What a Change!

WHAT A WEEK!

*This week was a challenging one. I have some personal matters that I'm dealing with that were going to affect my broadcasting career here, but I with the help of lots of people who believe in me and care about me, figured something out!

*I have some financial problems and I didn't think I was going to be able to go to school next semester and I would have to give up my program director position, which is the LAST thing I wanted to do. I love being here, but in reality, I have bills that have to get paid and I'm not making enough money. I went to the registrar's office, the financial aid office, my advisor, and back again. Let's just say, I was everyone's best friend that day. HA! The financial aid office thought it would be best for me to stay a full time student and have 12 credits. So, I worked it all aout and I am taking all night classes next semester, so I can work during the day and put money in the bank. I am also keeping my program director position, which made me very happy. Thanks to Dr. Barner! He helped me out a lot! The only downfall is that I won't graduate on time, but I can probably still walk with my class and graduate provisionally.

*Amanda and I had a great newscast on Monday. We both had more sound than we needed, so we had to cut out some stories, but we worked hard and it was good as always. I scheduled and we had our music committee meeting. I worked at Froggy overnight this week and helped people that were doing projects in the station and in the newsroom. I also helped people with some of their TV packages. I am going to make a Morning show promo next week. I am also working with some local businesses for remotes and promotions in the future. We will definately have one for Christmas.

*THE MUSICAL!

Nick Anthony Elected New Arbitron Advisory Council Chairman
Anthony is the VP/Operations for Rubber City Radio in Akron, OH, and he'll succeed Saga Communications EVP Steve Goldstein in the post. At the same time, Clear Channel/Youngstown, OH Market Manager Bill Kelly is elected to the Vice Chairman post. The elections come as the council prepares for what Goldstein calls a long-need reorganization. "This set up has been this set up since Marconi invented radio," he said. The changes will give the council more of a market-size focus, rather than its current format-based focus. And, Goldstein says the five-biggest Arbitron customers will have representation on the council with the move. That doesn't mean the mom-and-pops will be shut out, though. "We absolutely made sure that there's an equal chance for everybody to get in," he said. "But we needed the largest companies represented because they own so many stations."

What do you think the qualifications are for a VP of Programming or Operations?
