Radio is a really strange business now, too. There's a very narrow door and a very few people control what gets played.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The radio is not show fun, it's show business. It's money.
Radio stinks. The stations are making a lot of money, but they just aren't taking chances.
Radio is commercial, isn't it. Its a business.
Radio as we know it is pretty much changing completely.
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.
Radio, in a way, is preaching.
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.
Too many radio stations, all they do is syndicated programming, it's just piped in from some satellite someplace, and they don't have much of a connection to the community.
Radio stations play what they believe is in, and they all talk to each other.
The thing that interests me least about the radio business is the radio business. But I've had to learn a little bit about it. It's not rocket science: You get ratings, that's good.
