The Net Untangled is a weekly column looking at the Internet side of the Radio Industry. You can read the Introductory column for a look at how to approach site design, and how to think critically about your site’s presentation.
We took a look, last week, at the reasons why someone might consider getting into web design, even if their main goal is to make it on the programming side of radio. This week will be a good example of why that’s a good idea. Morning shows always want updated websites. If you want to start working on the morning show – offer to be their webmaster – it’s a great way to get your foot in the door.

Since then, we’ve looked at email addresses, domain names and some quick fixes to handle easy to solve problems with big returns. This week we’re going to start a new process to keep the site up to date.
On the Outside Looking In
Unfortunately for many webmasters, “On the outside, looking in” is the position in which they often find themselves. At major market clusters, they are often given a desk in a corner and either not invited to promotional and jock meetings or forced into the wrong ones. In smaller markets, the webmasters either have multiple hats as on air talent or engineers – or they work off-site as part-time contractors. They don’t have the time or the access to stay in constant touch.
Either way, communication is often the first part of the break down that keeps sites behind the on-air product in terms of being up-to-date.

Listener Feedback
Listener email is one of the best things to happen to feedback intensive radio shows. Now listeners can send messages and feedback to jocks and shows when they’re not on the air, and can do so from work at their desk – when a call to a radio station might arouse suspicion that they are not entirely focused on their job. Radio station websites should and do encourage email from listeners. Here are a few tips to help bring in more missives.
