2015: Episode 7

[coolcastplayer id=”7″]

Ryan Wild is not only the Music Director of Indie/Alternative at AOL, but when we recorded this interview he was also the OM/PD of two terrestrial Chicago stations, WZSR-FM and WFXF-FM. He has since been hired by NRG to be the Operations Manager of Classic Rock KOOO-FM, Hot AC KQKQ-FM, and Urban CHR KOPW-FM.

In this interview, he talks about:

• On average week, Ryan adds records to 15-20 radio stations
• The AOL data suggests that terrestrial radio bails on records early
• Unlike terrestrial radio, listeners can skip songs on AOL radio
• AOL Radio has a mobile app (iOS and Android)
• Ryan works closely with Mary McCann at AOL

Produced by James Clausen.
