I’m not sure if this says more about TV or about radio.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There is this trend developing of Radio People wanting to be on TV.\u00a0\u00a0 The long standing joke about radio is saying that someone hosting a radio program has a perfect face for radio (meaning they are ugly :))….\u00a0 there is much truth to that.<\/p>\n

Among the people doing this currently that I know of are\u00a0 Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Don Imus and Bob\u00a0& Tom.\u00a0\u00a0 This Fox TV deal adds 4 more to that list – the one you are most likely to know about is the morning show from WPLJ-FM in New York – one of the hosts is Scott Shannon, the guy who does the intros for Sean Hannity and the voice tracking on “True Oldies” (and is also the VP of programming for Citadel Media in his spare time).<\/p>\n

They are talking about taking these morning shows and runing\u00a0recordings of them in the evenings – so they won’t be live and\u00a0people can’t call in.\u00a0\u00a0 I don’t get it – other than it is really cheap “entertainment”\u00a0to put on the air.<\/p>\n

One thing that irritates me about radio shows with TV cameras – Rush is the worst at this – is they end up playing to the camera…. holding stuff up to the camera, or being distracted because the camera is pointing at the wrong thing.\u00a0\u00a0 Radio people also tend to be\u00a0slobs – they should up in t-shirts and shorts.\u00a0\u00a0 Nobody knows what\u00a0they’re wearing, so it\u00a0doesn’t matter.\u00a0 Put a TV camera on them, suddenly they\u00a0have to worry if their hair is still in place, etc…\u00a0\u00a0 In a historical note, it is probably worth mentioning that Art Bell was the pioneer in doing this on a syndicated show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
