Inside Music MediaJerry Del Colliano

This is the toughest list to make in radio.

One major group fell way off the previous list.

One surprise group made it for the first time.

There are now three up and coming radio groups to watch.

And one big one has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.

And I’m not even going to talk about Clear Channel and Cumulus who didn’t make the list (surprise!).  I mean, why even bother?

I can be a harsh critic because I try to keep it real, so perhaps it means a little more when I say these groups are the best in radio.

NOTE:  I am always grateful for your input about all radio groups.  It helps me get a real feel for what happens behind the scenes and impacts my assessment of top groups for the next ranking.  It’s also a way to hold major groups accountable.  Send confirmation of how good these groups are, condemnation of how bad they are (with evidence) and suggest other groups that I should be watching.  Confidential as always.  Contact me here.
