Do We Need More Radio Stations?

2 May 2010 · blog

dmg says YES! Austereo, ARN and others say NO! The ABA says HUH? Maybe.

According to the no-sayers, just when radio is experiencing a revenue slump, more stations dividing an ever dwindling dollar is the last thing the industry needs. Are they showing their self-interest? Is there a moustache in Baghdad? But, are they right? Or could they use a little more competition?

What would you decide if you were ABA Chairman, Prof. David Flint? What do you reckon he will decide? And why?

Thanks to Mark van Laarhoven for suggesting this topic.
