Ed Salamon
Edward R. Salamon is an American entertainment industry executive and radio broadcaster. He is credited as one of the forces that led to country music becoming a major force in the mid-1990s. He was dubbed “country radio’s most influential programmer” 〔DeMarche, Edmund. (“No City For Country Fans” ), ‘’Columbia News Service’', April 28, 2009. Retrieved on April 16, 2013〕〔Rose, Jim. (“Jim Rose Remembers Radio, Issue 976” ), May 23, 2011. Retrieved April 16, 2013.〕 while programming WHN, New York, which became the most listened to country radio station of all time in the mid-1970s, an accomplishment that led to his induction into the Country Radio Seminar Hall of Fame in 2006.〔(“Past Radio Hall Of Fame Inductees 2006” ) Country Radio Seminar Retrieved on April 16, 2013.〕〔Helton, Lon. “Ed Salamon Country Radio Hall Of Fame”. ‘’Radio and Records’’, February 17, 2006, p. 50.〕〔’’Nashville Star Ed Salamon Guides Country Radio’s Skyward Thrust’’. ‘’Radio Ink’’, February 19, 2007, cover story.〕
Salamon’s success at WHN encouraged the establishment of country radio stations in other urban and non-traditional country markets, which greatly expanded the audience for country radio, and, in turn, increased the exposure of country music.〔Levy, Lawrence C. ‘’Nashville’s Bite of The Big Apple’’. ‘’New York Times’’, July 4, 1976.〕〔Carr, Patrick. ‘’WHN: The Real Story’’. ‘’Country Music (magazine)’’, May 1976.〕 He has been credited with reinventing country radio because his programming techniques, viewed as radical at the time, were emulated by other broadcasters, many of which went on to greater successes in the radio industry.〔 After WHN, Salamon headed a succession of national radio networks for twenty consecutive years.〔〔〔Vassilaros, Dimitri. ‘’Reinventor of Country Radio Format Acknowledges The Power Of Giving’’. Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, February 15, 2003.〕
==Early career==
Salamon began his radio career in 1970 as assistant promotions manager and director of market research for KDKA in Pittsburgh. Upon his promotion to music director, he applied the methodology used for sales research to programming.〔〔Duncan, Jim. ‘’The R&R Interview - Country - WEEP’s Ed Salamon’’. ‘’Radio and Records’’, February 21, 1975.〕 His techniques led to his being hired, in 1973, for his first job as program director, at country-formatted WEEP, a Pittsburgh daytime-only AM station, which was virtually at the bottom of the local radio ratings. At WEEP, he furthered his use of research for programming and became the first country radio program director to adopt the formatics, most notably short playlists, used in Top 40 Radio. Under Salmon’s guidance, WEEP became second rated only to KDKA in The Pittsburgh Total Survey Area.〔〔〔Kalina, Mike. ‘’The Music Makers: Read It and WEEP’’. ‘’Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’’, April 23, 1974.〕〔Ieraci, Ron. (“Ed Salamon” ). ‘’Old Mon Music’’, March 13, 2010. Retrieved on April 16, 2013.〕
