The Fall of the Empire of the Air

It's "Say Goodbye To Hollywood" time for terrestrial radio worldwide... AM is hanging by threads with only right wing talk shows, religious programming and Hispanic music while FM is slowly fading to black with Internet Radio taking over everything.

It's a new Tower of Babel with about 100,000 Internet stations doing each format. How many times can you do Classic Rock or Classic Hits or Hip Hop? Think about it. We're working on that conundrum as we speak.

So today we go back to Harry Chapin barely hanging on at WOLD AM while there's no static on FM... soon there won't be anything at all on it... It's hard for the Mayor to deal with. Being a jock since high school, old habits die hard. But life goes on and so does the Mayor. He tells us he has all this worked out. Something has happened to him he won't share yet but he says it will frost everybody's cookies and we want to see him do that...

Segue City will be a recurring short-form programming element of "The Big Kahuna" - one of GET's developmental Internet Radio formats created by Dain Schult. It will also be expanded as a part of that format and finally evolve into a full, long-form programming element on its own. It’s all a part of GET’s radio division – American Internet & Radio (“AIR”).

The feature will be available for integration into other AIR Classic Rock terrestrial stations in the future as well. It revives the art of mixing two songs together in a seamless pattern where it is tough to tell where the first song ended and the second one began. Sometimes the segues may also revolve around thematic ideas like matching or similar song titles. We'll try anything because no two Segue City Specials will ever be exactly the same...

At least that’s the idea… your mileage may vary, check with your dealer; so, you don’t forget order before midnight; operators standing by for your important call; Our talent is on loan from God. We just pray He'll let us finish another segue for tomorrow... if you liked today's segue, our Mayor is known as the Silver Haired Man of Rock n' Roll. At least that’s the idea… your mileage may vary, check with your dealer; so, you don’t forget order before midnight; operators standing by for your important call; offer void where prohibited by law and that normally means it's legal everywhere but in New Mexico... is that gun really loaded or not?

This feature is a three-time winner of the Thomas J. Duke Memorial Music Segue and BBQ Cook-Off Award.
