Paid religion got away with murder--I can easily recall the Bible-thumpers on 50,000-watt red state stations who spent *at least* half of their broadcast fund-raising.

Well, I watched my pastor on TV over the weekend.  And I didn't hear him tell people to support the ministry as often as you claim.  And he's not a local preacher, either.

I just found out today that it's now legal to have your EAS unit automatically send out weekly tests.  Now... you don't even have to have a human there to push the button.  Amazing.

I hear stories from some of the people who have worked in radio for 30+ years... saying how they had to display their "ticket" in the studio while they were on the air... how there was someone at the radio station all the time... or at least during the hours where they didn't sign off (and some stories about one particular DJ getting fired for fornicating with a member of the opposite gender on the PD's leather couch)... how radio stations actually used to cater to the area they broadcast from.  Most of that isn't happening now.  Well... my PD doesn't have a couch in his office.

Most of these guys will tell you that deregulation of radio has ruined the medium.  And... even though I've only been on the air for 7 years... I'd have to agree.  Automation... voice tracking... syndicated programming... there really isn't something as "local radio" anymore.  Sure... maybe on one of the few "mom and pop" stations... but that's about it.  Clear Channel has made sure that every radio station in every market they own stations in sounds exactly the same... like crap.  

And... with automation comes cutting jobs for jocks.  Again... I'll use Clear Channel as an example... only because I know they do this locally.  Here in the Salisbury/Ocean City, MD market, we have a local "Kiss-FM" station... just like every other Clear Channel market.  With the exception of the morning jock... the rest of the shifts are voicetracked by jocks from other markets... DC, Philly, and NYC.  And... all of the "local" news comes from Baltimore.

It's ponderous man... just ponderous.

I'm stepping down from my soapbox now... my nurse is telling me it's time for my meds and a "sleepy time nap".

Corey, as a 35-year vet in the trenches, I'm with you. This whole thread has been fascinating for a variety of reasons, and brought back a lot of memories. Glad someone brought up the NAB Seal Of Good Practice. I was watching an old b&w tv show on disc with the seal in it's closing credits and wondered why I never saw it any more. It was part of the sign-on and sign-off of the local stations I grew up with. Thanks for the info. Especially thanks, Randy, for the background stuff.
If I didn't push the button for the weekly EAS test, I'd get no exercise at all...

But sure, being a former LIVE! booth announcer, I remember the sign-offs very well and specifically recall reading the following copy while the aforementioned NAB symbol was shown on viewers' screens:
"WJKW-TV 8 Cleveland subscribes to the NAB Code and is proud to display this seal of good practice".

All Right, Don...Curiosity has finally gotten to me.  Given that most booth announcers have been replaced by voicetracking, or pre-recorded voice-overs, does that mean you still lend your dulcet tones to Channel 8, or any well-known sponsors around Cleveland?

I'm trying to figure out which voice you were/are at Channel 8?  I know Howard Hoffman was a booth announcer years ago, and Bill Ward is now the official "Voice of Cleveland's Own".  But I do remember a few others -- I'm just trying to place the voice.

Amazing how Cheap Channel will plug the hell out of the ratethemusic.com website,  (which I believe they have financial ties to--go figure!!) yet they're too scared to create and/or plug a website called ratethestation.com (where people could rate every little aspect of the evil Clear Channel empire -- not just the info the Arbitron people are looking for).

[quote name=\'mcfly95\' date=\'Dec 22 2005, 12:40 AM\']OK, hate to bring this up again, but I wonder about a few other things:

1) Did he ever say it on Scrabble or WoF? (I know he was said to have started it on Love Connection, but I've heard he said it on WoF)
2) Is the hand clapping before the phrase fairly permenant, or just for love connection? (an observation)

1) Does 1983 come after 1981?  If so, consider your source your bowling buddy.  It became permanent on all CW shows up to Lingo.

2) I suppose you've never heard of audio sweetening?

OK, mcfly, time to go back to the future.

Y'know, I wanna say he did use it at least once on Scrabble. I wanna even say it was the 93 revival.

Then again, I can barely remember what I did yesterday, let alone something I saw nearly 13 yrs. ago. :-P

And you would be correct to say it, man. I have VHS evidence of him having done so on both versions. Very sparingly, but he did do so. As for WOF, I don't even know if NBC daytime had commercial breaks of that length during his hosting tenure.

I mean how he claps his hands together before saying it, not anything about the audience.

He said AUDIO, not audience.
