Why Bad Marriage’s Latest Album Proves Classic Guitar Rock Isn’t Done Yet

80’s fun in rock, take me back! Truth be told, I’m an 80’s gal. An MTV kid. A hair band-a-holic and a rock chick through and through. Enter Bad Marriage, a Boston-based five-piece unit. Made up of Jonny Paquin (vocal), Mike Fitz (lead/rhythm guitar), Tommy Skeoch (lead/rhythm guitar), Todd Boisvert (bass), and Michael Delaney (drums).

Bad Marriage has been around for eleven years. The recent addition of former Tesla guitar god Tommy Skeoch in 2023 has rounded out the lineup and brought a gritty energy to their new record. Amazing what a chance encounter on a Monsters of Rock Cruise can produce.

Bad Marriage is charging in with its third release, Match Made in Hell. It rock symphony that combines the attitude of Aerosmith, the aggression of AC/DC, and the blast of Buckcherry back to a modern-day rock band.

It’s east coast attitude with a splash of west coast sleaze. The title track has just entered the Billboard rock charts at #24, and the band’s energetic live performances are gaining fans of all ages enlisting in “The Bad Marriage Society.”

The album delivers 13 knockout bangers that are not only custom-made for live performance but also for partying. I recently caught up with guitarists Mike Fitz and Tommy Skeoch, who discussed finding their sound. They also discussed playing together, their charismatic frontman, and carrying the torch for the bands we grew up on.

A converstion which also birthed the phrase “Masshole” thanks to Skeoch.

*Editor’s Note: Answers have been edited for clarity and length.*

Terrie Carr – The band has been together 11 years. Does it feel like you’ve been together that long?

Mike Fitz – The cool thing is the addition of Tommy [Skeoch]. It almost was a revival and almost like a new beginning to us. That’s the kind of spark and energy I think we needed to rejuvenate as a band and just keep pushing forward.

It was a very exciting time when he [Tommy] joined, and continues to be. We love writing songs together. The band’s been together for 10 plus years, but there’s no stopping now. Especially with this new record, and we are pumped.

Terrie Carr – Tommy, you were in the business when the music business was a business with the Tesla machine. You guys met on the Monsters of Rock cruise a few years back. What was it about the chemistry between you two at first? Two guys talking and then playing guitar together that made you consider this was something worth pursuing?

Tommy Skeoch – One thing was I had heard a lot about them. Then I saw them on the boat, and that really intrigued me. It was the kind of band I could just play with. I loved them, dug their vibe, and wished I could just step in there and rock with them. That’s what I was thinking at that time.

Then on the boat, I met Mike [Fitz]. We had some beers and we were talking about Marshalls, Gibsons, and all kinds of music stuff. Mike’s a real personable guy. If you meet him, you like him. I don’t know what it is about him, but he’s become like a really close friend of mine. I don’t have a lot and I just love him.

Terrie Carr – This is a rock and roll sensibility experience album. That’s what I really love about it. The songs, the video for Match Made In Hell, restores my faith in guitar rock.

Your sound reminds me of that down and dirty vibe of a Bon Scott led AC/DC. I feel there’s an east coast ‘pissed-offness’ to it. Tommy, you bring a little bit of that west coast sleaze from the 80s.

There’s just this down and dirty rock and roll feel and vibe.

Tommy Skeoch – I like that.

Mike Fitz – I think she nailed it dude. I really do!

Terrie Carr – Did you plan it that way, or was the idea of attitude organic?

Mike Fitz – One hundred percent organic. Tommy [Skeoch] was that hidden spice that I think we needed. You nailed it with the east coast pissed off s**t.

Tommy jokes about that all the time. He calls us “Massholes” because the rest of the band is from Massachusetts. That’s what we are!

I actually think it’s a compliment, and it’s true. We do bring a certain sort of edge to it, but Tommy was the missing link. That’s what creates that sound. A big guitar driven sound. We’re happy that people like you are actually listening to it. Actually really listening and noticing stuff.

Plus, the fact that you said we have a sound like that. That’s been my goal my whole life is to be in a band where we sound like us. You said we remind you of stuff. That’s a lot different than you saying we’re ripping off something, or we sound too much like this or like that.

We wanna be able to show our influences, but we also wanna sound like Bad Marriage.

Bad Marriage’s core sound and band members with Tommy’s signature sound is a cool. A cool new thing that I think people are digging, and I hope it continues.

