[SBE] Can Your Manager Tell You What You Do For A living?

[Ted Randall]

I feel transmitter tours are a good idea. 
Make sure your site is organized and clean however.
It's not real bad however for the place to have a little touch of the "Mad
Scientist"
look about it, but just a little.
It's too bad we still don't use mercury vapor tubes!

Here is something to think about.

Most on air and programming people as well as sales develop the mentality
that "the
signal just occurs"  It's just "in the air"  it originates in the studio.
You open the microphone pot and zap the signal "just happens"!
I know this sounds crazy but it is true, the transmitter site has been
zeroed out in 
their head.
When I had falling ice destroy an STL dish the GM asked me, "can't we just
put on a CD?"
She had no clue and it took a while for it to sink in with me what her
concept was.
Whatever it takes is what needs to be done.
Some GM's are great and never need to see a site.
Others need to be reminded along with staff the importance of time and money
invested at the transmitter site.
It needs to be top of mine ALL their effort and bank deposits are contingent
on that transmitter site!

Some have noted that their GMs have wanted to see the transmitter, while
others will avoid it all costs.

Why stop at the GM? Invite the entire station to the transmitter. Hold a
department head meeting there or nearby. Let them see what the transmitter
site is really like.

This assumes that it's a practical idea, of course. It also means cleaning
the place so it can be shown.
