GELLER MEDIA INTERNATIONAL NEWSLETTER
September 2003

WHICH ONE GETS TO INTERVIEW THE GOOD GUESTS?

Do you remember the bible story, the one where two women fight over which is=
=20
the true mother of a baby? And King Solomon offers to solve the problem by=20
slicing the child in half? On a strange level this is not an unfamiliar dyn=
amic=20
to many program directors and executive producers at radio and TV stations=20
with interactive talk programming. =20

The question: Who decides, of the many talented interviewers and hosts you=20
have on the station, which of your on-air talent gets to interview the "hot"=
=20
guest?

You may be familiar with the situation. A big name celebrity, politician,=20
sports figure or author is in town, or available to be on the station. Ever=
yone=20
wants to do the interview. But the guest is only going to be able to do ONE=
=20
interview? Or, say, even if you can get the interviewee on more than one sho=
w,=20
it may not be good programming to overkill with overexposure or "too much"=20=
of=20
this guest, even though the hosts or presenters may REALLY want to do it.

Think about the listener. Ask: What am I offering my audience that he/she=20
cannot get elsewhere? Also take a look at the entire media landscape. We d=
o=20
not work in a vacuum. The audience also gets their news and information fro=
m=20
OTHER sources. Has this person been all OVER the other TV, radio and newspa=
per=20
in the market this week? Are we just one more stop on a long list of "media=
=20
exposure" for this subject or person? If a subject is overexposed, though i=
t=20
may be fun for the people at the station to interview a high profile=20
personality or political mover, ask: Will it be boring to the listener?

If this has NOT happened at your station, consider yourself fortunate. =20
Otherwise, here are a couple of proven ideas to try to work it out internall=
y. =20
NOTE: None of these are particularly fair, but they are time tested and can=20=
work=20
to create powerful radio.

PROBLEM: Everyone fights over wanting to interview the same guest:

Who is the "King Solomon" in the station? =20
Whether it is the PD, executive producer, or even the general manager,=20
someone has to make the call and everyone must agree and take directive from=
the=20
final deciding voice. The talent must defer to and follow. You don't want=20=
to=20
run into the "ask mom, then if you don't like the answer, ask dad=E2=80=A6"=20=
syndrome=E2=80=A6
I've seen it happen more than once, if a talent doesn't like an answer or=20
decision, he or she will go up a level and take it to someone else. This c=
auses a=20
multitude of management problems. Try to avoid this by setting rules and=20
systems in place and explaining the thought process BEFORE the situation occ=
urs.. =20


GUIDELINES:

It makes sense to put the "hottest" guests/experts in morning or afternoon=20
drive times, traditionally when most people are listening. If the producers=
and=20
hosts cannot agree on who gets the guest, then the one with the biggest=20
audience/daypart wins.

To appease the other hosts, and recycle content for the audience, one way=20
that might satisfy disgruntled hosts, presenters and producers is to take th=
e=20
interview with the high profile celebrity, politician, author, sports figure=
,=20
etc. and take three small key sound bites
That can serve as open phone talking points for discussion for OTHER shows.=20=
=20
When the other show hosts air these "pieces" of the interview from this=20
morning, it can be introduced with "If you did not happen to catch this morn=
ing's=20
interview with J-Lo, The Pope, or whomever, here's a bit of what he/she said=
on=20
our morning show=E2=80=A6Then the host, through powerful radio techniques (f=
ocus,=20
engage, opinion, position and storytelling) can use those sound bite comment=
s as=20
content to "spark" a unique discussion now.

If a few of the topics the person hit upon included powerful storytelling,=20
authentic self revelation, strong opinion or position, or something about=20
health, heart, money or simply talkable topics that can be continued within=20=
THIS=20
show=E2=80=A6then it can work and the audience feels they've "heard" the big=
guest. =20
It's not the guest, it is the CONTENT. So if the show is riveting, powerful=
=20
radio, and works. Then everyone is happy.

If a host or producer has a special prior relationship with the interviewee,=
=20
or a personal connection to either the guest or the public relations person,=
=20
that host gets to do the interview. Again, this may not seem "fair" but thi=
s=20
works.

Again, in principle, I am against this, however, in the rare instance when a=
=20
guest MIGHT appear on two shows on the station or network, it is vital that=20
the interviews be COMPLETELY different. So if he/she goes on in the morning=
=20
talking politics, then shows up again at night, try to do something ELSE, or=
=20
unexpected content with the subject say, "desert island discs," romantic adv=
ice or=20
storytelling or even favorite recipes. Anything, fresh, relatable and new,=20
NOT repeating exactly what happened this morning.
