So - Jerry D does think that it's the consolidators that have the weak radio product...

In an earlier post, I disagreed with Jerry Del Colliano on the subject of great content being created in radio. Here's something he wrote a few days ago that makes the point about independent operators:

A Radio Station That Signs Jocks To Contracts: "In Phoenix there is a station that actually does well -- how's number one 18-34 sound -- with a sub-par tower location and it competes with all the usual suspects like CBS and Clear Channel."

(Via INSIDE MUSIC MEDIA™.)

Nothing about great content on this station, but if you're #1 18-34 with no signal, something's being done right on the air!
