Well said. I'm also on a Chicago board and all those people talk about is how Steve Dahl needs to be on a new station, how Eddie and Jobo deserve mornings on another station, how Walter Jacobson and Bill Kurtis should come back to TV news, etc etc. What people fail to remember is that, at some point, what Bill Kurtis and Steve Dahl was doing was NEW and they themselves WERE new at some point and if no one gave them a chance to be new, their careers never would have become what is so missed.
: It seems that those who post on these message boards, are loyal to their own form of media whether it be radio, tv, or the like...
: With that said, a metaphor of sorts would look something like the auto industry...Keep doing what you've always done...and what will it get you? Nothing. In the end, it is necessary to focus on being creative, always look for new ideas, and try to stay on top of changing cultures and technology.
: Ignorance is not bliss...it is bankruptcy! I want to make the argument that tv advertising only hits the very young(children) and the very old and that the only profitable media for any business to invest in is the internet.
