About 65% of our staff is 30 and younger, which is incredible for an all-news station. I think that’s how we’ve adjusted to what’s going on with media in the market."

"By focusing on the things we can control and produce the most compelling daily team coverage. We are expanding into all the different ways and platforms we can do that, while delivering outstanding results for our advertisers. But also building a powerful company culture."

"Our promise is to put on real life human voices in our radio hosts and podcasters. To ensure that there would always be a human, there had all sorts of consequences from listeners being so thankful for that promise. But also for our own employees."

"We love broadcast radio. We would not have the success we have in digital without the power, connection, and companionship of local radio. We don’t view radio as the growth engine, but as a core part of our DNA and offering. It’s highly differentiated and high impact for both audiences and clients"

"I don't think we're going to back down at any given point in time. We're just going to continue to evolve. Plus continue to put out the best experiences — not just product, but experience — for our fans."

"Having one-to-one relationships with our listeners is something that we need to continually always remember is the bread and butter of our business"

"Our business model all starts with we’re local content creators and not trying to get out of our way as it relates to distribution wherever our audiences are. That's where we want to go. Capped off with not a national sales strategy, but more hyperlocal"

"I think Red Seat Ventures really has a chance of being the next-generation network or next-generation provider for A-list talent. That's certainly our goal."

"We're going to be aggressive and be opportunistic. We're going to throw the old hangups out the door in terms of, ‘oh, this is competition, we can't do a deal with that person.' Why can't we?"
