Barrett Riddleberger offers four steps to take when coaching sales reps to develop their skills and help them achieve their sales goals.

A Class C3 FM serving the Hot Springs, Ark., area to the west of Little Rock, is seeing a change in control, one that sees a husband-and-wife duo cede control of the facility to one Alice Bates following the wife's death in April.

With the Supreme Court set to rule in three months on the Commission's appeal of its cross-ownership rule rewrite, acting FCC Commissioner Rosenworcel isn't likely to bring up anything big for broadcast media for the near future. That said, the April 2021 Open Meeting Agenda will see the FCC vote on an applications cap for new NCE FMs.

Thanks, Obama ... and Hillary, and local and statewide candidates seeking political office in 2016. Your ad spending at media targeting African-Americans helped Radio One narrow its net loss in Q4 2016 while net revenue improved by 3.8% from the last three months of 2015. But, it may have been some gamblers and guests at a brand-new casino resort that truly gave the D.C.-area company a much needed shot in the arm.

The group of radio stations that formerly comprised the flagship cluster of the former Alpha Media, today a key part of Jeff Warshaw-helmed Connoisseur Media, has selected a new Market Manager, starting October 16.

He's enjoyed a 53-year career in radio that saw him break through the sales management ranks by taking the General Manager role for a heritage Class A AM in Des Moines and its FM sibling. In 2004, he joined Salem Media Group, and today oversees its AM/FM combo in Houston. On April 30, Chuck Jewell will bid farewell to Salem, and to the radio industry.

The iHeartRadio live streaming, podcasting, and on-demand digital music app has just surpassed a big number, with respect to its tally of registered users. The announcement comes after iHeart beat Pandora by roughly two months on launching an subscription-based on-demand audio offering.

She's a very familiar figure in radio industry circles, and following an organizational shift in April departed Skyview Networks. At the time, there were hints that she'd resurface soon.  That announcement arrived on October 23, and it sees Jeanne-Marie Condo-Bucknell take a role at Audacy Inc.'s Infinity Networks.

If there ever was a time to swing from a significant net loss to profit, this is it. And, Salem Media Group delivered, with total revenue rising year-over-year. Here's the thing: Salem's publishing division, along with continued strong digital dollars, made the feat possible. Net broadcast revenue declined in the first quarter of 2021.

The annual deadline for filing federal income tax is nearly here, and that saw Jackson Hewitt soar in the newest Media Monitors Radio Spot Ten report.

Townsquare Media, with more than half of its revenue across the first three quarter of 2025 coming from Digital sources, swung to a net loss in Q3. A non-cash impairment charge is reflected in these results. But is there something more the C-Suite team led by CEO Bill Wilson should take note of?

Live and in-person, the Chief Executive Officer of Beasley Media Group will be bestowed with the National Radio Award come October 13 in Las Vegas. It's another sign that the pandemic's concerns are fading as each day at the NAB progresses.

In last week’s Media Monitors Radio Spot Ten report, GEICO was back on top at No. 1 with 42,579 spots. The Home Depot held steady at No. 2 with 38,299 ads while iHeartRadio rose to No. 3 with 35,277 commercials.

It's a Class D daytime-only AM radio station that must power down after dark to protect distant Class A KOA-AM in Denver, and in recent times has been home to the Spanish-language Adult Regional Mexican Hits "Juan" format. Now, it is being donated to Hudson Valley radio station operator Bud Williamson.

On Dec. 23, 2020, iHeartMedia shares finished the day at $11.99. It was a good finish, as IHRT in early July was trading in the mid-$6 range. With Wednesday's Closing Bell on the Nasdaq GlobalSelect market, investors who have had IHRT for the past year will certainly be celebrating. Why? They've more than quadrupled their dollars.
