“If you’re going to get a consultant, get one with a track record in new media. The station manager who depends on a radio consultant that caught the internet bug within the past five years is only playing into their hands. These consultants are still learning. You want someone who understands the internet. Try either Jim Taszarek or Holland Cooke. They have been studying the internet since the late 1990s. Everyone else fell in after they ignored the Net for too many years; now, they’re all playing catch up.”
Generous unsolicited praise, from industry-watcher Ken Dardis, Audiographics
