...I bet you he continues to grow doing podcasting and independent media.

Good riddance corporate media.
He works for the biggest radio media group in the world friendo, he's corporate media to the core. That's why his positions shift with the wind, there's no backbone as a shill.

Re: Nielsen audio AQH shares for April

It's outstandingly bad how 95.7 and 107.3 are performing. It's really unbelievable that anyone would pay any salaries on these frequencies at this point. Plug in a satellite and call it a day.

Re: January Book Ratings, Big Wins For iHeart while Cumulus Limps

WLHT's good showing is noteworthy, however, as that normally would be one of the stations arguably most susceptible to hemorrhaging share to Star, CSG and TRV during the holiday season. My wife can not stand Christmas Music so we ended up with WLHT on quite a bit during December, I will say that ...

Re: WGRD is the new top dog in latest Arbs

Whatever they're paying Tommy Carroll isn't enough I know there aren't many six figure PDs, but if he's not already there TSM should seriously consider it as GRD's revenue potential more than warrants it. The key word there is potential, the TSM sales team has the worst broadcast conversion rate in ...

Re: It's Giving Broke Boy, WKFR Cuts Local Mornings?

Still wondering why Chelsea would be let go? She was the one who got those ratings. Keep her. Welp, they brought in a boring placeholder. So, I'm guessing Chelsea was too expensive and didn't want to work with Dana again. Very strange to dump a #1 show for whatever is about to happen with Dana and ...

Re: Jim Costa going to mornings on The Ticket after Mike Stone retires

Good. He was obnoxious. Costa carried that show. Isn't Drew (or Droo) in the Cannabis business these days? I recall seeing a news report along those lines. I always felt Drew was the 'show' part of that dynamic. All respect to Costa, but Drew pulled him out of Sports Nerd into an entertainer. Maybe ...

Re: Updated ratings!

Great news for Sunny 101.5 and for Live 99.9. I feel bad for the listeners of U93, a station with a great history. U93 is very similar to KFR, it's heritage makes it pretty much bulletproof in the ratings. It's always top two with B100. I don't think even the new lady can screw that up. I am ...

The VO work screams the elderly are in charge. Dump the Lori Vennis strategy. It hasn't worked in the past few years, why keep it after she's been canned twice by the company?