Check out the full interview this week on my Carr Stereo Podcast for more on the album – Match Made In Hell. Also, the band’s charismatic front man Jonny Paquin and how young fans continue to inspire the band.

Why Classic Rock Radio Should Embrace the Creative Chaos March Madness Provides

Why Classic Rock Radio Should Embrace the Creative Chaos March Madness Provides

I have always loved the NCAA Basketball tournament. Ever since Jim Valvano’s Cardiac Kids from NC State pulled off their big March Madness upset, I’ve been absolutely hooked. Even with the advent of NIL money and the transfer portal, the first day of the tournament (writing this on Friday morning) was filled with drama and several upsets.

Beyond NCAA Basketball, it seems like everything else is getting more ridiculous by the day as well. No matter what side of the aisle you tend to identify with politically, or how you feel about pop culture today, there’s a lot of madness for people to digest every day.

That’s the thesis of an article by Felix Mathieu about what he calls an “Absurdgasm,” which refers to the relief consumers feel when brands stop pretending things are normal and fully embrace “a refreshingly creative chaos.” That means stepping away from a perfectly rational roadmap “to take risks, to propose something that doesn’t neatly fit a business case.” As examples, Mathieu cites Krispy Kreme’s Crocs tie-in, Sonic’s Picklerita Slush, and Dunkin’ Donuts scented deodorant.

While those examples may be on a level most Classic Rock/Hits stations can’t really attempt, a similar article titled “Forget KPIs: Vibes, Community and Culture Are How to Build a Brand in 2026” by Bruno Solari and Allison Ellsworth suggests that marketers should “understand the data but don’t rely on it.” They suggest that knowing what it is going to take to make someone “buy with their heart, not their heads” should be the goal.

All of this begs the question: when was the last time your station did something absurd? I’m sure you have a well-researched playlist, surgically constructed clocks, and production that perfectly illustrates your positioner. But when was the last time you threw that all aside for even a single quarter hour?

As always, let me include the necessary disclaimer — this is not an invitation to flush your format and go hog wild with songs and content that don’t fit your listeners’ expectations. But after seeing several articles from marketing experts like the two quoted above, I’ve started to think that perfect playlists aren’t enough to build love for your brand these days.

Maybe start with something simple: play two songs in a row from an artist when it isn’t Tuesday. Play the best side of a classic album on the anniversary of its release. Do a theme block tied to an event or a story in the news. Don’t announce these things ahead of time — just do them with some regularity and the audience will come to expect the unexpected.

Then let’s move on to the air talent. Start by being honest with yourself about whether they have the opportunity, within your carefully designed clocks, to go beyond conveying station business and truly shine as a personality. Then consider whether you have communicated that mission and encouraged them to take risks and talk about unique, interesting content, or if you have stressed the importance of reading the liner cards. Until your talent starts to talk about things that make a listener stop and take notice, they just aren’t going to have much impact or help build your brand.

Finally, look at what your marketing is saying about your station. Many of you are running contests, but is there anything about your station’s giveaway that makes it more memorable than what another station is doing?

And I know when I say marketing we’re not talking about TV spots and billboards, but you do have email newsletters, social media channels, a website, and an app. Is your best and weirdest content getting reinforced to your P1 listeners via these channels, or are they being inundated with boring promos for the same dull contests?

Classic Rock/Hits radio stations are arguably ahead of many other brands because we already know what the consumers want from us — big hit records and music passion mixed with enough interesting moments to keep them engaged. It’s just up to you to deliver.

Is Streaming Broken? AI Fraud at Deezer Makes the Case for Radio

Is Streaming Broken? AI Fraud at Deezer Makes the Case for Radio

You’re busy and your reading time is limited. You likely read trade press, some consumer press, local news in your market(s) and browse social media. My reading list is a little different and runs to publications like The Financial Times. Last Wednesday, it ran an article that made me go “Are you serious?” The headline was “French Music Streamer Deezer Battles Deluge of AI Fraud.”

You already know that it’s not hard to create music with AI. AI programs like Suno and Google’s Lyria 3 and their ilk can create songs in a hurry. The FT reports that scam artists are creating music using AI, uploading it to sites like Deezer, and then listening to it. The system uses bots to run up the number of plays. Deezer then sends the scammers a check for the plays.

