Radio serves a much larger role.

Pray tell, what is that larger role?

Radio, while indeed cutting back, adds the human element. *Local
information, local personalities,

Uh? cutting back means cutting real live human people from the pay
roll who provide the local content, news and weather.

I think some stations do a great job with news and local content and
still make money.
While many provide just the bare essentials and sound more like
syndicated repeaters of Rush and Sean, while reaping rewards of cheap
content and profits. And radio isn’t grooming it’s next generation of
stars either. It’s killing them off!

You’ll see more traditional talk news properties on Am moving to
Fm

For anyone left in radio today who think, “ ipods don’t provided news
and content”
simply aren’t seeing the big picture! ipods, zunes, cell phones and
everything frigging thing else will come configured to communicate
with 4G networks, Wimax & Wifi. Wireless high speed networks. And some
devices already can! Auto Manufactures will make access to these
networks as standard equipment.

What’s left for radio is local content, & content worth listening too.
Playing the same hits over and over simply won’t due in a world
wireless and plugged into the world wide web.
Plus the next generation, radio’s future gets this stuff! These young
tikes have been raised on a key boards, cell phones and ipods. And
most can’t even tell you what AM Radio is.

Anyone left in radio today can’t think clearly enough to interpret
facts.
They’re carrying too much baggage to be able to accurately do that.
Many executives have been at their current position too long and are
essentially burned-out. This makes their opinions unreliable. That’s
what’s wrong with many radio people. They’ve been drinking the Kool-
Aid for so long that their brains are dead, drowned on the punch!

The NAB is out of touch and serves their own agenda!

The only hope is stations go dark and real operators come in with
fresh new ideas!
