The Radio Survivor blog (“News, views and tough love for radio”) has a series of posts on the decade’s most important radio trends. Nothing earth-shaking, and a few are strange choices, but interesting to see the amount of change the industry has undergone in the past ten years. I just passed 40 years in the business last month and the pace of change has certainly accelerated in that time. --Dennis
