In Search of 30 Under 30
At a time when radio is finally waking up to the importance of reclaiming radio's place with 12-to-24-year-olds, very few broadcasters can effectively approach that audience as peers. Radio lore has numerous stories of phenoms who were major-market PDs or managers by their mid-'20s in the '70s and early '80s, but who are today's phenoms? That's why Edison Media Research is in search of "30 Under 30," 30 broadcasters--employed in radio in any capacity--under age 30 with exceptional achievements. We'll name the 30 winners in February (and you could win a new HD Radio just for submitting a name!)
