Magnolia is back! Whew! I am glad to have her back, now the duties are spread out again... So as you would expect I posted Obits and Updated our new sports director's bio. But the rest of the week was left to Strictly things of the auction. Auction, Auction, Auction, Auction... did I mention the Auction. Oh yeah, that is what I have next week. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE PILES OF STUFF AROUND MY DESK WERE FOR! :) Well because of this I have nothing more to speak of, I will leave you here and I will post my last this weekend after my last big project is over, the Auction.

....THE AUCTION IS COMING... I can feel it in my fingers...
Now, we all know that I completed the Obits multiple times a day, updated some staff bios, updated the website multiple times, complete my daily jock talk, typed up the daily radio reminders and Sunrise Reporter, scanned multiple documents, and filed many papers, but heck why not add something else! :) ... That something else just happens to be a BIG something else, The KWON Auction, this is a great opportunity the station has to get there faces out into the public and something that can and will benefit both parties. I log all of the items many different ways, create gift certificates, and get things ready to go for the event day. Typing and typing and logging and logging is what my week consisted of... my poor fingers.

Summer is moving quick...
There are weeks that are crazy and there are weeks that are chill. Thankfully, this week was a "chill" week. This week I did the Jock Talk, the Sunrise Reporter, Radio Reminders, Obits, and filed papers. In addition to this I recorded a VERY difficult commercial! Why you ask, well be cause there were lists and lists and lists.... and lists! Not to mention it was for a ranch supply store, (luckily I grew up on a ranch and new how to say the words and new what it was) so I had to say things like Gall Salve, Bag Balm, vetrycin and more... TONGUE TWISTERS! Plus you had to say it all in a 60 sec snippet! Whew... Maybe you will hear it on the radio, cuz I am NOT going to record it again and post it on here! That is about all for my week! We will see what happens this next week... I am sure I will be even more busy with the Auction coming up!

An unexpected change...
June 28
7:30 a.m. Received a text from Magnolia "I am about to have this kid! You are on your own today!"
7:30 & One second a.m. My text "Like heck you are! Don't let that kid come out we have only practiced jock talk twice and you weren't supposed to have him until the 15th!!!!!"
This is were my Monday morning started. Knowing I could do it, but just a little timid about the whole situation and doing it by myself, I made my way to work! When I got to work as was expected comments came flying in about the baby... and me having to take over her duties! "Jenna you ready to be on the radio?," (Thought: Umm No) "Hey cool intern you think you can handle it," (Thought again: Umm No) "Are you sure you can do this?" (Last Thoughts: Umm No). Well dispite my worries, I have successfully completed my first full week of assuming Magnolia's duties.
I am full time on the Sunrise Reporter. I have also completed my first solo Sunrise Reporter side panel ad. Now I am beginning to get into the grove of things.
This also means that I have now had a full week of Jock Talk on KYFM 100.1 FM Bartlesville Radio! Things work a little differently here than most stations, but none-the-less I have done it! Friends and family think it is cool, of course I am now the famous person they are always talking about, well maybe not! So if you ever are missing me for the next three weeks, you can catch me on www.bartlesvilleradio.com at 1pm to 5pm, Monday-Friday, click the "Listen Now" button in the top right corner of the home page under the KYFM- Your favorite music, and enjoy! Occasionally on this station and the others you can hear some of the commercials that I also have recorded.
Other than this new venture, I have continued to update obits, and all the other daily tasks that I have taken over. This week was also billing so a lot of our time was also spent doing the statements for the month!
That is all of it for now! Stay tuned for more later... or just tune in to me on the radio!

Just another week
Well, it was just another week here at Bartlesville Radio. I continued to help with the Sunrise Reporter, update the obits online, updated other things on the web, and many more things. It was a fairly low key week. While there it was a down week there was still alot that had to be done. Just no more added then there was! I was thankful! So because of this, my blog will be short and sweet!

I'm Jenna Miller...
... and you are listening to The Brightstar 100.1 FM KYFM Bartlesville...
As you might have guessed, I made the decision to fill in for Magnolia in her Jolk Talk in the afternoon hours. So when I have the days were I practice and she teaches me more, I will let you know and you can tune in to http://www.bartlesvilleradio.com/ and click on the Listen Now KYFM-Your Favorite Music in the top right corner. It will be just like having me there with you, except you can just exit out of the listen live box when you get tired of me!
(Note: I will try to post a short note on the days that I do my practice Jock Talks to let you know for all of those interested. Plus, you could just listen for some good music!)
This week was eventful. I managed to get sick woohoo! Nasty colds! But it went away quick because Zicam is so awesome (Note: Zicam did not pay me to say that, nor did they give me a free sample and no Rush Limbaugh did not convince me to take it or say that!)!! Now to the rest of the busy week!
As always I continued to update the Obits, help with the Sunrise Reporter, continued to update the web bios, and many other wonderful duties! Besides the usual, we had the annual KWON Night at the Ballpark promotion event. Anyone gets to come in and get in for free, we hand them some cool freebees and then a ticket that could be the winning one! The entire game, the radio station gives away stuff from our station, money and from businesses who advertise through us!
The other OK Mozart event that we are involved in was on the next night. This year was supposed to be at Woolaroc which is Frank Phillips Ranch (pretty cool might I add- http://www.woolaroc.org/ ), but due to the rain it was moved to the community center. We handed out the programs sponsored by us and just continued to put our faces out there to promote the radio station.
This summer I will be using Macromedia Contribute to update anything on our website. So while I used this my first summer and know how to do most on the program, I am continuing to learn lots! One thing I learned, was how to make a picture clickable to enlarge it!
Other than this, I started to gather information from all the churches in the surrounding area and will be contacting them over the next week! More to come on this...
Now that you know this, you should also know that my 2 year wedding anniversary is on Monday, June 21st. This means that I will be taking an extra long weekend! We are going to Branson, MO, will be hanging out on the lake, seeing some shows, and just having fun!
.... This is Jenna Miller, signing off for the afternoon, hope you have a wonderful evening, see you tomorrow, I will leave you with "Live Like Were Dying" by Chris Allen....

