State Of Radio, NAB Convention, Dan Rather

Beyond brutal dollar slots and suspiciously potent "free" drinks, attendees heard the same great points that are expressed annually about radio's sad state of affairs.

If only the corporate suits were paying attention to something other than the cocktail waitresses.
