“You have to make yourself versatile, and you have to be able to adapt and change. It doesn't necessarily mean you have to give up on your dream. "

Lainey Wilson / “Somewhere Over Laredo” is on the way to being another super smash, judging by all the early believers at radio!

“Specialty Programming” is at the top of my programming pyramid for a reason. It’s the special sauce for your station to stand out from the competition.

Top 40/Hot AC: Ariana Grande / “Twilight Zone”, another catchy song from Ariana with more than seven million streams this week.

My intention is to bring to you a few songs each week that I believe programmers, APDs, and Music Directors need to know about and possibly consider.

"Surround yourself with people that believe our best days are ahead – can’t tell you how game-changing it’s been for me"

I think there is some sense in the idea that one all-news radio station is really all the city can sustain, but it’s about cash more than anything from the LMA to the AFTRA contract to the sales commissions.

The state of the state on Top 40 at the moment seems to be coming out of the doldrums that we've heard so much of over the years.
