Half of everything we ever did at WEBN in the 80's was stolen from his playbook. But the argument about radio/new media "marriage" is specious at best.

He used a horse and carriage to explain his point. He said Detroit was the horse carriage capital of America. When the combustible engine was invented the horse carriage companies retooled to build automobiles. His comparison is that radio has to become "married" and have full integration to the internet but not in the inefficent manner it is today. He also predicted that radio will find new ways of generating revenue on the internet using audio spots. What he said made some sense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639893053950014759.post-66275549863152370992008-10-28T17:07:00.000-04:002008-10-28T17:07:00.000-04:00I honestly have trouble believing radio would have...I honestly have trouble believing radio would have been able to craft a relationship with new media that would have saved it. What kind of relationship could an automobile have with a horse that would not render the horse vestigal. Is the horse going to pull the car? Of course not, the car has more power and can go faster. Is the car going to drag the horse? Why should it? The car does not need the horse.

If I recall correctly, Mr. Gorman, you and your incredible staff made their debut during Cleveland's darkest hours from the exodus of Fortune 500 company headquarters to the 1978 default. Though Cleveland was in worse shape than any other city in America you and your staff made it shine. There is a lesson to be learned from that which you Mr. Gorman might have even forgotten. In tough times entertainment is the great escape. Those stations that find ways to entertain and go the extra distance will benefit from the rough times. I guarantee it and you ought to know it. I am agreeing with you on Ann Rand. She preached to the greed and ignored those in need.

I think the ebbs and flows of the business plus his blind trust of some consultants and programmers that took him in the wrong direction with Movin', RXP and other radio formats did not help.
