CENTRAL NEW YORK — If you’ve been away for awhile, CNYRadio.com is celebrating it’s 10th anniversary this week. The site went live on March 1, 2001… and we’ve been running a series of special articles this week to mark the occasion. Today, we finish up the series with our reflections and yours, on ten years of CNYRadio.com.
CENTRAL NEW YORK — All this week we’re celebrating the 10th anniversary of CNYRadio.com with a series of special reports. Yesterday, several folks who’ve been in local radio for 10+ years explained why they feel consolidation was “the” biggest story from the past decade. Despite the negative side of consolidation, most radio pros are optimistic for what’s ahead. Today, we share their predictions for the next ten years.
CNYRadio.com launched ten years ago — March 1, 2001. To mark the anniversary, we reached out to dozens of local radio personalities and managers. We sent out a series of questions, figuring it would be interesting to see which ones get responses. And one question certainly did — when we asked people to name THE biggest story from radio over the past decade, one common theme was mentioned: consolidation.
SAN ANTONIO, TX — It’s no surprise that Mark Mays intends to give up his titles as President and CEO of Clear Channel; that plan was announced last June.
