Morning Radio has been described as the BIBLE OF MORNING RADIO. It's a practical, direct and useful guide for air personalities, programmers and managers. For more information and samples of the book,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
As someone who has done freelance morning radio and aspires to do it on a full time basis, I immediately had two differing reactions after finishing this book. My first was: "okay, a lot of the stuff was common sense." My second reaction was: "that's a great idea - I wish I had thought of that before." I lost interest in certain pages because the authors simply stated information that came across as common knowledge. It wasn't until the final 3 sections or so that the compelling information appeared. Having said that, I would recommend this book. It provided some very useful organizational methods for morning radio production. And, it also made me realize how much better I could have made my previous morning radio work.
Step by step process to developing your morning show

I'm always skeptical when reading a book on morning shows, but this was one I thoroughly enjoyed. Having done mornings for over 25 years at various stations in a multitude of market sizes, I wasn't sure what to expect. But these guys map it out whether you're a personality, PD or GM there are plenty of ideas on what it takes to be a "real" morning show that entertains and informs. Plus you'll learn when the team you've got isn't real and some of the warning signs.Good stuff:Michael Stone PD for Clear Channel of N. Co. Owner: AudioPros.Com
