A wise Radio Manager and Mentor of mine, (The Real) Howard Johnson, taught me that a company can give you 2 out of 3 of these: Quality, Fast, Cheap. After 40 years in Radio myself, I can see that Radio in the 21st Century has settled for “Fast & Cheap” because Quality takes time and costs money! Creativity is crushed when Announcers have to “keep it short…under 10 seconds” so we can play more music, more music, more music. Let us pray that the “Pendulum” swings back to Creative Quality where the listener can’t wait to hear what the Announcer is going to do on the next break. Today, the next break is likely to be just like the last break, short and safe. God bless radio! Ed

Will there be any other opportunities to see this movie in the KC/Lawrence area besides this weekend?
Will be at Free State Film Festival May 11th in Lawrence. http://freestatefilmfest.com/corporate-fm/ Then in KC at Screenland Crown Center later that month.
From early reports and this quick preview this movie will be a ‘must see’ for those who care. Regards, IAN in Oz.
