Hello,
A quick note from the Music Personnel Conference in New York City. Today was the first day of the Association of Music Personnel in Public Radio annual conference. Despite the difficulties in the industry that Jack wrote about yesterday, the mood is very positive here.
Given overall economic hardships, dwindling government funding for the arts, a distracted and over-stimulated audience, community malaise, dizzying media environment, must we in the arts also factor in “acts of god” when considering our long-term planning?
The absent blogger! Sorry. It’s been a busy couple of weeks.
I’m in the process of launching a new show and I need the advice of you radio professionals. This is not shameless promotion. I really want to know what sort of things you’d like, what will convince you to air the series, how you want the shows delivered, and all those little details.
Happy Friday. I hope you’re getting spring weather, wherever you are. We are looking at low 60s and sunny in Seattle this weekend.
