A couple of articles are making the rounds. One is a lament for old-timey radio filled with plenty of gloom and doom about the future of radio in general, that ran on Washingtonpost.com.
The other is an upbeat article about the return of personality radio in L.A. and some great news about ratings and $$$. Bravo to KUSC and its terrific staff. In a recession, or even a slow-down (if that’s what we’ve agreed to call it), the arts often suffer first. Housing prices in the KUSC listening area have dropped a lot, and when money is tight people often stop giving to their local public station, so that makes KUSC’s growth even more remarkable.
