May 3, 2021, Issue 754 Market Analysis: Providence In the March PPMs, Hall WCTK/Providence had and 8.1 share – the second largest of any Country station in the nation (RATS 4/22). WCTK also finished second in both Persons 6+ and Persons 25-54 in the Providence book and has placed in the top two in nine of the past 13 monthlies. Such lofty perches have become routine for “Cat Country 98.1,” so Country Aircheck spoke to PD Kevin Palana and dug into the numbers to understand why. In a challenging year for the Country format, WCTK’s success starts with what Palana calls a “lean and mean” staff. Last May, midday host Courtney Kelley moved to the Cat Country Morning Show joining 10-year station vet Brian Kevin Palana Mulhern. Then in July, longtime PD Bob Walker transferred to the company’s Florida stations; The Zodiac Chiller: KRWQ/Medford, OR’s Bryce Burtner (r) Palana found himself adding programming to his Dir./Production and and Top 40 sister KIFS’ Gemineye present the $165,195 raised afternoon drive responsibilities. Rounding out the moves was the addition during their 18th Annual St. Jude Radiothon, pushing the cluster’s of part-timer Brendan Sharp to track the last three hours of the midday total to more than $3 million since 2004. shift, with Kelley tracking the first two. While the pandemic forced many stations to broadcast using alternate Music For Mom setups, Cat Country’s small staff With Mother’s Day coming up this weekend, meant they could continue business Country Aircheck compiled a list of some of the as usual in their studios while biggest “mom songs” to help with programming, maintaining social distance. whether for imaging or spiking-in over the Palana says the lockdown played weekend. Let us know if we missed any using a part in WCTK’s ratings gains over #CAMusicForMom. the past year. “The station that’s taken the hit here is the AC [WWLI], the at-work station,” he says. “When people have a LAUREN ALAINA/Like My Mother Does (2011) choice, they gravitate toward the Rock station [WHJY] or Cat TUCKER BEATHERD/Momma And Jesus (2017) Country.” Though WKLB/Boston does put a listenable signal GARTH BROOKS/Mom (2014) into most of the market (and pulled a 1.9 share in the March GLEN CAMPBELL & STEVE WARINER/ book), Palana focuses on WWLI and current market leader The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (1987) WHJY as his primary competitors.

WBZ (Sports) sound the way it did. I was fortunate enough to get to meet her and 5. WPRO (Top 40) have her put me on in weekends. Working at that station for a couple of years was one of the highlights of my radio career. When I’m not living and breathing country, I lean toward Need For CURRENT music that is positive and uplifting – especially considering all the tough things going on in the world. That typically means Speed: Aside from Cat Country’s 30- GOLD 26% Contemporary Christian. I’m a huge fan of Francesca Battistelli, For King & Country and Zach Williams. I also love everything from Pink year heritage, Palana believes there is another 47% Floyd to the Eagles to ELO. We’re seeing awesome growth for Walker Montgomery. He’s simple factor in the RECURRENT 26% got country music in his blood. Literally. And our young artist/writer station’s success: tempo.

And we’re not playing a lot of stuff on the charts.” That even includes some recent number ones, but it doesn’t mean an absence of new music on WCKT. For example, Palana has the current LoCash single in power rotation and says, “Groups like them and Parmalee with more of a rock sound perform well in this market.” Mask In The Glow: Glimpses of a more normal world are slowly returning for Cat Country, which held its first remote broadcast a couple of weeks ago. “We didn’t have any idea what the response would be, but we had a really good turnout,” Palana states. The station is also moving back into contesting mode by giving away tickets to upcoming concerts in Boston as well as a catered, listener-hosted party. “Mobile food trucks are iconic in Rhode Island, so we’re going to bring one to a backyard bash at one lucky listener’s house, following all CDC guidelines,” he explains. Getting into the community and visiting with listeners has other benefits old-school radio pros – meaning anyone who remembers 2019 – can appreciate. “I took a microphone, put it on a mic stand and recorded listeners saying where they were from and how they love the station,” Palana says of the recent remote broadcast. Now armed with copious amounts of local listener sweepers, “Even when we’re jockless, it doesn’t sound that way,” he says. Palana also keeps jingles and primary and secondary voice talent in his arsenal. “We’re big on imaging.” And big, despite running lean. “Between the four of us, we cover everything,” Palana remarks, noting the station’s success is not a recent phenomenon. “I inherited a good situation from Bob Walker; [the station was] already trending up.” That’s a trend Palana and crew fully intend on continuing.
