More Than A Feline: WYCT At 20

January was a busy month for Hoxeng Trust WYCT/Pensacola OM Kevin King and PD Brent Lane. As the station marked its 20th anniversary, the duo organized a reunion of past personalities and consultants, plus they attended city council and county commission meetings to accept commendations for the station’s years of public service. “Dave and Mary Hoxeng had the license for years before it signed on,” explains King, who was the station’s first PD. But securing a license and building a station from scratch takes time. WYCT finally hit the air in November 2003, stunting as “Christmas Radio” until Dec. 26, 2003, when “Cat Country” was finally born. “It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years,” he says. “We knew what we wanted to make out of it, and we still work hard at it every day.” Kevin King The station faced typical growing pains during its first months, but everything changed Sept. 16, 2004, when Pensacola took a direct hit from category three Hurricane Ivan. “It was devastating,” recalls King. “With diesel and the grace of God, we were the only radio or TV station to stay on the air and turned into a total community outlet. That was definitely a turning point.” “The station went from zero listeners on a brand-new frequency to the only place on the dial where you could find out where to get Brent Lane water,” says Lane, who started at WYCT soon after Ivan’s impact. “Our annual Christmas Parade was the first station event I went to. Nobody knew who I was, but a woman walked up to me with tears in her eyes and thanked me for what we did during Ivan. That set my expectations for this radio station.” “It’s not lip service,” adds King. “You can hire people to do jobs, but you can’t hire a heart of service ... someone has to have that. We tell people this is a difficult job. That being said, if you want to really be a broadcaster and feel good about doing service this is a great place to work.” The common thread of service was shown again Dec. 6, 2019. “There was an active shooter on base at Naval Air (continued on page 9)

Munsick Spotlights Native Cowboys Despite being the companion to his sophomore album, Ian Munsick’s voice is heard very little in White Buffalo: Voices of the West outside of the music threaded throughout the hour-long documentary. A conscious decision on the part of the Wyoming native who, along with wife/ manager/Exec. Producer Caroline Munsick and Director Cam Mackey, sought to focus on the culture and people who helped shape his sound. Inspired by the sacred symbol of the white buffalo, the trio allowed the stories to dictate the direction of the documentary with a simple strategy: listening.

through the ranch is how I approach being a producer, engineer, player, writer, an artist,” he says. Just as ranchers respect the ebbs and flows of the land, the Munsicks can weather the highs and lows of the music industry. “When you put out an album, you’re harvesting,” he says. “In the wintertime, you’re going on tour and hoping the album and rehearsals and all that time you spent preparing, harvesting, will pay off when you hit the road.” Ian has had one goal, one creed, since moving to Nashville: bring the west to the rest. While Caroline is his white buffalo, he cites Wyoming, its land and people, as “the artistic fuel that will never stop inspiring.” White Buffalo: Voices of the West is available on Apple iTunes, Apple, Google Play, Kanopy (Libraries), Microsoft, Vudu, YouTube Rentals and Amazon TVOD. –Caitlin DeForest

Remembering Tom Moran “I’ve always wanted to do some type of piece — whether it was a documentary on Ian or something else — letting Nashville know about this culture, the real culture, while sharing stories of Native Americans,” says Caroline. The documentary centers on three individuals: Pro Buckin’ Horse producer and entrepreneur from the Blackfoot Tribe Dougie Hall; rancher, horse trainer and actor from the Crow Tribe Stephen Yellowtail; and cowgirl from the Blackfeet Nation Sammy Jo Bird. If they look familiar, it’s because they also starred in the “White Buffalo” music video. Caroline explains, “While we were doing the music video, I was like, ‘Well, this is our documentary.’ We just expanded on that.” Exploring the connection between Munsick’s music, his homeland and Native American culture, as well as the often overlooked history of Native American cowboys and ranchers, the documentary passed the microphone to people who are rarely given the opportunity to be heard. “Part of why we chose those three to tell stories about is because they are cowboys,” stresses Munsick. At a time when cowboy cosplay is becoming more and more trendy (just look at Pharrell Williams’ western-inspired Louis Vuitton show), Munsick knew it was important to tell the stories from “actual cowboys who just happen to be Native Americans.” The juxtaposition of the increasingly visible cowboy-inspired trends and the disappearance of Native American and cowboy culture isn’t lost on Munsick. “There’s no glam, and it’s all sweat,” he says. “The trendiness and flashiness helps in terms of awareness, but it’s not going to positively help the actual cowboys and ranchers out there that are still living that life.” The self-sufficiency and resourcefulness needed for the cowboy and rancher lifestyle highlighted in White Buffalo is something Munsick has applied to all aspects of his career in music. “The work ethic I learned

