		<description><![CDATA[Most any research study you see will reveal that the biggest tune-out in radio is commercials.  Since radio station managers still have this funny insistence on their stations making money, chances are, you&#8217;re going to be playing commercials whether you (or the listeners) like it or not. Indeed, some commercials are not bad.  Some are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, here we are in a new year.  As a few people who&#8217;ve read this blog know by now, it&#8217;s Twenty-Ten here in RandyWorld, not Two-Thousand and Ten.  And while I won&#8217;t continue to beat that drum so loudly as to become annoying, I will point out that in recent days, I&#8217;ve been gratified to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On November 8th, 2009, I received the highest honor of my career when I was officially inducted into the Texas Radio Hall of Fame at its 2009 ceremony at Tin Hall in Houston. Many of the names of Texas Radio Hall of Fame inductees are familiar to just about everyone in radio.  Heck, many of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I wonder whether the current crop of programmers even knows where the term &#8220;sweeper&#8221; comes from.  Some of the so-called &#8220;sweepers&#8221; I hear on the radio (and am occasionally asked to voice) are so long, they&#8217;re not really suitable for sweep sets at all.  Unless hearing multiple songs in a row without commercial interruption [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes it seems like every other promo I read ends with a tagline that goes something like this:  &#8220;Get all the details at OurStationWebsite.com.&#8221;  Of course as a voice talent, I&#8217;m more than happy to read whatever copy my client stations put in front of me.  But as a former programmer, I&#8217;m often left scratching [...]]]></description>

No, he didn&#8217;t. And while I wasn&#8217;t around at the time, [...]]]></description>
