Customer Reviews

Superb overview of the radio business!

Though I'm not directly involved in the business of radio, I found this book to be quite interesting. Indeed this book is downright inspirational! I especially enjoyed the chapter on Sales (selling airtime) even though, prior to reading this book, I had little interest in sales of any kind. Many other topics (station management, news production, programming, etc.) are also covered in an in-depth manner. Anyone considering a career in radio should give this book a good read.

Good Book.

This book is up to date. It has current popular names in radio and has information about current radio technology. I think those are really the only things that get changed from each edition. This book gives a good general overview of all the aspects of radio.

The best radio coverage

This new edition is the best yet! Keith is the authority on this subject. There are no rivals to this commanding overview of the audio medium. The coverage of this topic is complete and then some in this edition. You want to know about radio? This incomparable book will tell you all you need to know. First rate.
