Music

• Daily music logs - Need to find a song title for a listener, or need to make sure the music flow of any shifts originating from your studios matches Salem’s music flow?  Get our daily music logs!  These list hour-by-hour, every single song to be aired on the network.  Access them online.

• BMI logs - Have music logging requirements for BMI or ASCAP?  Send these agencies a copy of our BMI logs.  They contain all the reporting information required by the music licensing organizations and can be obtained online.  Or, if you’d like, simply mail us a floppy disk (in a padded envelope, please) and we’ll copy the logs you need right onto your disk.

Liners & Voicework

• Localization - If making your network feed sound like it’s originating from your own studio is important to you, you'll be happy to know that all the current things you would (should) normally be touching upon in any locally-originated airshifts can also be handled through the network.

From station events, contests, programs or special guests, to weather, traffic, news and concert calendars, we can give your listeners that "right from your local studio" feeling.  It's all creatively and expertly handled through the myriad of free liner production available through network staff.  For complete details on each of these areas, see some of the following items and check out "Using Network Liners" found online.

Note that recorded station liners are available on an as-needed basis to all affiliates from all full and part-time Salem staff.  There is no charge.

• Contest Enactments - Got a local contest going on?  Our staff is happy to pre-record contest enactments.  Some affiliates simply have the appropriate network air personality voice a message like, "Spirit FM has Jaci Velasquez concert tickets and if you're my 5th caller to 333-3333, you win a pair."   

• Traffic, news and weather tosses - Create interaction between the on-air personality and your local news, traffic or weather voice.  Network "tosses" do the trick!  (i.e. "Spirit 103.1- I’m Scott Thunder and Jeff Andrews is here now with this morning's trivia contest plus today's forecast").

Network Interaction

• Weekly Affiliate Newsletter - Our staff updates you on Salem events and news each Thursday via our Affiliate newsletter.  View it online, receive it via email or have it faxed to you.

Production

• Sharathon promos - We're happy to voice these free of charge to all stations holding Sharathons.  Send us your desired 30 or 60 second scripts, or if needed, we'll be happy to write some for you.  We’ll have all full-time staff voice these for your use before, during and after Sharathon.

• Station Image Voice -  Need a Big Voice to image any of your non-Salem programming?  Whether it's an image voice for your local news report ("Good morning Poughkeepsie, It's Poughkeepsie's latest news next on the Family Friendly Morning Show with Doug and Kim right here on Spirit 103.9") or an image voice for another programming segment ("Here's the James Dobson Family Commentary, sponsored by Arbuckle Counseling Center and Spirit 103.9"), Salem air personalities can be hired to voice these and give your station a cohesive sound.   Most staff can voice a page of 10 Image Voice elements for approximately $100, depending on voice talent desired.  Call for current rates.

• Commercials, Promos and Grant Announcements - Need extra voices to use on your production?  Several of our affiliates have joined the Salem Affiliate Voice Talent Pool which is comprised of station personnel willing to do free voicework for another affiliate so long as that second affiliate will do free voicework for them.  Visit online for a list of participating stations and contacts.

Also, Salem full-time airstaff is available to  voice your commercials, grant announcements or other necessary promos.  Most staff members charge $175 per spot.  Call for exact pricing.

Additional Staffing

• Extra holiday staff available at no charge -  Can't find enough people to cover all your on-air hours over the holidays?  Regardless of how much network programming you've contracted to air, we make available, free of charge, extra network hours so you can easily cover the major holidays.  Look for details each holiday season in your weekly network newsletter.

• Extra hours to cover ill employees - Have someone call in sick at the last minute?  Need a quick and easy way to cover their airshift?  Simply fill out a network authorization grid detailing the emergency network hours you need, fax it to us and we'll do our absolute best to be sure you get network audio ASAP.

Appearances

• Remotes - Need a member of your network staff to emcee a concert or appear at other station events?  Although we can't accommodate all requests, staff members are often available to appear for $250 per day plus expenses (travel, food, lodging).  Call for availabilities.

• On-Air Sharathon Workers - Several of our air personalities come from non-commercial backgrounds and bring a wealth of Sharathon experience.  They're frequently available to work with you during your Sharathon.  Cost is $250 per day plus expenses (travel, food, lodging).  Call for availabilities.

Free Online Support

• Just about all forms, information, documents, logs - just about anything you can think of for that matter - can be found online.  You'll find a special web section just for affiliates which includes all sorts of useful information.
