00:00:00.046 --> 00:00:03.566 A:middle
>> My name is Becca Lynn, I do the
Morning Show on Cat Country 96,

00:00:03.566 --> 00:00:05.816 A:middle
and we're coming up on 13 years
that we've been doing the show.

00:00:06.156 --> 00:00:10.276 A:middle
The show starts at 5 AM and our
first on air break is around 5 10.

00:00:10.396 --> 00:00:12.626 A:middle
So my day starts at 3 30 AM.

00:00:12.796 --> 00:00:16.116 A:middle
You know, I have several cups of coffee
and I kind of get ready for the day.

00:00:16.566 --> 00:00:20.226 A:middle
And when I get to the station, it's
opening a whole bunch of websites.

00:00:20.226 --> 00:00:26.706 A:middle
I open weather websites, I open websites
for show content that involve who's,

00:00:26.756 --> 00:00:30.676 A:middle
what celebrity is having a birthday today, or
what crazy stories are coming out of Florida,

00:00:30.986 --> 00:00:35.076 A:middle
checking social media, what's trending, to
find out, again, what people are talking about,

00:00:35.076 --> 00:00:37.466 A:middle
what they want to talk about, and
things that they want to hear.

00:00:37.816 --> 00:00:43.826 A:middle
An example of an absolute crazy, crazy
morning would probably be the 7 o'clock hour,

00:00:43.826 --> 00:00:46.686 A:middle
which is what we consider to be the power hour,

00:00:46.686 --> 00:00:48.616 A:middle
because most people are getting
up, they're getting ready for work.

00:00:48.616 --> 00:00:50.466 A:middle
They may start at 8, they may start at 9.

00:00:50.856 --> 00:00:55.166 A:middle
We have a ticket giveaway at
10 after 7, so we've got that.

00:00:55.366 --> 00:00:56.926 A:middle
In between giving away of those tickets,

00:00:56.926 --> 00:01:00.916 A:middle
we're also recording our national
shows for the syndicated programs.

00:01:01.246 --> 00:01:05.906 A:middle
So we're getting a ticket winner, we're
recording national shows, I'm also preparing

00:01:05.906 --> 00:01:10.346 A:middle
for my news break coming up at 7 30, we
get the winner, we talk to that person,

00:01:10.496 --> 00:01:13.676 A:middle
hopefully we get something good
that we can air, yay, she's excited,

00:01:13.676 --> 00:01:17.966 A:middle
she won tickets to a concert, airing the
phone call, talking a little bit more,

00:01:17.966 --> 00:01:20.886 A:middle
playing a couple of more songs,
going into the news break.

00:01:20.886 --> 00:01:25.036 A:middle
The news break has to be a local and a
national story, and then what we call a kicker,

00:01:25.036 --> 00:01:29.836 A:middle
which is a kind of funny, ridiculous
story that makes people laugh.

00:01:29.836 --> 00:01:35.406 A:middle
And I play the role of, typically what's,
a generator, so I'll generate the story

00:01:35.406 --> 00:01:39.776 A:middle
and I'll generate the topic, and then my
partner, Sam, he will provide the joke.

00:01:39.776 --> 00:01:41.456 A:middle
He'll provide the one line to make people laugh.

00:01:41.936 --> 00:01:43.946 A:middle
Then we do the weather, then
we do some commercials,

00:01:43.946 --> 00:01:46.376 A:middle
and then we have another benchmark at 7 40.

00:01:46.476 --> 00:01:50.916 A:middle
And that's where we play a game, whether
it's reciting lines from a movie,

00:01:51.206 --> 00:01:55.406 A:middle
or it's playing a clip from a movie, asking
a trivia question, playing some other silly,

00:01:55.406 --> 00:01:58.026 A:middle
ridiculous game that we've come
up with over the past 13 years,

00:01:58.026 --> 00:01:59.416 A:middle
and then giving away another prize.

00:02:00.006 --> 00:02:04.936 A:middle
And then we come up to about 7 50, another
news break, more traffic and then we hit,

00:02:04.936 --> 00:02:06.836 A:middle
so that's an hour, that's just one hour.
