Barrett Sports Media delivers news, advice, and opinion on the sports radio, TV, and print industries.
“Radio is a results driven business. Executives have a ton of pressure on them to win, and they’re not going to pass on adding an elite talent to their roster, regardless of red flags, especially if they have a good prior relationship.”
“So whether it’s pairing Carton with Roberts, or finding a former professional athlete for Craig to work with, let this be the move that lasts.”
“25 years ago, Joe Benigno made the unlikely jump from being a food salesman to a full-time sports radio host on WFAN, at the age of 41.”
“I think a brand of lesser stature would have been taken out at the knees if they had to take on that magnitude of change within months of each other.”
“Entercom New York Market Manager Chris Oliviero explains why he returned to the business, how he feels about the state of WFAN and a reunion with Craig Carton, and more!”
“Mark Chernoff shares how day to day operations have been affected in NYC and how he approaches difficult situations as a radio executive.”
“Passion about sports is the number one thing. You can teach people formatics.”
“What I was doing three or four years ago as a PD has changed. Today as a brand manager you just have to be able to be adaptive, go with the changes, be open to ideas and come up with new ideas. You can’t wait for it to come to you.”
“For the first time in 5 years, a new PD has been crowned as the best in the format.”
“The longtime PD of 670 The Score in Chicago will be honored on February 27th at the BSM Summit.”
