Late last week I took a road trip to Western New York. If you’re moving (that means speeding), it’s about a 6-hour drive each way from my home in Cincinnati to Orchard Park. Traveling alone here are some of the things I discovered. CONTESTS Did you know you could win $1000 (or “a share…
I remember insightful things people tell me. As I get older, I think my brain may be getting full though. At least that’s what I tell me wife when she’s babbling and telling me something I don’t really need to know. So it’s best I start writing these things down.
The two largest radio companies in America, Cumulus and iHeart Media are BANKRUPT. This means they don’t make enough or have the money to pay their bills and cannot or will not honor their financial commitments.
It’s all very exciting. Each fall, old white guys in ill fitting suits, wrinkled button down collar shirts, unpolished shoes and ties fashionable in 1986, American radio broadcasters if you will, gather in a different city to discuss what’s right and wrong with the radio industry, discuss theories, drink a few beers and return home…
So, four more years is what — The release didn’t specify that. Because I told everybody involved I don’t want any terms announced. I have never, by the way, released that kind of information about my arrangement here. Those numbers have always come from other people. My parents, my dad always told me, “you…
As I predicted in last week’s blog, (Rush Limbaugh) he won’t quit. But, I do have a question for everyone to answer. Where was he going to go?
On the anniversary of his 28th year as a national talk show host, radio historians will remember Rush Limbaugh when he called himself Jeff Christy, an AM radio Top 40 disc jockey working at KQV in Pittsburgh. 28 years is an incredible run. Few have the talent to make it almost three decades on the…
We’re about four months until the presidential election and arguably our choice is between two turd candidates. On November 8th, we’ll walk into the voting booth and there will sit two steamers. One, our brain reasons, has whipped cream on top. The other is just plain crap. We’ll stick the ballot in our mouth and…
People are outraged. People are sad. People are in shock. People are now, finally, speaking up over the execution of one of America’s former great and “heritage” stations, KGO-AM in San Francisco. Why now? What happened last week to KGO has been happening to radio stations, personalities, talk hosts, support personnel and news staffs for…
Translation: If you’re going down, you might as well go down in a memorable way. Donald Trump sure is memorable and the same could have been said about talk radio some 20 years ago. Conservative talk radio and the Republican party are connected, once again trying to energize their common “base.” Each are equally disconnected…
