Something is happening in broadcast Radio. Our industry has never faced the level of competition that it faces now with satellite radio networks, online music streaming, and yes, even the iPod continues to grow its base.

And they are tuning out in ever-increasing numbers. We have to stop the bleeding. And in order to do that, we need to go where the listeners are going and show them the way back.
