    How to “Rescue” Radio

    How to “rescue” radio? Doc Searls has some ideas, and Doc’s a very smart man. He is, among other things, the co-author of the classic The Cluetrain Manifesto that anticipated social media and the power of the social consumer by a decade. I don’t agree with all of his points, but I’ll share a few of the most interesting here. First, he redefines radio as “streamed audio,” unbound from “transmitter mentality.” This is a familiar conversation in radio circles, of course – and on

    Is Radio Losing the “War for Attention”?

    The Most Important Takeaway for Broadcasters from CES

    I’m struck by reading the post-mortems about the Consumer Electronics Show in the radio trades – the gist seems to sum up to this:  Faster, HD Radio, faster!  Radio must fight ever-harder to maintain the “share of dashboard” in the cars! These arguments miss the point altogether. The issue is not “HD radio or not.”  Nor is it “share of dashboard.”  The issue is share of consumer. And share of consumer requires being in the traffic path each and every consumer wants to travel
