I read that blog this morning...he hit the hammer on the head. I'd love to hear Seacrests' take on the issue. Between his KISS gig and "Idol" and his syndication biz and his production company responsibilities...and I'm sure I'm missing some other jobs he has....when does he have time to sleep? Or prep? Just how much money does it take to satisfy him. That's right...it's not just the money,...it's the power and prestige too. |

I've been in studio with Ryan Seacrest doing his KIIS morning show... |

Is this really a Ryan Seacrest problem, or a corporate radio problem? Do we really begrudge a guy to make as much $$ as he can while he can? |

You're right...it's not just a Seacrest or John Tesh or Delila or Tom Kent issue...it is a corporate radio problem. So is voice-tracking and a laundry list of other items. Perhaps the question is, what can we do to change that mentality. |

I believe Ryan also still has a regular gig on E Entertainment Television, also. |

Ryan Seacrest is not the problem, he is mearly a symptom and a result. The problem is that the average radio listener has ceased caring. |

Reading Notalents post, the Seacreast Show is "Radio in a can" Open and pour. Straight off the production line. Corporate radio management created this. The blog re-enforces this by stating that Seacrest show is no different or better than most current local morning shows. THAT is why it is easy to kick out the local salaries and replace it with existing payroll. Generic business plan that works equally well in any consolidated business. The corporate broadcast/investment environment choked the individuality, flexibility, and creativity out of local content with "Required" content... "Starz Gazing" at 6:45, "Idol Chatter" 7:20..... "Interview lame author with free book give away" 8:25 same rotation every day.... as stated, same prep, individual content discouraged, or outright banned."that's not what we do"...."that's not what we are about" Stick to the script.... Create the plan, and then you can justify blowing out the local show since it's no different. Hey we can plug in a "NATIONAL CELEBRITY" rather than Joe Local who is doing "the same thing" |
