Re: Death of Radio or Not?
Radio station owners have always loved money. Over the years, I worked for and have known some pretty cheap broadcasters...the type who would throw nickels around like they were manhole covers. But, these same owners also had some understanding of the importance of good programming. Most of them had always worked in radio...most in sales, some in programming and some in engineering. Most of them are gone today.
20 years ago there were many more locally owned radio stations than there are today.
20 years ago, most radio stations were operated by people who came up through the ranks and had some understanding of, and love for, the business.
Deregulation, and the consolidation frenzy it created, killed the radio you long for.
