21: Sooty Emissions

Radio Industry Management, Program Directors and Professionalism

Reflecting on their experiences in traditional media, the hosts critique the intelligence and ego of radio station managers and program directors. They cite an anecdote involving sports talk host Jim Rome and a Baltimore affiliate to illustrate the friction between talent and management. Dvorak contrasts the "jive-talking" commercial radio managers with the self-important attitudes found in public radio.
