I remember a time when it was all about making it big: you worked hard and if you worked just hard enough, you would earn a chance to do radio in a big market like Chicago. You would have the respect of your peers, look great to your family, and you would finally start collecting a great wage.
Just in the last few weeks, look at all of the people who have made it big but ended up stepping down from their top positions. Some of them were disguised as leaving to spend more time with family, or pursuing other careers, but we all know the truth.
Why are all the major market PDs bailing?
It's not just Chicago either: it's Los Angeles, it's New York.
The radio landscape is changing and I don't know where it's going to be in our even immediate future, much less long term.
