By Fred Jacobs | May 13, 2025

The New Pope Was Selected Faster Than Most Radio Organizations Hire New CEOs

By Fred Jacobs | May 12, 2025

There are many analogies to last week’s selection of a new pope and a media organization having to suddenly replacing its CEO. Having done it for centuries, the Vatican has it down. And there are lots of things broadcast radio entities can learn from conclave and how it carries out its charge. The selection of an American to become the next pope was a bold one, and today’s blog post lists seven lessons radio companies can learn from this amazing tradition.

Radio: Don’t Get Scammed By “The 3-Minute Monte”

By Fred Jacobs | February 28, 2025

It’s a rare occurrence in radio, but right now, we’re witnessing a ratings methodological change the likes of which we haven’t seen in years.

“I Watch A Lot Of Baseball On The Radio”

By Fred Jacobs | February 27, 2025
