I've had so many people tell me that they are shocked that AM radio still even exists with all the different listening options.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have a real issue with radio these days. I just am not into the current music.
There are major advantages to remaining out of the radio for a long time before we have something that crosses into the mainstream properly.
Radio stinks. The stations are making a lot of money, but they just aren't taking chances.
Radio as we know it is pretty much changing completely.
I remember thinking, 'I don't know if I can do radio.' I never even listen to it.
For years everyone looked toward the demise of radio when television came along. Before that, they thought talking movies might eliminate radio as well. But radio just keeps getting stronger.
I feel like the Internet has really freed everything up to an extent, hasn't it? That radio maybe doesn't have quite the power that it had before.
Ironically, the success I've experienced at country radio has left me ostracized from pop and other formats of radio.
Basically, radio hasn't changed over the years. Despite all the technical improvements, it still boils down to a man or a woman and a microphone, playing music, sharing stories, talking about issues - communicating with an audience.
I've made the decision not to do radio anymore.
