headphones, external battery pack, oversized scarf and sunglasses, guitar, phone, boots and wranglers. I always leave ready for anything, from a show to “Hey I got a horse, wanna ride?” My least favorite interview question is, “Did you know you’re a woman in country music?” Every time. If I had to be stuck somewhere, I’d take my boots to NYC. It’s fast pace makes me slow down. I’d have a slice, people watch and fill my notebook with potential songs. It would be about this time of year when the wind makes the leaves dance. I’m currently binging The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Yellowstone, which is set in Montana. The scenery makes me feel right at home.

Promotions: Jingle Bell Walk (continued from page 1) Sponsorships were relatively easy to sell. “If you have good AEs with strong accounts, they can probably get some prizes if they start now,” she says. Not just anyone can bring snow to the desert, but that’s what Buzz Jackson and the team at KIIM/Tucson did. The station teamed with a local mall, hired a snow making company and created a giant field of snow under the desert skies. “It was just awesome to watch these kids, most of whom had never seen snow before, get to play in it for hours,” Jackson says. The station made money through sponsorships; the mall covered the snow making costs. WPCV/Lakeland, FL also used snow to make it rain. PD Mike James says their annual fall giveaway of a Ford F-150 Supercab turned into a community-wide celebration after the dealer decided to go big. “They took all of the cars off their lot and brought in a snowmaking machine that created 60 tons of snow,” he says. “We had a free breakfast with Santa, three Polar Express mini-trains and other stuff for the kids. When we did the truck giveaway, instead of just drawing for a winner, we turned it into a White Elephant Drawing. All 20 finalists got a prize bag with a nice gift and a key inside. The finalists could trade for the gift of another qualifier, White Elephant style, but they all wound

up with some cool prizes. One of those keys ultimately unlocked the door to the truck.” Some stations take a more irreverent route to standing out amid the holiday hustle and bustle. WYRK/Buffalo PD Chris Crowley remembers a late-’90s holiday stunt from his time at News-Talk KUGN/Eugene, OR called the Tree Pee. Qualifiers brought their dogs to a live broadcast at a Christmas tree lot. If the (presumably male) dog chose to ... ahem ... relieve himself on one of the trees, the “lucky” winner got to take that soggy tree home for free. “For what it’s worth, the guy at the tree farm did wash off the trees before listeners took them home,” Crowley says.
Merch And Nice: The KRTY store.
Nice. Crowley speculates that this holiday stunt would take on a whole new life in these days of instant video and social media. At KRTY/San Jose, GM Nate Deaton says their best holiday promotion was a market manager’s dream come true: The station operated its own store to sell station merch for

holiday gift giving. “We opened a week before Thanksgiving and broadcast live from the store every night and weekend,” Deaton says. “It evolved to the point where we were doing about $50,000 in merchandise sales each year, netting between $15,000 and $20,000. It was all done in trade with the mall so we didn’t even pay rent. By far the greatest thing we’ve ever done.” Sadly, decline in mall foot traffic brought the promotion to an end. Newly minted KNCI/Sacramento PD Joey Tack has fond memories of a promotion he created during his run at Rhythmic WKHT/Knoxville. “We wanted to tap into the ‘pay it forward’ idea of doing something nice for someone else,” he says. “We landed on a promotion called Play It Forward. Five or six times a day, listeners could win a prize from a sponsor and qualify for that day’s grand prize. Each grand prize was tied to an artist. It might be a flyaway or one of the hot gift items for that year. Once you qualified for that grand prize, you would give us a name of someone you wanted to Play It Forward to and that person had a chance to win the same grand prize. If that person who qualified heard us call their name at 5pm, not only would they win the grand prize but their friend would also win. It had this sense of doing something nice for someone and was fun to figure out how to execute.” Listener and client response was strong enough that WKHT repeated the promotion for five consecutive holiday seasons. Scrooge may assert that the holidays are a ratings washout, so why bother? “If you’re in a diary market, you bother,” Carter says. “You still want to give them a compelling reason to keep listening.” Jackson adds, “You can’t write off an entire month. That’s crazy! Memorable promotions help you stay top of mind.” And Tack summarizes, “The listeners that matter to us in the fall book are still listening in the winter, so why would we ever present anything less than a stellar product? That’s regardless of what the agencies may think of the ratings period.” –Scott Ward Lon Helton, lon@countryaircheck.com Chuck Aly, chuck@countryaircheck.com Caitlin DeForest, caitlin@countryaircheck.com Monta Vaden, monta@countryaircheck.com (615) 320-1450
