When it comes to how Richard Burns seeks to operate radio stations, the top tenet fueling his philosophy comes down to “the very strong need for local community engagement.”
More than just playing a pile of records, Burns’ radio stations in markets including Juneau, Alaska, continue to spark renewed interest in AM and FM audio choices. RBR+TVBR Editor-in-Chief Adam R Jacobson interviewed Burns two years ago for the InFOCUS Podcast, presented by dot.FM, and Burns’ comments on what it means to be the first foreign owner approved by the FCC and this Australian citizen’s take on being a broadcaster continue to resonate today.
