Times are tough when a station on a 3.5 share gets a headline.

Not much between the FM shows.
A very tight market with smaller audiences for more shows
Well done to Dan and Maz who are now in the (crowded) race

I’ve always wondered what motivates those in the radio industry. The thrill of gathering in the program directors office 8 times a year to learn what a 30 ROS package will cost tomorrow? The cutting edge paper/sticker diary methodology? Or just a morbid fascination awaiting the day the last newly post teen turns off for the last time?
