Should ban together and change radio. Will we? No.I'm sure we will not.
As Dan said,we will wait for someone else to make the changes and hope we can join up for whatever change there maybe.

It almost meant more than actually getting the gig.

Like many, when I was a baby jock starting at a small station perched on the edge of Nowhere, R&R was a link to bigger and better. Sad to see R&R go.

Once again Politics and Publicity to a favored few at the expense of
Programming and Personalities.

Records companies bought Ads, and hyped their tunes. Consultants influenced stations who didn't do research, and all they cared about was IF it made the back page of R & R. Stiff or NOT!

Rest in peace R & R!

You SOLD your soul years ago as so many others did!

That's why Radio still exists, but we all know it's been diagnosed as terminal.

Its prognosis is…..well we'll see won't we!

In default?
Divested?
Spun off?
Bankrupt?
Devalued?

Yeah, that's the ticket!

By those that ran it into the ground.

RIP

Another tabloid that saw it better days years ago bites….the dust!
