Over the last several years we’ve worked hard to bring “Floydian Slip” to more and more listeners by adding affiliate stations to our Random Precision Radio Network.
Today we stopped pursuing new affiliates owned by iHeartMedia Inc. and Cumulus Media Inc.
Since self-syndicating in 2009, we’ve pitched more than 2,100 stations, and have managed to greatly increase our network to 105 affiliates in more than 40 states. But stations owned by iHeartMedia and Cumulus have been a bust.
We’ve only managed to get on one iHeartMedia station: KKZX 98.9 FM, Spokane, Wash., carried the show from 2012-14. KQCL 95.9 FM, Faribault, Minn., carried the show in 2011 when it was owned by Cumulus.
“I loved the show when we were airing it and heard from quite a few listeners when we had to drop it,” then-KQCL Program Director Mike Eiler told us in 2012. “Unfortunately, Cumulus spent the last year shedding most of the barter programs and replacing them with shows that they produce or own.”
It’s most frustrating when we find local programmers who desperately want to add our show, but find it impossible to get sign-off from their corporate higher-ups.
We’ll always be happy to add to our network any station that shows an interest in “Floydian Slip.” But, going forward, we’re focusing our efforts where there’s the most chance for success.
Thanks to all of our affiliate stations for signing on and shining on.
And, if you’re a regular listener to “Floydian Slip,” be sure to let your local affiliate station know you’re a fan.
hi!..I live in Valparaiso Indiana USA we have a local classic rock radio station called X-Rock 103.9 they are located in crown point..they have at least 2 or 3 syndicated radio programs and locally, they also play some of pink Floyd’s music…i think we should get your show on this station on ether Saturday, or Sunday nights, whichever works best…please look up this station’s website, and make an offer..and let us know what they say…if they will accept, or not?
That’s WXRD. We’ve been pitching them since 2012, without success. You can contact them and put in a good word for us: http://xrock1039.com/general-mailbox/. You can also search our database of stations and contact stations on our behalf en masse: https://www.floydianslip.com/radio-show/markets.php
To Novak and anyone who is reading this from markets w/o F.S. – It does mean something when fans of a station make contact and ask. Just be courteous in explaining your fandom of both the station and Floydian Slip.
