The Right Station for Summer 2021

Posted: 22 Apr 2021 12:00 PM PDT
https://radioinsight.com/ross/207089...r-summer-2021/



Often, the station of the summer was the one in my backyard. The WRQX
(Q107) vs. WPGC Washington, D.C., battle in 1980. Ten-share KIIS Los
Angeles in the height of CHR’s comeback in 1984, but also KDAY at the birth
of Hip-Hop radio. KPWR (Power 106) two summers later, when you could go for
a run without a Walkman and still know every song they played for an hour
as they blared from passing cars.

Three different stations defined New York radio for me in three consecutive
summers. WQHT (Hot 97) in 1995, when the real hits were on R&B/Hip-Hop
radio and not on Top 40, where that format even existed. In the “Macarena�
summer of ’96, it was WKTU, proving that dance music still mattered in New
York. In 1997, it was WHTZ (Z100), making Top 40’s resurgence official.

Recently, my station of summer has been the one encountered out-of-town,
doing something contrarian for Top 40. CKOI Montreal became a favorite
again in 2017, thanks to a half-hour stretch that included Imagine Dragons,
“Thunder� (months before U.S. CHR), Shawn Mendes, Canadian rapper Sonreal,
Euro-dance’s Offenbach, and “Owner of a Lonely Heart� by Yes. Last summer
it was just-slightly-adult-leaning WKRZ Wilkes-Barre, Pa., which was
powering “Rain on Me� by Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande, just as it was
faltering elsewhere, and not playing “Blinding Lights� in power for six
more months.

If CHR is going to have a comeback, it’s going to begin this summer. It
needs to begin this summer. Some will read this and say it’s already in
process. A few stations have three-share ratings that camouflage impressive
18-34 stories. Many are merely doing a little better than the 2.5 of two
months ago. I hope April is as promising as March, but the eight-share CHRs
that dominated from 16 to 54 a decade ago aren’t such a distant memory. So
unless you don’t want that, don’t call it a comeback, yet.

Some people say CHR is just a spin of the format cycle from a resurgence.
Some don’t think Top 40 can ever rebound with young-end listening so
siphoned off, leaving behind only the 18-24s who want to hear the Classic
Rock they encounter while gaming. In his much-discussed article of a few
weeks ago, Jason Kidd thinks it will happen when CHR courts the young end
and acknowledges the next “WAP.� I have suggested that moms, when they’re
again inclined to model the station for their daughters, will be the first
adapters. It’s entirely possible that both those statements are true.

What gives CHR a chance in the next few months is America’s determination
to have the summer that was wrested from us in 2020. In 2009-10, the relief
of America not descending into a second Great Depression was enough to
empower dozens of party-rock anthems. If better times are on the way this
year, radio has a chance to be their soundtrack. If good times do not
materialize, then we really need radio to be their surrogate.

What would that sound like? And how can we get there with the music we have
now, especially when the mid-to-downtempo music coming from TikTok and the
piano ballads coming from the artist’s bedroom are our most undeniable
hits? The rare “Blinding Lights� or “Levitating� proves that there’s still
a demand for tempo and energy. Other uptempo mainstream titles struggle
between No. 15 and No. 10, upstaged by the next mid-to-downtempo Justin
Bieber or Ariana Grande song.

The right station for summer 2021 can play Olivia Rodrigo and Tate McRae,
but not next to each other.

The right station for summer 2021 should play Masked Wolf and “Montero,�
but maybe not next to each other and not punctuated only by “You Broke Me
First.â€�Â*

The right station for summer 2021 will deliver on the promise of CHR (or
any hot current-based format) as a renewable source of ongoing excitement.
It will not keep the winter’s hits in power throughout the summer because
there is nothing else. I’d like to cite this year’s counterpart to “Sucker�
or “Blinding Lights,� but with the possible exception of “34+35� we don’t
really have one. In part, that’s because we were still too busy with
“Blinding Lights� to develop another one.

The right station for summer 2021 could have a substantial dance/pop
component. It’s the music with which WKTU gave New Yorkers permission to
exhale 25 years ago. It’s also the uptempo music that is most readily
available and ratified elsewhere in the world. In the U.S., there are two
producer-driven dance/pop songs in the top 30. In the U.K., where CHR
sounds better already, there are three in the top 10 and eight in the top
20, and that doesn’t include uptempo pop that just happens to be danceable,
like “My Head or My Heart.�

The right station for summer 2021 will be charged with cultivating a
certain amount of music, songs that can be nurtured through their chart
doldrums to get the sound it wants. Many decades ago, it was “Moonlight
Feels Right� by Starbuck that kicked around for months until called upon
for summer duty. I hear Nelly & Florida Georgia Line’s “Lil Bit� as that
record this year. I hear left-field candidates on SiriusXM Hits 1 (Lil
Huddy, “The Eulogy of You and Me�) or Hot AC (Elle King & Miranda Lambert’s
“Drunk [And I Don’t Want to Go Home].� There are many more songs available
to us if we are willing to champion them, rather than waiting for Spotify’s
Today’s Top Hits to sort it all out.

