Ed Shane (KILT, KTRH, KROI) has passed

LOTS of post in the TXRHOF group on FB about Eds passing.......

The Legends are slowly slipping away....

Listening to John Landecker on WLS FM, his voice is cracking a bit.....not the same as he was 3 years ago when they brought him back full time...Dick Biondi, who is older, still going strong...(reminds me of working with Eddie Hubbard at ABC/SMN....the man was still quick as a tick and never missed a beat even in his HIGH 80s...took a car accident to take Eddie from us; to be around and work with such legends and know them is such a feeling...hard to describe...the bean counters could take a lesson from Ed and the others.....PUT PERSONALITY back on radio...

Lots of personality on the radio right now. Wake up and listen to morning radio. That's where you hear the top talent in town.

But with PPM, listeners don't want too much talk on their music stations. So it's harder to develop a personality given the demands of today's radio listeners. That's what Ed Shane would tell you.
 
CW, the personality radio of our youth is gone, and won't be recreated. The landscape is much different now, and radio is less influential and listened to than 50 years ago. Too many other choices affect both radio and broadcast TV these days and the result is the lower quality we have today.

Some think that more competition leads to better quality, but media & music is a perfect example of how it doesn't. There is a lot more competition for radio, and a lot more competition for music, and the result isn't always better. It's different. And it's being driven by what the people want.
