Red Light’s Foster On Greenlit Awards Red Light Management announced the hiring of veteran label executive Fletcher Foster today, the same day that FOX-TV announced the American Country Awards, for which Foster is co-producer. Country Aircheck spoke to Foster for some ACA insight shortly after his plane landed in Red Light’s home base of Charlottesville, VA this afternoon. But before he offers a more detailed vision for the show, discusses the reception the idea received in Nashville and previews radio’s involvement, a few words about the new day job... Beyond his management role at Red Light – which represents Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and Capitol newcomer and television star Jennette McCurdy among others – Foster will be “a key part of [RLM’s] senior management team.” He’ll work with company founder Coran Capshaw (Dave Matthews Band) and oversee the Nashville office, which recently relocated to 124 12th Avenue South. As for the awards, Foster explains, “FOX was looking at the synergy they had between American Idol and country music, just in terms of how many finalists have gone on to country careers. They wanted a live, fan-voted awards show.” Securing Nashville’s support was important. “[Producer] Tisha Fein and I were in town last week meeting with all the label heads, booking agents and key managers getting feedback on how to make this show artist friendly,” Foster says.

Walk Star Jimmy Wayne After breaking his right heel 48 miles from the finish, Jimmy Wayne completed his 1,700-mile Meet Me Halfway walk for homeless teens at Phoenix’s HomeBase Youth Services Sunday (8/1). “I was literally on my last leg,” Wayne told us Sunday (8/1). “[I was] coming down this hill [and] I was in so much pain. I ended up walking 43 miles on this broken foot. The last five miles, I walked in a boot. It was excruciating.” Several hundred MMH supporters, a marching band and local stations KMLE and KNIX encouraged him to push through to the end. KMLE morning co-host Tim Hattrick documented the grand entrance into HomeBase here. KNIX’s ever-present Barrel Boy walked much of the final leg with Wayne, keeping a running videoblog here.

“I really don’t know how to put it into words,” Wayne said afterwards. “It was really inspiring to see all those people walking. When I go back and look at the video content I’m going to realize how overwhelming it was.” Wayne will continue to raise awareness when he returns to Nashville and hopes that his effort wasn’t in vain. “It’s one step at a time,” he said. “We just have to keep on pushing. It can’t stop here, that’s for sure.” Watch the presentation video, including a Wayne speech and homeless youth testimonies, here.

My Tunes: Music ThaT shaped My Life
KRYS/Corpus Christi, TX PD Frank Edwards discusses his most important songs, artists or concerts: 1. George Strait, Strait Country: This was the first cassette I ever owned. Pretty much the greatest piece of music ever recorded.2. Garth Brooks, Kansas City, Nov. 1990: We were there for the National FFA Convention, and my high school ag teacher bought us tickets to the show. I can’t describe how cool it was.
3. Jack Ingram, Livin’ Or Dyin’: I’ve been a huge fan of Jack’s for years, and I listen to that one all the time.4. Chris LeDoux: He is my favorite singer of all time, and one of my heroes. “Just Look At You Girl,” “Bareback Jack” and “County Fair” are some of my favorite songs.5. Taylor Swift, Corpus Christi, March 2010: It was my five-year-old daughter’s first concert, and I took her back as my guest to meet Taylor. When she walked in, my daughter looked at me and said, “Daddy, Taylor Swift is real.”• A highly regarded song or album you’ve never heard: The next George Strait album. • An “important” piece of music you just don’t get: Dr. Dre’s The Chronic. Chronically what?• An album you played or listened to incessantly: The Essential Keith Whitley album. • One obscure or non-country song everyone should listen to right now: “Broken Bones” by Kelly Kenning. He’s a local Texas artist, and it is a great song.

minute performance can an artist give that will help sell some record going into the primetime sales month. “People were reluctant at first and there’s certainly the ‘why do we need another awards show’ reaction, but everyone was enthusiastic by the end. This does not compete with the ACMs and CMAs. Look at the FOX demo: The key is to create a show that doesn’t look like those other shows and connects with a demo that skews to people in their twenties and thirties. That’s the demo you want to reach as you’re going into the buying season.” The Dec. 6 air date offers advantages beyond proximity to holiday sales. NASCAR’s Cup Series Championship Week precedes the awards, which are also right in the middle of the annual National Finals Rodeo. “Those are key cross-marketing opportunities,” Foster says. “NASCAR has gotten away from its core a little bit and sees this as a great opportunity to get back that country and racing fan. We’ll probably see some specialty programming on the Speed network and FOX Sports to support the awards.” The venue will likely be one of the major casinos; negotiations with several are underway now. And radio will be there. “We’ve talked about radio being key in driving the voting, having flyaway promotions and radio remotes,” Foster says. “FOX is already putting together a plan for that, because radio is that direct line to consumers and they’ll give it that reality check with the voting.” Categories already announced include Artist, Album, Touring Artist and Music Video by a Breakthrough Artist. Don’t expect other categories to hew to traditional forms. “We don’t need another entertainer of the year or male and female vocalists,” he says. “We may look at things like Best Tour Package or Best Summer Song as a way to be relevant and reflect what has gone on in the past year. And the host will be someone from country, but we’d like to give an opportunity to somebody who hasn’t hosted before.” Foster also says FOX is committed to the concept beyond this year. “Next year’s big fall series will be X-Factor, and they’re really setting the [ACA] show up this year with the idea of it getting a tremendous amount of promotion from that next year.” CAC
