LOS ANGELES, CA / WILMINGTON NC — If current headlines are to be believed, commercial radio’s decline in popularity is second only to that new movie about some old painter’s code in terms of the sheer number of conspiracy theories associated with it. “Podcasting and MP3 players are stealing radio’s audience, according to the latest figures from the Bridge Ratings!” screams one industry trade mag, while another opines, “Every year, radio programming is produced with smaller and smaller budgets by fewer and fewer people with more and more smoke and mirrors: cookie-cutter music formats, overuse of syndication, and tighter, more repetitive playlists filled with inferior songs. All this is combining to devastate the format!”
Whatever the root cause, one fact can’t be denied: there IS a problem, as some 10,000 program directors, music directors, promotions directors and on-air broadcasters have been handed their headphones and shown the door in the last six years. It’s no wonder that in this crisis, cutting-edge radio hosts are reaching out like never before to find talent in the adult industry that can deliver solid, provocative programming, while still keeping the language conservative enough to outfox the hawks of the FCC. And it also comes as no surprise that in this era of anxiety, the hosts of WXQR FM 105 PURE ROCK (NC) have found the perfect adult spokesperson in glorious 2005 Best Actress Award Winner & WICKED PICTURES Contract Superstar JESSICA DRAKE, who’s returning as a special guest of the station’s top-rated CREEDENCE & BISHOP SHOW this coming Monday, May 22nd at 1pm PTZ, 4pm ETZ.
A quick glance at her track record will likely convince even the most hardened skeptic that this graceful and intelligent actress is one the adult genre’s most precious assets. After all, this is the same woman who just returned from Sacramento, California, where she met with top-ranking assemblymen and legislators at the state capitol to discuss political initiatives as a part of the FREE SPEECH COALITION’S CELEBRATE FREE SPEECH LOBBYING DAYS. And she’s the same woman who, last year, participated in a photo essay commissioned by the UNITED NATIONS. But as insightful and thoughtful as she may be, lucky WXQR listeners can also look forward to the unexpected, and a touch of the provocative, for jessica drake is a woman of many ideas.
You’re not in the Carolinas? No problem. jessica, Creedence, & Bishop have you covered, as the upcoming interview will be archived for your enjoyment at www.carolinaspurerock.com shortly after its live airing.
jessica’s a gorgeous woman, to be sure, but sheer physical beauty is thin and superficial if it simply sits there asking to be admired like a collection of pretty china plates. So do yourself a favor and listen to Monday’s interview, because every word jessica slings at you is certain to glow with vitality.
