My fifteen-year career in the radio business has been relatively brief (so far) by some standards.  I’ve met some 30, 40 and even 50-year veterans of this “entertainment business.”  Yet my perspective is based on the lucky confluence of when I started on the cusp of 1994-95 to the present 2009-10 since my career began just before the infamous “Telecommunications Act” of 1996. This changed the whole ball game in which one owner/operator was allowed to own many media properties in the same market.  Previous to my experience there was only allowed a “duopoly” where one owner was limited to one radio station and maybe one TV station in the same market, or one AM radio signal and one FM signal per market.
