Wednesday Blogs & Promos

78° - cloudy at 12:30pm

Good Afternoon.

From my blogosphere:

Alan Mason. Alan blogs about chasing dreams - writing: "I can sometimes get so focused on the day-to-day details that I forget to dream." Yup! Read Alan's piece here.

Seth Godin. A job for the future: building website communities. Seth: "What if you want to hire someone to build an online community? Somebody to create and maintain a virtual world in which all the players in an industry feel like they need to be part of it?". Read more here.

Websites - a tool to use in establishing the "community" of listeners a station should strive for.

And: David Martin writes about the radio talent pyramid - at the top are the true stars. Below them are the personalities and voice actors. And so forth.

Dave on talent: "experience has taught me the popular notion that "there is no one out there" is totally false." A great read on his blog here.

Cool Promos:

WAXQ/New York is offering listeners a chance to "jam with legends" at Rock & Roll Fantasy Camp during Labor Day Weekend. The camp includes Ted Nugent, Mark Farner, Leslie West and Paul Stanley.

Entry is by submitting video. Details from Q104.3 here.

And: WMGK/Philadelphia is giving away a performance by Foghat at a listener block party. Very cool.
