Here’s What Radio Will Learn from This Week’s Republican Debates
So all the leading (and not so leading) Republican presidential contenders will be stretched across two stages at the end of this week in the first official debate of the election season. So what can radio learn from this political extravaganza? Well, consider what you will and won’t see. You’ll see little of any depth or seriousness. That’s because time is so short.

A Halloween Story for Broadcasters
This is something of a tradition for me – to post one particular spooky video I produced about three years ago. Every year on Halloween I share it again.

Earlier this year, CBS was blacked out on Time Warner Cable in several major markets due to a dispute over content rights fees. CBS wanted more and Time Warner didn’t want to pay it. More than 3 million Time Warner Cable customers lost access to CBS-owned stations, Showtime, and three other cable nets for a month until the standoff was resolved. So what happened?

What Radio can learn from Otis
He stops traffic. Literally. When my wife and I take him to public places crowds swarm around him, iPhones clicking away. He’s Otis, our 145-pound Newfoundland. And he teaches the lesson of attention. Attention is scarce always – never more than today. Bright and shiny objects abound, many of which substitute for the same or similar functions of the traditional radio experience, but always with something new. These objects compete for our limited attention, and it’s the t
