After the acquisitions are made, the stock price will drop back down to a more normal multiple. It is the more normal multiple that Radio One has to keep in mind when considering the long-run dilutive effect of the purchase.
The rate at which Radio One should pay should reflect the future cash flows of the businesses it is buying. Normally, the company buys underperforming stations and then turns them around. That strategy allows it to take stations that are not doing well and bring up their performance -- this justifies a higher valuation than the current multiple on those stations. However, there is no evidence that the ClearChannel stations are underperforming. They are being divested to comply with antitrust regulations, which is an entirely different situation. RadioOne is, therefore, much less likely to add significant value to these stations.
In addition, ClearChannel is a motivated seller. It must divest these…...
Radio Advertising Bureau is a sight mostly devoted to those in radio advertising seeking general information, training tools, and market sales data concerning the radio industry. The site is somewhat informative and should be considered an effective vehicle for radio advertising.
The articles on the home page advance the interests of radio as well as most of the links in the side columns. The "Find It Fast" pull-down menu of different types of advertising markets is extremely informative as it offers statistics and other useful data concerning specific industries.
In addition, the Media section which offers ideas for advertising and success stories, is informative as well as the Co-op section which offers helpful tools such as newsletters and a "training corner."
Perhaps the most interesting feature about the site is the variety of links offered to those interested in the radio advertising, such as the RAEL site and the EDI site.
The site would…...

Radio art is interesting because it is an aural representation of a world that is very much focused on visual input. In listening to radio art, the audience potentially becomes aware of a reality that is beyond the visible. In other words, things that a person might not notice in the general, visually driven world, might become more apparent when listening to radio art. This is what I found when recording my interactions with taxi drivers in Iran. I recorded not only conversations during the journeys I took by taxi, but also other sound effect in these taxis, such as the music the drivers might have been listening to during my journeys with them.
One interesting thing that I noticed related to culture. The taxi drivers had a culture of their own, even while being part of the Iranian culture, they also had a particular cultural awareness that related to…...
The program director also typically fulfills duties in the realm of direct negotiations with recording labels and other professional management and representation in connection with establishing product or talent exposure goals that are mutually agreeable to all parties. This often requires polished negotiating and communications skills, particularly because the interests of the station and those of artists and their representation may not necessarily coincide (Hall & Hall, 2000).
Finally, the broadcast radio program director must also supervise technical elements of radio broadcast operations, including the production, recording, and airing of programs, (Paro, 2009) and for ensuring that engineering personnel follow strict FCC and other regulatory compliance requirements (Stern, 1993; Stern, 1995). The compliance element of radio operations can be extremely challenging because a radio station program
director must master the terminology and many of the complex legal concepts and standards that govern broadcast media (Paro, 2009).
While the actual legal work is handled…...

adio Frequency Identification (FID) technology
Advantages and disadvantages of FID technology to the organization
FID technology has many benefits over traditional technologies as it changes the process becoming automatic. Conventional tracking technologies require manual connections, which include labor intense, very time intense and error vulnerable. With FID technology, it has notable advantages that can raise the performance of management and inventory.
Efficient Inventory Tracking system: The main benefit to using FID in the company is to improve inventory monitoring, especially where the technological innovation is not required to read FID labels. At any given time, inventory can be performed in a highly effective way. FID uses real-time, high precise technique to monitor raw materials, and work in processing item and finished items. All inventory levels and safety inventory in the company can be monitored within a second. With FID technology, inventory can be modified immediately without scanning, item movement, or human participation. The…...