The right station for summer 2021 will not be jockless. We are all starved
for company and conversation again. They will share the good times if they
come. They will distract us if they don’t. In summer 2020, it was notable
when a station like WKRZ could provide that, amidst radio’s other crises.
We are all a year more practiced now at keeping-on-keeping-on. The right
station for summer 2021 will be a showcase for radio.

Will it be enough? In summer 1982, some of the best CHRs in America were on
AM. KFRC San Francisco played the R&B hits that most CHRs would not. So did
KKBQ (79Q) Houston, but it also played “Bad Reputation� by Joan Jett & the
Blackhearts and oddball bopper-gold like “The Night Chicago Died.� 79Q did
well enough to secure a place on FM six months later. KFRC hung on a few
more years, then it was fragmented out of the format by new FM competition.

But between 1980 and 1984, having KFRC in the format was better than not.
When the next great Bay Area radio station, KMEL, came along, it was more
than informed by KFRC. In its six months, 79Q made a case not only for
bringing the station along to the next platform, but for the CHR format
itself. In a future that’s uncertain on every front, what we can do now is
create the stations we want to hear now.

WILK Revamps On-Air Lineup

Scranton/1300 WODS West Hazleton/103.1 WILK-FM Avoca PA has announced an
all new programming lineup from between 6am and 3pm.

Jason Barsky, who has hosted the 9am-12pm slot since 2018, will move to
mornings alongside Nancy Kman from 6-9am. Barsky fills the morning slot
that had been vacant since John Webster retired at the end of 2020. Barsky
previously spent a decade in mornings at 107.9 The End KDND Sacramento,
PD/morning host at 99.3 Kiss-FM WHKF Harrisburg, and Max 106.3 WHCY

Replacing Barsky in the 9am-12pm slot is Nikki Stone. Stone has spent the

cluster and has worked at multiple other stations in the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre market including Rock 107 WEZX, 107.7 WEMR, 97.9X

is now 1550 WITK and 95.7 WBHD.

effective immediately. The station subsequently announces Nikki Stone as
midday show host and welcomes former Lackawanna County commissioner Bob

“We’re really excited to introduce this enhanced slate of programming to
our listeners as we focus on the issues that matter most to Northeast PA,�
said Ryan Flynn, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Audacy
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. “Nikki brings a breadth of experience in this market
which we think will quickly build a sense of trust between her and our
audience. Bob Cordaro, also someone with deep local roots, is an expert on
area, the people, and local politics. I trust his candor and connection
with our audience will quickly translate to a successful afternoon show.�

“Northeast PA has always been home to me,� said Stone. “Im excited about
this chance to open up conversation, talk about the issues that matter and
have a little fun with the people I consider neighbors and friends.�

Nikki Stone has served as a traffic and on-air personality for the station
since 2017. Other previous positions include commercial copy writer and

for Citadel Communications in Wilkes-Barre; and operations manager for WEMR
in Tunkhannock, PA.

“I am incredibly honored to become part of the team at WILK and Audacy,�
said Cordaro. “While it is a daunting task to replace the great Rush
Limbaugh in Northeast PA, I feel privileged to be able to do so. I want to
thank our management team here in Scranton Wilkes-Barre as well as everyone
at Audacy for giving me this opportunity. We are going to have a lot of fun
promoting a conservative commonsense agenda that works for the people of
this area and our country.�

from 2000 to 2008. He has also previously worked in Washington D.C. on the
staff of former Congressman Charles F. Dougherty, was the Democratic

In addition to his role with WILK, Cordaro has formed Synergist Solutions,

https://radioinsight.com/headlines/2...-morning-show/



Saga Communication Rock Lazer 103.3 KAZR Pella/Des Moines has added Mike
Wickett as its new morning co-host alongside Heather Lee.

Wickett most recently has been hosting a weekly show for Sagas ESPN 1350
KRNT Des Moines. He previously co-hosted middays at Audacy News/Talk 98.1
KMBZ-FM Kansas City until November 2019. Wickett co-hosted mornings at

stay-at-home dad to their three young children.

He fills the opening created by the resignation of Sean Fish Fisher in
February. Fish and Heather Lee joined KAZR last November following which
Lee was the victim of vulgar, misogynistic on-air comments from then
WHMH-FM Sauk Rapids MN morning host Aaron Imholte who was bitter for not
being considered for the job.
