What ends up happening is the guy either tells the station to gently caress off or he goes out of business either because he lost too much money or the station suckered him into signing a binding contract. Who the heck would sign an open ended contract like this? I guess I'm not surprised...

EngineerJoe posted:Who the heck would sign an open ended contract like this? I guess I'm not surprised... Well generally they aren't open ended if a real contract is signed. But if the contract is for let's say 6 months and they are taking $600+ dollars a week in food from you that you are unable to recoup from the advertising it puts a damper on you. Also what happens a lot is the owners of these businesses don't realize they are in trouble until it is too late. Radio generally does not make it's money from mom and pop advertising in most markets. They get it from larger local business or major corporations with a national advertising wave going on. What generally happens is someone at the station decides they need something and they decide to get a advertiser who does that. The trade for ad time is a win for the station as it is free and they can place the ads at a time where they aren't selling time then already. Now some stations are ethical with this practice but most are not. The less major of a market you are in the more prevalent it is. The city I live in right now is one of top 3 in the state and is a top 50 radio market. It is a perfect place for the scam as it is big enough to draw major advertisers and has some large business so they don't have to worry about mom and pop to pay people's paychecks. It is still small towney enough for little local restaurants and business to be able to feel like they need the radio ads.

Off topic but somewhat Stern related. My wife is a manager at hotel in the Southwestern Ontario region and Norm McDonald just checked in last night. Seems he has a few gigs in the area this week. Bonzo fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Mar 10, 2011 |

Djarum posted:Never happen. There is no professional radio software for OSX. I know that most audio recording/editing is done on a Mac, at least in my experience, but no one has ever really made a good integrated radio suite for OSX. That's why it'll be hilarious. "Robin, I called up Steve Jobs today to turn the whole studio over--" *cue Robin laugh* quote:I am sure the demand is there. Keeping up a Windows machine that is touched by bored disc jockeys with no concept of keeping viruses, etc off it is a nightmare. It is worse at a smaller station without much of a budget for IT. I hear you about the IT end of it. My last boss got canned because he thought he could do anti-virus on the cheap. Didn't work. But Apple's probably satisfied having a corner on the moviemaking market. Their software is second to none. I can believe radio stations being a pile of poo poo. One of my old Electronic Media/Broadcast Arts audio instructors was possibly the sleazest men alive. I don't like to stereotype, but after getting into radio talk shows, there's just an aura of grease on everything that stinks of misogyny and misanthropy to a level I have not seen in the movie industry. Well, yet.

Isnt that King of all Blacks? I've stopped listening to the show lately but I would absolutely tune in for any time KOAB gets to bust on people. When he was ripping on Ronnie during the intern pageant a while back I couldn't stop laughing. He's an rear end in a top hat, and his calls can be death, but when he has someone to bust on he is hilarious.

I love when KOAB's kept busting Gary's balls for the kind of car he drives, and you eventually get to the part where you find out Gary actually drives a BMW, but because its only a 3 series, to KOAB its a piece of garbage. Oh and apparently Jimmy Kimmel is on vacation in the South Pacific. From his twitter "I am on an island in French Polynesia, glued to CNN" Hope he doesnt get washed away!

HE BOUGHT A WATCH AN HE GOT CHANGE By the way, Andy Dick was recently on Joe Rogan's podcast, and while each of them were never close friends with Artie, they also don't know what he is up too. It doesn't seem like Artie's situation is kept under wraps on just the show. -Atom- fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Mar 11, 2011 |

He stayed at the hotel my wife manages. He came in to the daily staff meeting and thanked everyone for a nice stay. She said he was kinda quiet but very nice. They had no idea he was coming. He booked the room himself online using his own credit card.
