Read MoreAndrew Cuomo’s “In Basket”
Amidst the craziness of the ongoing political and economic insanity, you may have missed the news that John McCain says he is considering New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo for chairman of the Security and Exchange Commission – that is, if McCain is elected President. It’s an interesting idea, and another indication that McCain will […]
Read MoreVideo Made The Radio Star
With apologies to MTV and the Buggles, a new study shows the importance of video streaming in the Internet world – among Boomers. A new study by the NPD Group shows that a majority (61%) of Boomers web users have streamed video. Leo Laporte said the same thing during our recent Summit and NAB sessions […]
Read MoreGenerating Your Own Buzz
I don’t know about you, but I stopped caring about Katie Couric a couple of days after her anchor debut on the CBS Evening News. Part of my disinterest is due to the fact that most of my news consumption occurs on cable channels like MSNBC and CNN, or simply online at various news and […]
Read More"Be The 9th Texter Right Now…"
I don’t know about you, but every time I hear a station take the 9th caller (especially with those touchtone sound effects), I get flashbacks to Mr. Mister and decades that I’d just as soon forget. It just sounds dated, and is perhaps a subtle reminder that radio unknowingly continues to use antiquated techniques and […]

Read MoreSame Game – New Rules
Tom Shales, legendary TV critic for The Washington Post, has seen the tube go through lots of changes. From cable to satellite to DVRs, and from black & white televisions to flat screen plasmas. In a recent column, he also discusses the demise of television "seasons," network control of what we watch, and the rising […]
Read MoreThey're Not That Conservative
Today’s blog is from our own Keith Cunningham who speaks on radio needing to step it up and take "risks" to improve its quality by embracing new digital initiatives.

Read MoreReady For Some Good News?
It’s getting tougher out there, and I thought that on a Friday, perhaps you could use a bit of good news before you head out for the weekend. The RAB showed a video at the NAB Convention that is "Must-See TV" for anyone in radio. It’s linked below, and really does a nice job of […]
Read MoreDrives Me Nuts
Today’s guest blog is from our own Paul Jacobs, who provides insight on how advertisers can better connect with consumers by advertising more with radio. While glancing at a recent copy of Automotive News, I saw yet another headline about where automobile advertising is going – downhill. This article points out that not only will […]
Read MoreWish We Were Here
Last week, Pink Floyd’s Richard Wright passed away, another of those sad but not surprising Classic Rock passings. At these moments, we make it a point to look and listen to how stations handle these big music news events. While a few clients and other Classic Rock stations acknowledged Wright’s career (a few Floyd songs […]

Here we are, scurrying to get our Summit videos on our web site so you can see them. And guess what? Some of them have already been posted – and not by us. Someone at our Nikki Sixx session, who goes by the name of linkinparkchazyb, shot video and posted it on YouTube within 24 […]
Read MoreWe're Linked In – Now What?
OK, at the risk of sounding like an asocial networker, I keep wondering what we’re all accomplishing on LinkedIn. I have to give the creators of this business-focused social networking site a lot of credit. It seems like just about everyday, someone wants to be linked in with me. I’m just not sure why, or […]
