When I write a Weekly Radio Recap, the intro is (oddly enough) always the last thing I write. With that in mind, it seems appropriate that I apologize in advance for probably the worse pun you'll ever see on this site... The headline writing only goes upward from here, people! BIRCH IS BAKING NEWS -- Longtime Kansas City newsman Randy Birch is back on the air, this time sharing his talents with seven stations across the country. The arragement, which sees Birch added to the menu at programming provider Audience Bakery, reunites him with one-time KFKF programmer Dean James, who serves as the company's "Master Baker" for the country format. BURNS BACK IN THE BIZ -- Former KXXR/KRBZ Program Director Brian Burns also made a triumphant return to radio this past week, as he was named Operations Manager for State Broadcasting's Dublin, Georgia cluster. The group counts five stations, including a classic rocker, two country outlets and two gospel stations. LAST WEEK TO NOMINATE CAMPO -- We're down to the wire in the LIVE! with Regis & Kelly "Women of Radio Co-Host Contest" as you have until Friday at 11AM local time to make your nomination. If you haven't already, we invite you to take a minute and nominate KCKC's Christy Campo to represent KC as a co-host. For all the details, just CLICK HERE. Thanks as always for reading, and have a great week! |

Today we have a great Independence Day quote for you from a one-time Kansas City sportscaster. I'd completely forgotten this hilarious tidbit until I ran across it again a few months ago. Since then, it's been sitting on my desktop just waiting for today... Hope you enjoy it! Happy Independence Day from your friends at BroadcastKC!
"Have you ever wondered how the Brits feel about us celebrating their humiliating defeat in the Revolutionary War? Talk about a heavy favorite blowing a big lead!"-- Bill Boronkay, then-KSHB 41 sportscaster, July 4, 1996 (Interestingly, these days Boronkay is a comedian based in Cleveland, where he still stays involved with sports and television.) |

Here at BroadcastKC, there's nothing we enjoy more than helping to showcase great Kansas City talent - be it on the web, or promoting the locals in national contests. You may recall last summer we asked you to help send a KCTV personality to New York as Regis Philbin's co-host for a day on LIVE! with Regis & Kelly. This year, it's time to get behind a new effort for the program (seen locally on KCTV5), as LIVE! has announced they're seeking local radio talent for their "Women of Radio Co-Host for a Day" contest. After hearing of the contest, we wondered aloud on Facebook & Twitter who would like to co-host with Regis for a day, so we could put together a campaign on their behalf. Luckily we heard almost immediately from a PERFECT candidate who had mentioned the contest on-air and online -- Star 102's Christy Campo! Christy is a Kansas City native who's been on the air locally since 2003, when she won KZPL's "Last DJ on The Planet" contest, shortly after obtaining a Broadcasting degree at Northwest Missouri State University. After leaving 97.3 The Planet, she was heard as a traffic reporter on numerous local stations, until joining the Star 102 morning show in June of 2007. Since the spring, Christy (who also doubles as KCKC's Promotions Director) has been heard hosting middays on Star 102 from 11AM to 4PM each weekday. We hope you'll join us in nominating Christy to represent Kansas City as a guest host on LIVE! in mid-August. Just follow the simple instructions below, and don't forget that you can vote daily now through July 16th (and hey, you can enter to win $500 worth of home appliances with each entry, too!)
1) CLICK HERE for the LIVE! contest page, and click "Click Here to Nominate a Broadcaster," to register or sign-in. 2) On the nomination page, just enter your contact information and the following info: | Broadcaster's Name: | Christy Campo | | Radio Station: | KCKC - Star 102 | | Telephone #: | (816) 753-4000 | | City: | Kansas City | | State: | Missouri |
