clear channel and cox KILING RADIO

W

With all the talk about how bad Clear Channel and Cox this one and that one is, it is amazing anyone would actually want to get into radio.
 
I guess you could always get into Podcasting or Internet "Broadcasting". Now THAT's where the money is! BWAHAHAHAHA.

I am sure that CC and Cox would love nothing more than to have all of their stations completely computer automated with no staffing. The future of radio, "Where the Money Is" as you say, is selling radio advertising and not much more.

In 5 years from now web browsing equipped car radios and pod casting actually may be where the money is.

A poll of country radio programmers conducted by Billboard Radio Monitor at the close of 2004 revealed that the issue of talent recruitment and retention was one of their top three concerns. (The others were a lack of budget for marketing and promotions at many stations and high spot loads.)

Many programmers say there is a lack of qualified applicants now because years of voicetracking have finally resulted in a very shallow talent pool.

Funny. I was talking to an old friend today who basically said, 'radio, as we now know it, will be nothing but a shell of it's former self in three years time'. I'm afraid he may be right.
 
the pool's been full of pee-pee since long before the era of voice tracking...

The drain actually started before voice tracking although voice tracking probably alianated even more people from the profession. Most stations went to liner cards in the late 1980's which drove many of the creative people to leave and do something else. I can remember a friend of mine getting chewed out for ad libbing too much.

After being out of work in the IT field for awhile I got back into radio after an 11 year absence. I had my pick from two of the local a/c stations so I can believe there is a shortage of talent. The other reason for the shortage of talent is the money is really bad.
