You asked is who are we and what part of that can we bring to our audience, and i think that is its an important we should each ask ourselves because what part of ourselves do we want to reveal during the few hours of the day were on the air . Audien. What part of yourself do we want to reveal. Or what part of ourselves do we want to reveal to a different audience since there are so many tracks and channels. Right. You are not obligated to be what you are just on the big one. You can have bod passes and things. Craig, i havent forgotten youre here. I havent forgotten im here either. What is it like being the Program Director of wabc, having this immense heritage behind you. Part of the answer, how is it interesting in new york than in providence or a smaller market. Thanks for having me, first of all. I think its a great group here. Every year i learn a lot. Thanks for having me. Gosh, you know, wabc verses wpro in providence, which is a great station as well. I dont think the challenges are that much different. Yes, the audience is bigger. Yes, the talent is different. There was a different level of talent in the sense of they have to perform on a larger stage. But the talent in providence are very talented. The talent in new york are very talented. That doesnt change. I think a Radio Station is a Radio Station in many ways. You still have concerns over marketing. You still want to assign the talent to the right agreement. You still want the talent to be in productive day part and have them do the best show they possibly can. Those fights, those battles are des moines to new york or providence to new york. You still have a transmitter that goes down. You still have sales concerns. And you still have Sales Managers to work with and be productive with and try to find your spot and find the things that are going to matter. Those conversations are the same in the hall ways of providence as they are in new york. The difference for me, there is a different pulse in new york. There is a different expectation in new york. But both of those stations wpro and wabc are heritage brands. You want to be the custodian of them. I take the heritage of the station in providence and the heritage of the station here in new york very, very seriously. Its what a lot of us listen to. We listened to 77 growing up and yankees games, cousin brucy. Or whatever it might have been. We listened to these big a. M. Radio stations. I grew up in kansas in the midwest. Those big sticks meant a lot to me. This big stick means a lot to me at 77. I take it extremely seriously. I take our talent seriously. I take our approach to promotions and marketing seriously. I take everything seriously. Thats the way it has to be for all of us. And its an exciting time. You know, its something i hold very dear. And its something that im very thankful to be a part of. Were going to wrap this up in a minute and a half, two minutes. Ive programmed in the biggest markets and ive also programmed in some small ones. And i have found the biggest mistake a major market radio person can do is think because they are in a big station for big market somehow they were more or theyre better than the people running small stations. Or somehow small markets have small people and small money. They have big people, big egos, lots of power and lots of cliques. There are amazing obstacles with your big city ways and think you have all the answers. Chris, well let you wrap up the big picture. Its interesting, as i followed you over the years, 2015, you have been around the track a lot. You are not the same young fellow that i knew 15, 20 years ago. Whats your assessment of the big picture . What do we need to be concerned with as radio broadcasters Going Forward . I think what we need to be about moving forward is not making the excuses that we have sort of made a habit of in the past. It is very interesting, sexy, new, shiny. But the point ive always made about things like that is there have been Radio Stations in ppm that have been number one long before voltare. So sometimes we try to pick on one thing and make it all about that thing and we lose sight of the big picture. And thats not good for any industry. But the thing that im most passionate about, i think nielsen will get it right. The rating point for broadcast radio will actually increase in the next few years, which would be great for business.
