Ben Fong-Torres explains radio
"Radio is fickle: It's wonderful, and it's terrible. It's kind and it's cruel. It's like family, a lifelong part of much of your day and night, and of your best and worst memories. And yet it acts strange, goes through changes, embracing you one minute, rejecting you the next.

- Radio values its listeners, draws them in with more music or the biggest stars. It nurtures them with personalities, contests and public events. And then, as those listeners mature, it dismisses them. It changes formats. It disappears. "...

I enjoy your columns especially because I remember hearing your name a lot when I worked in San Francisco in the late 70's. I was a sales rep for KYA and KYA FM, the latter having some success as Y93. KSAN would run 'Beatles A to Z' to start the Spring rating book every year, and they always killed everyone else. Anyhow, I liked your subject's views on radio as well.
