Inside Music MediaJerry Del Colliano

This is the only chance this year to solve four of the most critical problems facing radio at once.

1. Changing the way we engage audiences
2. Getting around a rigged ratings system
3. Growing on-air revenue and making real money from digital
4. Getting 18-34 year old Millennials to listen to radio

It’s all in the Advanced Radio Management Program, which begins tomorrow morning at 8 am in Philadelphia.

We know that radio revenue continues to decline.

We know that radio stations make no significant money from digital.

That the ratings system is hurting what audiences we attract.

And that unless we’re willing to go to school on what Millennials really want, they’re lost and so are we.

If you’re anywhere near an airport or a regional train station, don’t miss this opportunity to reset your year and assure that the decisions you make in these critical areas will be the ones that work.

Jerry Del Colliano invites you to join radio broadcasters and digital executives for a one-day interactive conference focused on leadership, responding to disruption and new content, programming and sales models.

Here’s the schedule with the topics and curriculum that are so relevant to radio at the present time.

Don’t just sit there, make it happen.