Radio Sawa revolves refers to means in which the American message can be delivered to the Arab world. Indeed, following the attacks on the 11th of September and the increased waves of terrorism and anti-Americanism in the Middle East (or rather in the Greater Middle East region, including here Iran or Egypt), an efficient propaganda medium was essential for the United States.
Such a propaganda mean would have provided an alternative for the Arabic networks, radio or TV stations, specialized in delivering anti-American messages and used by terrorist networks or mad leaders. So, in many ways, the problem was (and still is) closely related to finding media ways in which the terrorist influence on the local population could be met and counterbalanced. In other words, the issue was to provide an alternative and another side of the story.

largest problem with radio stations is that the mass-market "one- size-fits-all" approach seems to fail at making any one individual particularly satisfied. We live in a world of individual expression and people will begin demanding individualized radio stations. Internet radio holds the greatest potential to deliver on this vision. Many companies are already taking advantage of streaming audio to deliver music over the World Wide Web, but this proposal explores the ability to take music delivery to the next step.
The idea for this new radio station called Tunes You Choose is to offer a personalized service for each listener. The customer selects from a portfolio of music options which songs to include for playing when they login. And, there's a new releases section categorized by types of music to encourage the audience to listen to new songs. It's almost like a free version of Napster, except songs can't be…...

adio Industry Has Changed
Imagine studying media convergence, when one discovers radio. adio has changed over the years. People can now access it online and within his or her own car. Everything has become digital. Without radio, people are not current with the latest songs and artists because of how much it shapes culture. One will discuss radio and its evolution while discussing an actual that took place currently.
adio
adio first occurred in 1887 under the direction of David Hughes who had the first transmission of signals through the use of a Spark transmitter. This particular signal was able to occur at least within 500 meters from its origin to its destination (Anonymous, 2004). "Today, radio is transmitted using a transmitter, communication links, and a receiver (Fardon, 2003, para 2). When it comes to a transmitter, these are comprised of computers that have modems that are sent back and forth to…...

Secondly, they are actually increasing the listening base. The increase occurs because then there may be a blog or article on the internet discussing what the president was discussing. Average Joe or Jane access this site and they could be links to a recording of that radio broadcast. Now someone that may not have necessary been inclined to listen to the radio can gain access to possibly vital information and this could peak their interest into listening to presidential broadcasts regularly. In turn, they may in fact convince their friends to listen. Therefore, it is evident that if these broadcasts continue there is a significant chance that not only will the broadcast maintain current listener base, they would actually stand a chance of increasing the listening base significantly. Therefore, these inferences only further support my opinion in continuing radio broadcasts and allowing time and technology to work in its…...
These are the places where the people who cannot afford the life in the city live. Therefore, the use of the city setting, and the development of the slums indicates the impacts of war on the development of the personal economic status. The war aftermath does not allow people to rebuild their lives. Alarcon writes, "Nothing builds community like complaining" (Daniel 186). They have suffered huge losses of the property; there are no jobs and thus the income is limited. This is the severity of the conditions of living in the city. Therefore, the description of the city setting and its development in the novel shows the theme of the war and violence effects.
In conclusion, Daniel Alarcon uses the setting of the novel to propagate the various themes. Additionally, he uses the stylistic devices of vivid description and symbolism to illustrate how the various wars and violence incidences affect…...

Theatrical claims and manifestations do well when selling a manufactured good or service, as long as they continue to credible (Lights, Camera, Action: Creating Effective TV Commercials, n.d.).
The main idea of both of these advertising mediums is to grab the attention of prospective consumers and create a connection between the customer and the product that is being sold. Radio spots are generally short and do not allow for a lot of time to get the message across. TV spots on the other hand are usually a little longer in nature. TV has one advantage over Radio in that it can use images to try and help make the connection and help consumers to remember the product. Radio on the other hand has to rely solely on words and thus must make them very memorable.
Both of these are a bit different from internet advertising in the fact that there is…...

According to AISS such contacts provide young people with the opportunity to understand how amateur radio operates, and to enlarge their awareness in communications technology (International Space Station eference).
In addition, using amateur radio in the classroom is also appealing because the FCC has altered some of the licensing guidelines to make it easier for teachers to get the license needed to supervise various amateur radio activities in the classroom (Amateur radio education and technology program). Amateur radio also serves the purpose of teaching students skills associated with wireless communications that will be valuable to them in the workforce. The association also asserts that amateur radio can be used in the classroom to promote lifelong learning (Amateur radio education and technology program).

Moreover, Satellite and Internet radio are offering "hundreds of choices of highly focused music formats," Picard continues, making radio "…a less relevant platform" for music and entertainment than it was previously (p. 1).
