There should be a daily meeting, even if it's to touch base. Even a small one- or two-person music-intensive morning show is important to the success of a station. The staff, beginning with the PD, should be trained (for lack of a better word) to become a silent partner on the show. I once had a sales person who was sooo plugged in to the community. He was always feeding me tidbits that I could pass on to the morning show in our daily post-show meeting. Frankly, every PD or OM should be an extension of the morning show (if he's not on it).

The sad part is though, if he didn't get that, he'd probably wouldn't be very good nurturing the morning show regardless. Pretty much common sense, that is all too uncommon in radio.