You also know that unless your name is Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, or someone in that category of superstar, you don’t get rich from streaming. However, if you upload a lot of AI songs to a streamer and create enough “listens,” there is some real money in the activity.

The sub-headline in the FT Deezer story was “Industry under threat from fraudsters uploading and repeatedly playing tracks created by AI to extract royalties.” Deezer’s CEO, Alexis Lanternier, said that the perpetrators create plays that can game the company’s algorithms that select songs for legitimate Deezer subscribers. As Lanternier put it, fraudsters “manage to get a few euros or dollars (per song) and then, by the end of the month, they make real money.”

How Prevalent is AI Fraud?

Here’s the amazing part: Deezer’s system detected 13 million (!) AI tracks last year. The company said over 60,000 AI tracks are uploaded to the platform every day, which is 39% of the total uploaded tracks. For me, two things stand out: the first is 60,000 AI tracks per day. And if you back out the 39% number, over 90,000 legitimate human-created tracks are uploaded to Deezer every day. Can you imagine over 600,000 new songs performed by humans being uploaded to the Deezer platform each week? Everyone wants to be a star.

If you don’t know about Deezer, it’s a competitor to Spotify, Apple Music, and all the other streamers. Based in Paris, the service is big in France and Brazil, is available in over 180 countries, and offers a “white label” service as well. Here’s another fun fact: Deezer announced a profit of €9 million for 2025, the first profit since the company was founded in 2007.

Spotify has been accused of using AI music in its service. It’s not clear if the company is doing that today, but if you were betting — I mean trading on Kalshi or Polymarket — you would likely place a few dollars on “yes.”

Perhaps Jimmy Iovine, the music industry legend, got it right when he said on a recent podcast that “the streaming services, to me, are minutes away from being obsolete.” His reasoning is that artists want to communicate with their fans. And you can’t do that through a streaming service. Or, at least per Iovine, the streaming services don’t want that. They want to hang on to listeners’ data and use it for their purposes.

The Fix?

Where does music radio fit into this situation? While we’ve seen some AI creeping into the radio industry, it’s been on the presentation side with AI talent. Remember AI Ashley in Portland, Oregon? Joel Denver’s Sonictrek.ai is offering formats that have AI talent, along with websites that offer the opportunity to chat with an AI “person” who knows more about what’s going on in music than any human. However, the music remains the music — created, written, and performed by real human beings. Is it really that different when the choice is no jock, a voice-tracked jock, or an AI jock? If the music is real, I’m not sure.

Maybe music radio needs to be more vocal about what’s going on in streaming. Music on the radio is real, and there are gatekeepers to ensure it stays that way. Some might say we shouldn’t bring attention to a competitor. I remember when XM and Sirius first launched and some radio operators were adamant about not accepting ads for the services. This was before the two merged. Why promote the competition?

How many radio listeners don’t already know about Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, etc.? A pretty small number. But if we point out that radio doesn’t use algorithms and leaves music creation to humans, even if the talent isn’t a live human, the totality might best be summed up in a Led Zeppelin song title: “What Is and What Should Never Be.”

Let’s meet again next week.

Newsmax Joins DirecTV Challenge of Nexstar Media Group Merger with TEGNA

Newsmax Joins DirecTV Challenge of Nexstar Media Group Merger with TEGNA

Newsmax and DirecTV have joined a growing legal challenge to the FCC’s approval of Nexstar Media Group’s merger with TEGNA, marking a significant escalation in the fight over what opponents call unprecedented broadcast consolidation.

The coalition filed emergency motions Saturday in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Those filings seek to halt further integration of the deal while the court reviews the case. A separate petition asks the court to intervene immediately, arguing the transaction closed before meaningful judicial oversight could occur.

Newsmax and cable associations from six states contend the FCC’s Media Bureau approved the license transfer late Thursday. Nexstar then announced the deal’s closure roughly 15 minutes later. Opponents say that the timeline limited their ability to respond.

“Brendan Carr’s decision to rubber-stamp this deal opens the door to the most massive TV consolidation in history – and is an affront to both legal process and the rule of law,” Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy said.

DirecTV formally entered the case on the challengers’ side, arguing the merger would exceed the 39% national ownership cap set by Congress. The company said Nexstar could reach more than 80% of U.S. households. It also warned that increased leverage could drive higher retransmission fees for distributors, costs often passed to consumers.