Record industry vets John Grady and Kevin Carroll remember their friend and colleague Tom Moran (Chronicle 2/5). In My Dreams: “’Hey, Kev ... Moran here.’ I’ve been receiving that message on various answering devices for the majority of my life,” Carroll says. “To have Tom Moran as a friend was truly a commitment. A commitment to honesty, humor and fierce intelligence. He personified all three. Our time in Chicago consisted of sharing Bulls tickets, White Sox games, family outings, a love for all kinds of music (his season tickets to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra were a prize possession) and arguments over the Bears. He was still convinced that next year would be their year. “Many don’t know that Country music Tom Moran should thank Don Dokken for Tom’s Nashville passion. After working a Dokken show in Peoria, he decided that if he was continuing in the business the music needed to be quieter and melodic. So off to Nashville he went. “To say that they broke the mold on Tom Moran, they have it totally wrong. There will always be only one Tom Moran – the original. I’ll miss him dearly but will cherish the memories and time that we shared. RIP Moran.” Fish Tale: “My relationship with Tom began almost 40 years ago in this business of music,” says Grady. “We were indeed the odd couple. He from New Jersey and me from the prairies of Nebraska. What attracted me initially to Tom was his in-your-face honesty. You never had to wonder what was on his mind. One had to be wide awake to argue with Tom, for it was like arguing with a parking brake. I’m sure many radio programmers wear those scars. “We spent many years together as promo reps for Arista Records. We both eventually moved on to other jobs with other companies, but our friendship remained strong. By some unexplainable twist of fate, we both

ended up in Nashville. Tom fell in love with country music and transferred that into an absolute passion to get this music played on the radio. I’m sure many people in radio would sigh and take a deep breath when they saw his call coming in. He was a bulldog as a promotion person. If you were fortunate enough as an artist to have Tom working your record, you never had to wonder if he really cared. He probably cared too much. “People probably wondered why I hired Tom so many times. That’s easy, he was my conscience in many ways. I wanted everybody in the company to feel his passion when it was time to go into the market. I trusted him, which is the biggest compliment I can pay him, professionally. I never had to wonder how he was feeling . At some point he would tell me in a very loud, direct way. And most importantly he refused to give up. He never gave up. “I lost two big fish yesterday due to angler error. I believe in my heart that Tom landed that last big steelhead and happily returned it to the river. RIP, Tom Moran! I am so very fortunate to have you in my life. We all are.”

CoJo Dojo Casa House

Warner/CoJo/WMN’s Cody Johnson made his Bridgestone Arena headlining debut with support from Justin Moore and Dillon Carmichael Friday (2/2) at the Nashville stop of The Leather Tour. Forever WGTY/York, PA PD Scott Donato, Owens KUZZ/Bakersfield PD/afternoon host Brent Michaels and Music Choice Dir./Country Programming Jim Murphy were among the attendees, and they tell Country Aircheck what others in upcoming markets including Jacksonville (2/17), Indianapolis (3/15) and New Orleans (5/31) can expect. “I was quickly reminded of how great [Justin] is with an audience,” says Donato. Echoes Michaels, “It’s crazy how underrated he is.” Both Donato

