RBR-TVBR observation: More evidence that your content needs to be focused on the internet and mobile. The more mobile apps your brand and content are on, the better. This is where advertisers – and listeners — are moving (no pun intended)! You’ve made a great name for your station on the airwaves, now the next frontier is to do the same in cyberspace. The new transistor radios are the iPhone, Blackberry and Palm devices.
