How can we take advantage in news/talk with content and/or listener-engaging events that can engage beyond the die-hard political base? Think about how sports are able to hyper-engage their audience and grab the casual sports fans.
Trying new voices, testing digital opportunities, taking chances on content that may not be perceived as “traditional” in the News/Talk space, and experimenting with imaging, bumpers, and liners are all logical steps.
