Many air personalities are rude. In the interest of brevity, they rush into content to get off to a quick start. Quickstarts are great, but not when it’s at the expense of connection. And when they reach a high point, they suddenly end the break. Getting out at the right moment is also a valid performance discipline.

- How PPM programming has caused many personalities to be too tight.
- Why ending abruptly on a high note is a mistake.
- The perfect time to attract one more quarter-hour of listening.