I Am Famous, Well Sort Of
Another full week of work has flown by! There were many things that happened, but one of the biggest was the opening night of OK Mozart in the Bartlesville Johnstone Park. Here we spent time handing out FREE, I repeat FREE t-shirts to the first 500 guests to arrive. Being the main sponsors on the shirt that were used to promote OK Mozart, this was a great way to get peoples attention and to let them know to listen in to our stations. Also, my supervisor was the emcee for the event so it has an even greater impact on the audience.
Last week I also recorded two more commercials and a little snippet for a political radio commercial. Now my family thinks I am famous. Now I can say that I have recorded 2- 60 sec. commercials, 1- 30 sec. commercials, and 2- phrase entries into other commercials. I now know how to record my own commercial and cut it down to size... if I had to, that is. I prefer to play dumb and have Magnolia help me again.
As usually I completed all of my weekly/daily tasks, one being the obituaries online. I also started updating the meet the staff page and will continue doing that until it is done. Soon I will start to put together sales portfolios for the sales people at the station. This will be a collection of sales items and promotions we offer to our clients who are wanting to have a commercial or ad anywhere on our computers, remotes, Sunrise Reporter, or on the air.
This past week, I also began gathering many of the future political candidates and entering those into our computer in order to send them a letter. This letter will let them know of packages for political advertisement, and we are interested in them and their business.
Now that I have completed another week here at Bartlesville Radio, I will have completed even more hours.

To Jock or Not to Jock
Each week seems to be getting busier and busier, which means I have plenty to do. Last weeks duties consisted of odds and ends office duties, put together more of our Dad’s Days promotion boxes, and I finished mailing out all of the trade request letters. I also busied myself with preparation for the auction that is in the end of July.
Our “Night at the Ballpark” promotions event is coming up on June 15th. I edited the letter to our sponsors and prepared those for our salesmen to sign. I was able to make up new Sunrise Reporter ad for a client this week and will be printed for several weeks. I helped with the Sunrise Reporter Community announcements and Radio Reminders, updated the obituaries online, and helped fill out the dog-gone reports.
With Father’s Day coming up we have started to run promotions on our station, the Sunrise Reporter, and with our Dad’s give-a-way boxes. I had the privilege of being part of the new Dad’s Day promo commercial. My part consisted of saying “He’s My Hero.” Because of the need for different voices to be heard on the radio, I will more than likely be used for other commercials.
The lady that I work with the most is leaving on maternity leave mid-July and will be back after the first week of August. One thing she does at the station is her jock talk on KYFM 100.1 FM The Bright Star. The staff here are wanting me to take that over while she is gone. Last week, I started learning how to record jock talk and how you work the system. But needless to say I am still unsure whether I would be able to do it and do it well. The question is whether “to Jock or not to Jock?”
So far I have been learning more about promotions in radio. Really when you think about what it takes to keep a radio station running, much of it is promotion. You have to continually come up with new ways to get the people to listen to your stations.

Eight-thirty to Five
This is a busy time of the year for the radio station. Even for little ol' interns like me! Because I am the promotions intern for the station, that obviously means that I will be helping with promotion!
Total Hours: 37.5 Hours
Since this is my first full week at the station, I will be fully involved in everything going on a day to day basis. The beginning of the week I started in on promotions that are important for the summer and fall events here at the station. I am incharge of updating the Branson,MO attractions contact list. Once I completed half of the updates, later in the week, I printed out trade request letters to mail directly to the marketing managers of these businesses. If these requests go through to the department and get approved to go forward with business, this will provide the station with giveaways, listener promotional incentives, and other great uses. Another task that I completed everyday of the week was updating the obituaries on the internet of the morning and afternoon. Next week begins our Father's Day promotion and I had the duty of putting together the boxes required to accomplish this radio promotions.
This week was the end of the month so Wednesday, was spent doing the monthly billing/statements and being on hand to help during this hectic period of the month. Throughout the week, I spent sometime in the morning learning, watching, and helping with the Community Announcements and the Sunrise Reporter.
Here pretty soon I will start on one of my main jobs for the summer, which is preparing for the annual auction put on by the radio station. After this busy week, I am happy for the holiday weekend to go back home and see family! That way I am up and ready to go again on Tuesday!
Total Hours: 37.5 Hours

A Rude Awakening
6:45 am came to quickly Wednesday. I rolled out of my hotel bed to get dressed for the first day of my internship at Bartlesville Radio. Running out I grabbed a cup of hazelnut coffee to pry my eyes open. When I got to the station it had been up in running way before I was even thinking about getting out of bed! Lucky for me, I have worked at the station two summers before so the transition into the work place was pretty easy. Since, I have had the pleasure of working here before I immediately started work.
Halfway during the summer internship the lady that works at our front desk will be taking maternity leave. When this happens I will be taking over many of her duties. Some of those tasks include: the daily Sunrise Reporter, community announcements, answering the phone, obituaries, and possibly her jock-talk (I am not sure if I want to do that one). During this week, much of the time I spent being taught by her and helping with other duties. Not to mention the fact that I finished filing the papers in record time!
Also, I am very fortunate to work with some very fun and facetious co-workers, which will make this summer go by much quicker. I might even forget the fact that I am living in a tiny hotel room, well, maybe not. Enjoyed the short week!
Total Hours: 23 Hours