At the same time, a separate legal effort emerged in California. Eight state attorneys general filed for a temporary restraining order to pause the merger’s integration. They argue the deal would reduce competition, weaken local journalism, and increase consumer costs.

Opponents also question the FCC’s process — noting the Media Bureau approved the $6.2 billion transaction in less than four months without full Commission review.

NHL Reporter Jessi Pierce and Her Three Children Die in House Fire Incident

NHL Reporter Jessi Pierce and Her Three Children Die in House Fire Incident

The hockey community is mourning the loss of longtime writer and media personality Jessi Pierce, who died Saturday in a house fire along with her three children. She was 37. According to authorities in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, a fire broke out at a home on the 2100 block of Richard Avenue at 5:26 a.m. Saturday. In aftermath of the blaze, an adult, three children, and a dog were found dead.

In a statement, the National Hockey League expressed condolences to Pierce’s family while highlighting her impact on the sport and its media coverage.

“Jessi loved our game and was a valued member of the NHL.com team for a decade,” the league said. “We will miss her terribly.”

Pierce built a respected career covering the sport across multiple levels, becoming a familiar and trusted voice in the Minnesota hockey scene through her work with NHL.com and her consistent presence around the Minnesota Wild. She spent the past 10 seasons contributing to NHL.com, where she covered the Wild and provided insight shaped by years of experience reporting on her hometown team.

Colleagues recall her as both prepared and personable, someone who combined reporting instincts with a conversational style that resonated with players, coaches and fellow media members.

Bill Price, editor-in-chief of NHL.com, said Pierce’s passion for both her work and her family stood out immediately to those who worked alongside her.

“She brought energy and enthusiasm to everything she did,” Price said. “She was an absolute joy to talk to and work with, and she will be deeply missed.”

Beyond her written work, Pierce expanded her presence through digital and audio platforms, co-hosting the Bardown Beauties podcast while also contributing to Minnesota sports coverage across multiple outlets. Her social media presence further connected her with fans, offering a blend of analysis, personality and behind-the-scenes perspective.

Hubbard Radio Director of Digital Content Development Phil Mackey called a joy to work with and alongside.

“We are absolutely heartbroken and devastated by the death of our coworker and friend Jessi Pierce (Jessica Hinrichs), as well as her three kids, Hudson, Cayden and Avery,” wrote Mackey via social media. “Jessi was just the best. We all loved her. We’re thinking of Jessi’s husband, Mike, and everyone who was in her orbit.”

Pierce’s path to covering the NHL was not linear, but it reflected a determination to reach a goal she set early in life. After stops in several markets, she established herself in Minnesota and ultimately earned a role covering the league on a national platform.

A graduate of Iowa State University, Pierce gained early experience covering a variety of sports during her college years, building a foundation that would support her later work across hockey media. Her byline appeared in numerous publications, including The Athletic, as she developed a reputation for informed commentary and consistent access.

The Wild also released a statement following the news, calling Pierce a “kind and compassionate person” who served as a dedicated ambassador for the sport throughout her career.

Steve Shannon Announces Departure From 97ZOK After 31 Years

Steve Shannon Announces Departure From 97ZOK After 31 Years

After more than three decades as a familiar voice in Northern Illinois, longtime morning host Steve Shannon is preparing to sign off from 97ZOK, marking the end of an era for one of Rockford’s most recognizable radio personalities.

The station confirmed the news Friday morning through social media, noting that Shannon’s final broadcasts are scheduled for Monday and Tuesday from 6-10 a.m., closing a 31-year run that helped define the station’s identity and connection with its audience.

While the announcement signals a major shift for the heritage brand, Shannon made it clear he is not stepping away from broadcasting entirely.

In a post shared later in the day on the Steve Shannon Show’s Facebook page, he added a lighthearted note about his future, saying retirement is not part of the immediate plan—unless, of course, a winning lottery ticket changes that equation.

“It is true that my last two days on ZOK are Monday and Tuesday, but I’m not retiring,” wrote Shannon via social media. “If the lottery ticket I buy today is the right one, then that might be happening.”

Shannon’s departure brings attention to a career that began in 1989 in Madison, Wisconsin, where he first entered the industry and developed the foundation that would later resonate with listeners in Rockford. After working in multiple markets early in his career, he ultimately landed at 97ZOK in April 1995, a move that would shape both his professional trajectory and the station’s long-term success.

