5.0 out of 5 stars 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...

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Book - RIPOFF PRICE!
Don't get me wrong, there is some great information in MORNING RADIO. Having been a number one morning radio air personality myself for most of the past thirty years I find that most of what is here is common sense, but I suppose it's common sense I have developed over decades. This is a great and wise piece of guidance for those in the early stages of their careers...

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Book - RIPOFF PRICE!, September 18, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Morning Radio (Paperback)
Don't get me wrong, there is some great information in MORNING RADIO. Having been a number one morning radio air personality myself for most of the past thirty years I find that most of what is here is common sense, but I suppose it's common sense I have developed over decades. This is a great and wise piece of guidance for those in the early stages of their careers. But, SEVENTY BUCKS? Come on, guys! It is a paperback containing only 205 pages with an awful lot of white space on them! A major ripoff!

One final note: though I despise anonymous criticisms I have to withold my name because I might find myself applying to one of the authors for a job, someday.

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:

4.0 out of 5 stars Common Sense & Useful, June 20, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Morning Radio (Paperback)
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.
