Eric's insight into the Citadel bankruptcy:

I agree with him that bankruptcy is pushing the radio "reset" button. "Imagine what we can do if we actually start promoting again and start serving our audiences with deep conviction and localism."

Take a minute and read his post.

Eric Rhoads: Liberating This Chained Industry The Good and Bad News About Radio and the Coming Renaissance

Eric dishes out the good news and the bad news for the radio industry in his latest blog post. He says that it will be a wild ride in the future, but worth the effort.

"When things appear their darkest and coming storms create further disruption, we must stay focused on the idea that with storms comes a cleansing and dramatic change."

"One thing is for sure: Returning to the past won't work. Though elements of the past that have been ignored will become critical to continued survival and success."

"My gut tells me that radio is about to experience a renaissance."
