This is a new project I am undertaking to not only express my own point of view on the radio industry, but also inform and educate with an outside-the-box approach. There are many issues of concern for radiophiles and I will try to explore each one and offer my two cents. Don't be shocked if you find yourself disagreeing, I don't expect to pander to the masses. There are many voices in the radio jungle. I hope you will find mine to be a lion's roar that causes all creatures to stop and listen. I also welcome your comments, and hope the dialog will be engaging and thought provoking.
Some of the issues I'll be RIBing about include the XM/Sirius proposed merger, the FCC's role of content management, localism, competition, listenership, revenue, copy writing and the quality of production. There are many other issues I will discuss over time, in addition to these I've just listed. Of course we will break from our outline to RIB about breaking news as well. Oh, if I lost you on the term RIBbing, it means doing a Radio Industry Blog, as the title of this blog suggests.
I would also like to encourage you to send me a link to your blog, and I'll include in the blog roll. I have never professed to know everything, but I do think everything there is to think about has already been thought! In other words, there are no more original thoughts. So there is nothing wrong with sharing our thoughts, as they might not have been ours to begin with. I'm sure we could debate that idea in another forum!
This is just the introduction to the blog that is to come. Don't get your hopes up. After all, it is "just another blog".
