By Fred Jacobs | October 31, 2024

Halloween 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.

What To Do If Your Radio Station Goes Through A Midlife Crisis

By Fred Jacobs | April 25, 2025

For a heritage radio station, there’s nothing more exhilarating AND daunting as planning for a big station birthday—the ones that end with a zero. The upside is the opportunity to remind the audience and advertisers you’ve been around a long time, but the downside is reinforcing you’re long in the tooth, doing the same things in the same way you have for decades. Fortunately, there’s a national brand now celebrating its 40th year in business. Rather than going down the tried and true path, they’re burning the playbook. Let’s look into how it’s going.
