“ ‘Real Radio’ is still defined for me by doing what a playlist cannot do—putting together music in an order that is different each time, but not random; telling me what’s happening in my town, or yours; advocating for the music it introduces to me; being punctuated by people who are funny or thought-provoking. Part of the initial appeal when I began listening, and part of radio’s identifying DNA now, is the shared experience.” — Sean Ross, VP Music and Programming, Edison Research
