Larry Shannon, publisher of
RadioDailyNews.com said, "2006 seems to have been a year
that produced more questions than answers in the
broadcasting industry. Technology -- and how to use it
-- seem to have overwhelmed broadcasting industry leaders.
We heard more 'What do we do now?' instead of 'Here's where
we're going!' No one person raised their head above the
horizon and the norm to distinguish themselves among their
peers. But, there is hope and there are signs that 2007 will
yield better results."
RDN solicited feedback from its Web site's
visitors and subscribers, and determined from a variety of
sources that "No One" left distinguished and notable
footprints in the radio industry sands nor, based on their
performance, demonstrated
measurable, creative and remarkable leadership skills in
2006 for them to have a profound effect on the radio
industry in 2007.
The "Radio Person of the Year"
recognition from RadioDailyNews.com is not just a
recognition, it also represents a challenge to all
in the broadcasting and entertainment programming industries,
in particular AM, FM, HD Radio and satellite radio
owners, managers, programmers and talent, to dedicate
themselves to provide and deliver to the listener and viewer
the best entertainment, information and news programming
that creative minds are capable of conceiving.
