Back to the archive for today’s Aircheck post. 20 years ago today this broadcaster presided over a format flip to Country. I was program director at a religious radio station in 1991 that was forced to fire most of our air staff. Our owner presumed that a change of music styles would cause our station to turn the corner overnight (my speculation.) All of our daily preacher shows were exiled to Sundays where contractual obligations were met. It was thought that Country music would be the magic cure. Frustrated, I quit about two weeks after this recording because of some inter staff conflicts between our skeleton crew. The station itself struggled a while, then changed over to a news/talk format before its eventual demise in 1993. That year the owner sold the license to a local church. Thereafter, local preachers and gospel music were once again on their air. Download here or press play below,
Stay tuned
