Demagoguery sells. And therefore, radio stations will put it on. But that doesn't mean that you can't do something else and also make it sell.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Demagoguery sells. And therefore radio stations will put it on. But that doesn't mean that you can't do something else and also make it sell. You know, when I look at an Ann Coulter or I look at a Rush or I look at a Sean Hannity, I think to myself, 'What kind of self-image do you have?'
This is a business built on promotion. We've been giving music away to radio stations for 30 years.
When you're working in public radio, you don't have any money to advertise.
The radio is not show fun, it's show business. It's money.
Despite whatever commercial kind of success you might have or radio success, I don't want to do something just to get as many people as possible to listen.
Isn't it only appropriate that, in return for the free use of the public spectrum, broadcasters provide something substantial, something that wouldn't otherwise be provided by marketplace competition?
I can't give money away to buy listeners. I can't pay listeners off with phones or food stamps or anything. I can't come by my audience by buying it.
Talk radio doesn't need to be political.
I think we're going to have to forget about the radio and just go back to word of mouth.
Our records are commodities. We're looking to make a sale. The radio stations are looking to get the advertising dollars. The end.
