You may not always agree with Jerry, but he will make you think. Here is an interesting piece on Disney/Steve Jobs and how their ideas could be applied to running radio and TV broadcasting companies:
Thoughts and observations on the radio/TV station and wireless tower trading markets. A look at the impact and integration of new media into station operations. Station values, stations for sale, radio and TV station news, towers, and more from a Director of Media Services Group and co-publisher of Inside Towers.
Wow, I feel so "state-of-the-art". 2 years ago, working temporarily in Battle Creek, I started a website development project that would bring all the local high school sports, AND the local community sports, into one central portal at the station. It was going to be totally driven by local contributors.
ReplyDeleteThought it was brilliant. Maybe it was.
Alas, Cumulus closed on the stations. My gig was done. And so was the half-done website. This is what stations need to be focusing on! Hyper-local and real.
