It seems like just days ago when Howard Stern was on terrestrial radio, providing his show to the nation for free. Here we are, in late January, and it’s amazing how satellite radio can suck away presence.
To that end, Preston & Steve (WMMR/Philadelphia) have run boards like these for months now. And as you can see by The Loop message that Johnny B. is now running, the "No Subscription Required" message is gaining traction.
Consumers don’t want to pay for their radio. As long we’re providing it to them in an entertaining (and free) fashion, terrestrial radio will always have a high position in the media hierarchy.
President & Founder at Jacobs Media
Fred Jacobs founded Jacobs Media in 1983, and quickly became known for the creation of the Classic Rock radio format.
Jacobs Media has consistently walked the walk in the digital space, providing insights and guidance through its well-read national Techsurveys.

In 2013, the DASH Conference was created - a mashup of radio and automotive, designed to foster better understanding of the "connected car" and its impact.
Along with providing the creative and intellectual direction for the company, Fred consults many of Jacobs Media's commercial and public radio clients, in addition to media brands looking to thrive in the rapidly changing tech environment.
Fred was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 2018.
