MusicMaster in Michigan
MusicMaster's Malcolm Sinclair and Shane Finch joined hundreds of members of the Michigan Association of Broadcasters for the Great Lakes Broadcasting Conference in Lansing, MI. Our MusicMaster team enjoyed the Michigan hospitality and the opportunity to visit with longtime MusicMaster users, including Stephen Schram, Executive Director/General Manager of Michigan Radio in Ann Arbor. Steve was the Program Director of Milwaukee's WZUU, where MusicMaster Founder Joe Knapp was employed when he created the software. Steve was MusicMaster's first software scheduler in its 1983 introduction, and a longtime encourager to Joe during the 32 year journey.

QUICK TIP: Rotating Grids
The Format Scheduler gives you the option to rotate your assignment grids. Rather than using the same clock in the same hour day after day, by creating multiple assignment grids, you can then use the Format Scheduler to cycle through those grids. You'll pick the grids you wish to rotate and the order you want them to rotate in. Even if you simply clone your current assignment grid, rearrange the clocks and rotate just the two grids, you'll introduce a freshness to your logs. Of course, the more grids you rotate, the more interest there will be. Either way, the end result is more variety for your audience and it will probably drive your competition crazy trying to figure out how you are scheduling. Of course, you'll know you're using the number 1 scheduling system--MusicMaster!
