The Absolute, Unadulterated, and Total Joy Of Being #1

By Fred Jacobs | June 14, 2024

What does it mean to be #1 in the market, especially those ultra-competitive major PPM metros? Not as much as it once did. Nowadays, broadcasters discount the top dog position because it’s based on 6+. But blowing past all competitors in town is SOMETHING. And a little digging into the ratings proves it. After all, not everyone in radio can make the claim, “We’re #1!”

So, How Did You Get Into Radio?

By Fred Jacobs | June 13, 2024

As #TBT posts go, today’s entry is one of my all-time favorites. It is dedicated to the amazing men and women on the airwaves who, lucky for us, made radio their career. We want to hear them tell great stories, but most of all, we want to hear them tell their stories. As a rule, radio people are very interesting sorts, and yet, we often don’t know as much about them as we’d like. Maybe after reading today’s throwback post, we can change that.

Keepin’ It Real With Gen Z

By Fred Jacobs | June 11, 2024

Those crazy Gen Z kids! Just when you think you understand them, they go and do something unpredictable. It turns out more and more are deleting dating apps in favor of real life encounters with (wait for it…..) other people! In fact, the more you research Gen Z, the more you realize they’re a lot like US. In fact, they might value connectedness and being with other people possibly even more than their parents and grandparents do.

If A Magazine Can Embrace Its “Print-ness…

By Fred Jacobs | October 17, 2024

Anytime I see a legacy media brand stage a comeback, I don’t just get celebratory. Or nostalgic. Instead, I dig in to try to figure out how they did it. Once such triumph recently occurred for a magazine that was first launched in 1857 – before the Civil War. The fact it’s enjoying great success in 2024, a trying time for all media – makes it worthy of our time.

Radio’s Pre-Existing Conditions

By Fred Jacobs | October 17, 2024

The relative health of the radio broadcasting industry is always a hot topic and a subject of much debate. But back in October of 2020, those conversations were being overshadowed by the pandemic, an event that even back then we knew would be a game changer. Four years ago, it was a different world – but not really. I think when you take a look back with me, you’ll gain some perspective about where we are now as an industry. And even better, you won’t have to social distance or wear a mask!

Becoming The G.O.A.T.

October 16, 2024

Watching and listening to Tom Brady try to get comfortable and learn an all new craft in the play-by-play booth is a reminder of how challenging a broadcasting career can be – even to a G.O.A.T. on the gridiron. It simply takes time to hone a new craft. As author Malcolm Gladwell prescribes, “10,000 hours of practice.” Well, look at the time!
