"Our advertising revenue when I started was 90% from ad agencies. Now, it’s 85% direct, so there’s been a really big difference in how business is done as well."
"The university said it will not allow overnight camping at the coliseum. Instead, fans can begin lining up at the north and east entrances at 5:15 a.m. Saturday."
I'm not saying this removes any concerns that persist, but it is also a clear sign that the narrative of radio as dead simply isn't grounded in reality.
"You can find something of value in almost everyone you speak to. And I think that really helps make people comfortable and sort of gets the partisanship out of the way."
When listeners want to feel informed, entertained, and engaged by talk that actually reflects their lives, their state, or their region, they're not exactly super served by someone broadcasting from a studio 2,000 miles away.
One of the issues with that is the news cycle is moving so fast that an on-demand show from three hours ago may be obsolete. I think that is a challenge we have not fully adjusted to.
