[BC] Re: PD's are timid

[Steve Newman]

No..it's all about fragmentation like we've never seen. Music safety has 
been around as long as I can remember and that goes back to the 60's. I know 
what you're saying but a business is a business is a business and it's 
always been that way. I truly believe it's how we're perceiving it and 
clustered groups have changed the face of radio and how we compete. 
Creativity is not appreciated. Experience doesn't seem to be a factor. So 
many things have gone OUT the window because THEY feel they had to go out 
the window. Nothing had to change save our perception and it would seem 
we've gone over the cliff in that regard.
