Hawkeye: Country Radio Hall of Famer, Mornings New Country 96.3 Dallas

I had my first trip to Dallas last August and was looking forward
to a few things: Visiting the Texas School Book Depository,
Eating some Texas BBQ, and listening to the radio. We did all
three but I did not check out a lot of country radio which is
weird because Dallas radio is full of country music, sports, and
is the home of the venerable Kidd Kraddick show. It also has some
legendary personalities who have left their mark on the city
(like Kidd), but also Ron Chapman, Terry Dorsey and Tom Joyner
who did mornings in Dallas before jetting off to Chicago DAILY to
do afternoon drive.


Hawkeye has been apart of all of that in the market, including
working alongside Terry Dorsey where he learned how to morning
radio on the job. In this episode we discussed what makes Dallas
a great place to do radio, what it takes to have a successful
show in market number 5, why consultants can help grow your
career, and what you need to know when you move to Dallas to do
radio. We also had some random discussion about the sports scene,
the changing demographics in communities and where to get some
good Texas BBQ.


We also spent time talking about the morning show, including the
division in work and performance between himself and his co-host
Michelle, and how much time to allot to on air vs. online.
