I'm Bi-Coastal

So, in my brief life as a radio freelancer so far, my Chinese New Year Special was picked by a station in Boston and a station in Seattle. It's gratifying to know that my work is appreciated. Frankly, my energies are focused on writing my doctoral document (I am mostly finished, actually.), prepping for three concerts in March, and teaching, so the radio thing is on the back-burner, just for now. Even with that said I produced an interview for WABE just last week. Take a listen.

The Source

In case anyone had a question about the mastermind of the current changes at my former radio station, the GM admits to being in charge in this article.

Even with the new electronic Portable People Meters reporting their first stats and transforming what we think of radio listening, this is still true.  When one is trying to create a consistent sound, interruption means tune-out.  A talk show in the middle of six hours of classical music creates a disturbance and not increased interest.  Also, when you read the article, the GM is admitting that the Noon talk show will become a dumping ground of previously aired pieces on the news magazines.   How's that for creating "a great conduit between the listener and more exposure to the Atlanta arts community?"  This talk show means less arts coverage because it will seek to repeat what already has been done, and not to create more coverage.  The purpose of this programming change is an obvious move to add more talk and take away more music on the station, and this article names the source.
