So let’s say the focus of this site becomes more about promoting stations with live “local” programming… What do you think the rules should be?<\/p>\n
I added a data field today called “Local Live Hours”. There is no actual data yet until we have some rules!<\/p>\n
A few questions to get the rules going…<\/p>\n
Over what time of day? 6 am to midnight (Nielsen), Hours per day Monday-Friday, or hours per week including weekends? Does an infomercial count if it is live?<\/p>\n
Do we count a local host doing syndication at his “home station” – for example, Howie Carr on WRKO? Since Howie does the Boston show from Florida in the winter, does that disqualify him? I suspect Jeff Kuhner does his “local” Boston show from Maryland… Lars Larson on KXL, Herman Cain on WSB, John Grayson on KMOX?<\/p>\n
What about music stations where the “show” is 98% music and ads? How do we rule out voice tracking where nobody is even at the station? Or does it even matter as long as it isn’t Delilah?<\/p>\n
There are no right or wrong answers, only apathy – and I don’t care one way or the other if you don’t answer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
