Listeners Pause As The Sound Fills Every Space
like it's 1999 Digital platforms aren’t just a big deal, they are the only deal. Consumers across the globe, largely, have embraced the hardware powering the transaction of ones and zeros toward infinity. Fast, clever and attractive, they have become faster, much more clever and ever more attractive. And everything in the great digital supply chain has traversed from expensive, thus the enduring appearance of luxury, to cheap, even the content driving it. Digital culture has become the surrounding culture; the sound is everywhere.

Radio Broadcasters Feel Ad Pain, Beg For Patience

Other factors have upset the advertising business model, digital transition a difficult adjustment. The printed media has been, largely, devastated and traditional TV is getting nervous. Two parts of the media sphere have resisted this: radio broadcasting and outdoor. Now, radio is getting a case of nerves.

The Six Radio Brands is about the uniquely European development of radio brands. Competition among broadcasters - and certainly between the public and commercial sectors - gives radio in Europe a rich dynamic. As consumers become more media-literate and demand more attachment broadcasters find target markets illusive.
Regulators, advertisers and broadcasters take turns trying to influence radio brands. Culture and technology makes an impact. More and more, the greatest influence comes from consumers.
The Six Radio Brands describes advantages and pit-falls of brand strategies, with illustrations from current radio practice.