Over the years, Shannon became a staple of the morning drive, building a consistent presence that extended beyond entertainment and into community engagement. 97ZOK’s facebook post confirming the news was flooding with an outpouring of memories and messages of thanks for Shannon’s time with the brand.

Todd Starnes Floats Launching National News Network Following CBS News Radio Demise

With the shuttering of CBS News Radio, nearly 700 stations will need a new national news partner. Todd Starnes is considering filling that gap.

On Friday, May 22nd, CBS News Radio will cease operations, 99 years after its original debut. That leaves a large hole in the national news network realm.

Starnes Media Group owner Todd Starnes has shared that he’s considering launching a new network to help fill the void.

“If anyone at CBS News Radio is looking for employment — send me a message,” Starnes wrote in a post on social media. “A lot of very good broadcasters are losing their jobs, and it’s appalling. The radio industry has been devastated by the corporate giants. They’ve sucked the talent, creativity, and joy out of radio … This could be an opportunity for the creation of a national news radio service that truly is fair and balanced.”

In his statement, Starnes praised CBS News Radio for its breaking news coverage, calling it “the gold standard.” He was critical of the network’s political coverage, however, calling it a “disaster.”

Starnes hosts a nationally syndicated show — The Todd Starnes Show — in addition to serving as owner and morning show host on The Mighty 990 KWAM in Memphis.

News Media Reacts to CBS News Radio Shuttering

CBS News has announced it is ending CBS News Radio, months shy of its 100th anniversary, as part of the latest round of cost-cutting measures.

Launched in 1927, the outlet currently serves approximately 700 stations.

In a statement, CBS News President Tom Cibrowski and Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss said the move was unavoidable.

“While this was a necessary decision, it was not an easy one. A shift in radio station programming strategies, coupled with challenging economic realities, has made it impossible to continue the service,” said CBS News President Tom Cibrowski and Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss. “We are sharing this announcement now to fulfill our commitments to our radio partners and affiliates, which require advance notice of the service’s conclusion.”

Roughly 60-70 CBS News employees are seeing their positions eliminated today. Those associated with CBS News Radio were informed this morning that their final day with the network will be Friday, May 22nd.

“We understand how difficult this news is for our staff and their colleagues, who have worked side by side with us to cover some of the most significant stories of our time,” the memo to staffers continued.

After the news was announced, many took to social media to share their personal connections and recollections of the CBS News Radio brand, and their astonishment that it was going away.

Netflix Adds Jameis Winston As Special Guest On MLB Opening Night Debut

Netflix Adds Jameis Winston As Special Guest On MLB Opening Night Debut

New York Giants backup quarterback Jameis Winston will step into a different spotlight next week, joining Netflix as a special guest for its first-ever Major League Baseball broadcast on Opening Night.

The appearance will coincide with a marquee matchup between the New York Yankees and the San Francisco Giants on March 25, with special coverage scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. ET.

The event represents a significant moment for both Netflix and Major League Baseball, as the broadcast will begin the three-year media rights agreement announced last year.

Winston’s involvement adds an intriguing crossover element to the broadcast, as the New York Giants quarterback brings a personality that has consistently resonated beyond the football field.

Known for his candid delivery and often colorful commentary, Winston has built a reputation as a compelling speaker. Capable of generating viral moments that extend well past traditional sports audiences.

Netflix has already announced their broadcast team for the event. The lineup blends legendary players from both sides of the Opening Night matchup with experienced broadcasters.

Home run king and Giants great Barry Bonds joins the analyst desk alongside former Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo, while Yankees Hall of Fame pitcher CC Sabathia and past Giants star Hunter Pence provide color commentary in the booth.

Elle Duncan will serve as host, while Matt Vasgersian will call the game. Another notable guest appearance announced by Netflix includes comedian Bert Kreischer.

The Opening Night showcase provides an ideal stage for that approach, as it already carries built-in significance as the ceremonial start of the baseball season. Pairing that moment with a high-profile streaming debut and a recognizable guest like Winston creates additional layers of intrigue, particularly for viewers who may not typically prioritize baseball on their viewing schedule.

Winston is no stranger to media appearances. He appeared on FOX Sports coverage of the NFL last year. Also Winston was part of its digital team during Super Bowl week in February of 2025, providing coverage all over New Orleans before the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs met in Super Bowl LIX.
