What kind of qualities are radio companies prioritizing in program directors at a time when the industry is shrinking and consolidating these positions? What skills and sensibilities are most important today? Sometimes, we can learn more about our business when we step away from it.

I don’t purport to have all the answers, but I can promise you today’s post contains key questions you might want to ask during your upcoming end-of-year evaluations. Happy Monday.

Read MoreHalloween is here, a great time to “ghoulishly” reassess your station’s brand. This morning’s #TBT post is about a “devilish” exercise that can help you determine how many “zombies” are actually lurking around your radio station – promotions, events, digital assets, and features that are neither alive nor dead, but taking up time, space, and energy. And I promise: it won’t be scary.
