The long term effects of the Telecom Act of 96 and media consolidation…thank you NAB.

National Association of People with a wallet that want you in their back pocket and don't really care about broadcasting.

One more thing to tell your grandchildren about how radio was "different" when you were their age.

i just got an email from R&R that said that they still want indicator stations to send in there spins which will be used with mediabase and billboard… this was huge news for us smaller market stations

I made it into Street Talk in '97 during our Love In An Elevator Promotion. People had sex live on the air to win b-stage passes to Aerosmith and I had to do pxp. Still don't think I recovered from the 2nd couple. (I'll spare the details) RIP R&R.

Who Owns Whose Words



When you post something on this blog, you retain the right to use your words elsewhere.

I get to use your words elsewhere, too: in a newsletter, book, 3-D hologram, major motion
picture, etc. I'm not saying I will, but it's possible.

But you don't get to take the stuff I write here – even if it's in response to something you
wrote – and use it elsewhere.

Just so you know.

Thanks,
Dan O'Day
