Are you doing with what you have? 

I’m constantly amazed how many PDs complain that the reason ratings are stagnant or down is because “corporate won’t give us any marketing money.”

Yes, I know.  We’d all love to have some marketing bucks.

But I’d ask your PD if he is maximizing all the marketing opportunities that are readily available to her?

My #1 programming pet peeve is not taking advantage of your own cume to send important messages.  Making clear your music positioning in a promo that runs three to five times a day is not doing it.  Break down your primary and secondary positioning elements and blow it out.  They’ll hear it.  Your station works for advertisers ... why not you?
