SPECIAL EDITION - AM radio. What does the future hold for the oldest of our electronic media?

Ford started a fire when they announced that thier new vehicles would no longer include AM radios!  Now Congress is in an uproar to pass legislation to mandate AM radios in all cars and Ford has backed off.  But what is the future of AM radio?  We ask it in light of diminishing audiences, aging facilities, noise on the band and service to the community. 

Welcome to the only podcast/video blog that talks about all kinds of media…and the impact on local sales and management.  Two media execs, Jackson Weaver and Keith Samuels do this each Wednesday.  Produced by InTown Media we welcome comments at jackson@intownmedia.com  Website www.intownmedia.com 

Media Insultant is produced each Wednesday as Jackson Weaver & Keith Samuels offer comments, ideas and sometimes snarky comments about the current media landscape. They focus on radio and TV primarily - but also any media that is relevent or beneficial to media sales and management. Videos are under the Media Insultant Showcase on Vimeo.

Comments are always welcome at jackson@intownmedia.com

Thanks for listening!
