Terrestrial radio is dead

I read a column last week that Dan Mason, the President of CBS radio wrote, proclaiming that radio was far from dead.  Early in my career I worked in radio, and it's an industry I still follow closely.  Mr. Mason talks about the changing demographics of the listeners and how innovative the industry is with all of their streaming apps  and HD radio and how we may never have another Howard Stern, Tom Leykus, or Rush Limbaugh again.  I fell in love with radio for the personalities.  Johnathan Brandmeir, Steve Dahl, Howard Stern.  To me, this is radio.  Not voice tracks and a few cookie cutter formats.  I subscribe to SiriusXM and listen to people like Adam Carolla and Marc Maron's podcasts regularly.  This is the radio I know and love and this is the radio I choose to listen to.

Goldberg,Version 2.0

I haven't been blogging for a couple of weeks as I went through a very large professional life change.  For the first time in 15 years I'm in between jobs, a free agent, taking time to catch my breath.  Frankly, that's all just fancy talk for unemployed.  The last couple of weeks have been interesting for me as I've transitioned from Rich Goldberg from X company to just plain old Rich Goldberg.  It's not often in a career you get an opportunity to stop and not only smell the proverbial roses, but make different choices.  I've always told my employees as they managed their career to make sure they were going towards something and not just running away from situations that were challenging.  I'm looking forward to the process of going towards something.  I will keep you updated as well as continuing to give my thoughts on other business related topics.  Thanks for reading.
