The changes in radio in the past few years lead to concerns about the future .

  • Less diversity and more cookie cutter formats. This has been talked about for 40 years. Not a big deal.
  • Less advertising revenue. Just a change, not an ending.
  • Less  listeners. So? Profit anyway.

Radio still has a lot of listeners. Even though things have changed in the past few years, radio is hanging in.

People who change with it can thrive.

Here are my suggestions:

There are many ways to get radio produced, on the air and build a strong audience.

Outsource copy, creative syndication, use independent radio producers, programmers,  sales, news.

Lots of innovations are coming to radio. These changes might seem like the symptoms of a broken machine but they are all just changes.

Some winners some losers, nothing new really. Nobody knows exactly what form the changes will take. But there are plenty of predictions-

“ I may be in the minority on this one, but I do think that in today’s economy, radio affords some of the juiciest creative opportunities, at a bargain price. A radio revival could be just the thing to beat the recession blues.”
