Someone joked about that old picture of me, that I should take my feet off the console. What's funny about that is, this was the pic taken of me by the local paper about me being a 'teen deejay' on local radio. And the first thing the boss yelled at me when the paper came out was, "Take your feet off the console!"
I agree - Once the major market cannibalization is complete, local on-air broadcasting opportunities will show themselves 🎙️ I'm staying aboard for the ride 🎢
“embracing the shrinkage “ is smart. It serves the audience and they like it – I’m referring to really curate and tailor formats, personalities, newscasts, and music to who is turning on the radio. Yes, I said radio, not to stream, but the actual AM FM bandwidth. And streaming what is going over the air.
Micro casting! Is the wave of the future to coexist with podcast, and national satellite in streaming.
Curious, and I say this as a former radio broadcaster myself, does the move to digital listening matter so much? Certainly not more than the move away from radio station listening—whether digital or traditional—to other media (digital music, podcasts, etc). Traditional radio is great because of its readiness and always-on signal. But I’m wondering, if we had the same setup with digital, say I get in my car and my local station begins streaming instantly, how does that impact local radio? It at least means less overhead for the station and more freedom from FFC licensing and oversight. Thoughts?

you'd be pleasantly surprised visiting the midwest as well.
