ShareThe more I read about all the changes taking place in our world, the more I’m convinced that we really are in the midst of a paradigm shift. This shift is impacting every facet of our lives.

ShareIt’s not that a Republican won the Massachusetts Senate race; I question how any Democrat could have lost. (Understanding the polictical dynamics is aided by this observation from John Gorman.) It’s ironic that Attorney General Martha Coakley (D) kept her head in the sand exactly the same way as radio industry leaders have been doing; only, in [...]
ShareAs the industry changes and corporations are looking for ways to save money two trends appear to be on the rise that could affect radio's PPM negatively…maybe positively.

New legislation in Congress could drastically change music-industry economics. As it currently stands, musicians in the U.S. aren’t paid when their songs are played on the radio unless they wrote the songs, too. Only songwriters get radio royalties, not the folks who play and sing their tunes. Two bills moving through the House and Senate would change that, by making radio broadcasters pay royalties to musicians, too.
Radio broadcasters hate the idea of performance royalties — really, really hate it. They’re speaking up in Congress and on air.
