"You've got to think of your audience, especially our audience," said Stevens of WQXK. "As with most country radio stations, our primary demographic is (ages) 35 to 54. They don't want to hear that." But, as WGAR's Matthews noted, "at this point, it's a moot point." And, for Lovett, a mute point. HIGHLIGHTS neup after the semi-amicable departure of sports guy Steve French. French, whose banter with Matt Patrick has been one of the strongest elements of the city's third-most-popular wake-up service, has decided to devote his attention to sports play-by-play announcing.

A former TV mouth for both the Cavs and the Force, French recently signed to call Youngstown State University's football and basketball games. A similar job with the fledgling Youngstown Pride pro basketball team this summer forced him to miss more WKDD morning shows than the WKDD executives wanted him to miss. The station strongly suggested that he make up his mind. French also reportedly was peeved that WKDD reduced the length of his sports segments when the morning show was revamped earlier this summer. The announcer has changed his home phone number (to avoid calls from columnists?) and could not be reached for comment.

WKDD is on the lookout for a replacement. WKNT (1520-AM), the almost-forgotten sister station of WNIR (100.1-FM), has sacked two-thirds of its three-member announcing staff but plans to continue with its country format, according to Vice President Bill Klaus. Former WDBN announcer Tom Cullison replaces morning man Garry "The Captain" Fedele, and Jim Cavanaugh steps in for afternoon voice Mike Mace. Ells there no justice? WQMX (94.9-FM), the new Medina station that will relocate to Akron this fall, threw an introductory luncheon for about 200 prospective clients Thursday at the Cascade Holiday Inn. The climax of the affair was a drawing for a five-dayfour-night trip to the Super Bowl in Miami in January.

The winner? A travel agent, Pete D'Attoma, owner of DaVinci World Wide Travel in Akron. John Gorman, who became one of the best-known executives in radio while at WMMS (100.7-FM) before making an ill-fated jump to WNCX (98.5-FM), where he was quickly fired, has signed two more stations to his consulting business. They are top-40 entries WQIO (93.7-FM) in Mount Vernon (near Mansfield) and WMJQ in Buffalo, N.Y. Ef For the second time in two years, the College of Wooster has boosted the power of student-run WCWS (91.9-FM). In 1986, the station was jacked up to 890 watts.

This month, it became 3,000 watts. Faculty adviser Amos Kiewe says the new signal can reach 1 million people in 11 counties. Kiewe apparently is a man of great courage. MCA records tried to do country radio stations a favor when it issued two versions of its new Lyle Lovett single, If I Had a Boat. On one side of the record, Lovett warbles a line about kissing a certain part of his anatomy.

On the other side, in a version for more conservative stations, he substitutes "adios" for the potentially offensive line. Good move. Except when the record was pressed at the wax factory, the labels got switched. Oops. The area's three top-ranked country stations all managed to dodge the bullet because none of them played the song.

"The record wasn't a hit," said Allan Matthews, program director of Cleveland's WGAR (99.5-FM1220-AM). "It really hasn't moved yet," said Chuck Stevens, programmer at Salem's WQXK (105.1-FM). Rick Cardarelli of WSLR (1350-AM) in Akron said he hasn't played it either but "probably" would eventually because Lovett is popular with Akron listeners. "The cleaned-up version," he added quickly.