and Murphy noted how confident Carmichael appeared during his opening slot. “This was Dillon’s biggest stage yet, and he was both comfortable and in command during an energetic, sixsong sampler that included current single ‘Drinkin’ Problems,’” says Murphy. The most extraordinary aspect of the staging was … what it wasn’t, according to Murphy. “It’s almost a given today that every arena or stadium headliner should have a video wall, a moving stage, multiple stages, confetti cannons, fog, fireworks, flying trapeze or all of the above,” he explains. “In many ways, it was refreshing to see a show on a big stage where the singer and the songs – not the production – were the stars.” Prior to taking the stage to a medley of “cowboy songs,” like “Whatcha Gonna Do With A Cowboy,” “Should’ve Been A Cowboy” and “Cowboys Like Us,” Johnson thanked his team (who surprised him Best Friends For Leather: with multiple plaques) and Country radio Donato with Johnson (bottom) and Moore (top) backstage, telling them, “Growing up, my heroes were all on the radio.” Highlights of the career-spanning, 19-song set and three-song encore included Brooks & Dunn’s surprise performance of “Long Live Country Music” from Johnson’s Leather album – “It might take the Preds winning the Stanley Cup at home to equal the volume of the crowd,” says Murphy – and daughters Clara Mae and Cori accompanying Johnson for “My Rifle, My Pony And Me” from the movie Rio Bravo. Johnson was joined by Randy Houser for closer “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys.” Donato summed the show up as “next level” from a “born entertainer,” with Michaels adding Johnson is an artist “on the verge of superstardom.” The former elaborates, “Like a good song, I always knew if he got the right amount of exposure, he would be our next superstar.” “As one of country music’s most powerful vocalists, it could be argued that amplification was more of a formality than a necessity,” closes Murphy.

Congratulations to Chris Janson, Ryan Dokke and the BMLGR promotion team on landing this week’s No. 1. “All I Need Is You” is Janson’s fifth No. 1, and his first since joining the BMLGR label. Janson’s jump to the top was fueled by the third-largest point increase (+7,007)

(continued from page 1) Station Pensacola,” recounts Lane. “My former morning show partner, Dana Cervantes, was working on base for the USO at the time and kept us updated on the air as everything was happening. Every law enforcement officer in the area converged on the scene. It was intense.” WYCT’s community focus quickly paid dividends, both in terms of listening and industry recognition. “We won our first ACM just a couple of years after we went on the air,” recalls King. Conversely, King and Lane don’t know what their ratings look like. The station hasn’t subscribed to Nielsen in more than a decade. “In the beginning it was a challenge,” says King. “Most of our sellers do not have big broadcasting backgrounds, so they’re not used to selling with numbers.” King adds agencies know the ratings, and local businesses know the impact WYCT has. “Would I love to have the programmer’s package every now and then? You bet,” he admits. “But it’s expensive, and we’d rather spend that money on a promo team.” King does not see the challenges faced by the industry as an excuse to do less. “Even if you only have one or two people on your staff, you still have a responsibility to your community with whatever resources you have,” he says. “We don’t have a massive staff and we sure don’t have a big budget, but we have the same amount of time as everyone else. What are you going to do with it?” “The truth is, you just have to want to make your community better,” adds Lane, who says everyone on the WYCT airstaff is invited to do some kind of service. “Just doing a show and going home doesn’t work for us. The more time I spend working within my community in non-radio functions, the easier it is for me to make whatever I do in radio outstanding, because I’ve created relationships.” “We just want to entertain and be a good neighbor,” adds King, who summarizes the station’s mission in one sentence: “Where two or more people gather together, Cat Country is there.” Reach Lane here, King here. –Chris Huff CAC

The Castellows A Little Goes A Long Way (Warner) The trio – sisters Ellie (lead guitar), Powell (banjo) and Lily (vocals) – wrote or co-wrote six of the seven songs that comprise their Trina Shoemaker-produced debut EP, including last month’s “I Know It’ll Never End.” Dalton Dover Take Me Home: Covers (Mercury) The three-track EP includes Dover’s take on Vince Gill’s “Go Rest High On That Mountain,” Alabama’s “Mountain Music” and John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” “My grandpa would put on his favorite records, and I’d listen to the stories,” he says. “Seeing my own life in those lyrics is what made me fall in love with country music, and I can’t think of a better way to honor that than sharing these songs.”
