Why bother with voice tracking in a major market. Companies like rogers just don't get it!

and I'M usually the one accused of being so NEGATIVE on this board!  ROFL  

IMHO the CRTC has been hoodwinked for WAAAAY too long by the owners of this frequency (dating back to pre-Rogers).  Time for them to yank the license and hand it to someone who WILL service the quarter-million residents of the Fraser Valley which is written into the POP for the license.  Does the VT morning man from T.O. even KNOW where Chilliwack or Abbotsford are??

Ted is too busy criss-crossing the nation on his goal THIS WEEK of becoming a best-selling author to even CARE what's happening with 104.9

Chilliwack and Abbotsford?  Aren't they beyond Hope?

Voice-tracking in this case can be put together by an engineer in no time. Customize the presentation to make it local can be written by others. The host goes into the booth reads off lets say 6 scripts for the one hour. The engineer will then slot the tracks into the hour or the host will do depending how big of a radio star you are. Rogers also will take recordings from the host current live show and edit out the calls put on another station voice-tracking schedule. The options are endless. The argument is that voice-tracking eliminates jobs at stations. This is true but it also creates other jobs inside the station non air roles. From a salary point of view saves the company money. I'm not a fan myself of voice-tracking and technology can't figure out yet how to voicetrack a talk show because callers need to be live.

What is this 1950? There's no engineer involved. SCOTT + RRR: a one man operation.

And no, Rogers doesn't take live shows and re-edit them for other markets.

There are no jobs created by this.

Yes those who voice track other stations use breaks from live shows for voice-tracking.

It's 2008 not 1950

Yes other in house non air jobs have been created as a result of technology such as webmaster and other jobs roles.    

Give me an example within Rogers of a break being recorded off-air, edited, and used as a VT.

Also, the jobs you mentioned aren't created as a result of VTing, as you said.

I know for a fact one who does voice tracks uses the live show audio transfers to VT show.

Wow, that's specific.

Many will use some of the same bits, but they're not recorded from show audio. They're just re-read.

Think about it, a typical Vt'd break:
Station Name/Backsell/How you doin' my name is/Listen for the sound of the jet/Elton John up next.

What's useable for another station?
How you doin' my name is

Stop making things up.

Look my facts are correct will not provide details in this forum but show audio is pulled and repackaged. That's very specific.

Sure it is.

Just get to your point so it can be debunked.

[edit: deleted post above by GTB asked how many VT booths Rogers has at Ash St.]

Get out the popcorn and beer folks, this is BETTER than UFC!  

"In this corner......."   etc

I proved my point next time you hear a voice track it's been used before. Aaron maybe they voice track parts of the news what do you think?  

You betcha you did, Ms. Palin.
