Boynton Beach, FL (PRWEB) July 17, 2013
Radio Ink, a leading radio broadcast trade publication, released its highly anticipated 18th annual list of the 40 Most Powerful People in Radio this week. Clear Channel CEO Bob Pittman heads the list at number one, marking the third consecutive year he’s topped the chart. “Bob Pittman is transforming Clear Channel, and, as a result, impacting all of radio,” Radio Ink Publisher B. Eric Rhoads said. “His influence ripples throughout the industry with every new innovation and decision.”
Pittman said, “Being selected as one of the Top 40 Most Powerful People in Radio with these other amazing industry leaders is a great honor. The future is great for radio, and it continues to thrive as our industry evolves. We continue to have a great story to tell — and it’s an exciting time for our industry. I’m thrilled to be part of it.”
The process of determining who wields the most power in radio begins several months in advance of the list’s publication. The editors and writers at Radio Ink conduct research into the companies and individuals being considered, looking at annual sales, the number of stations, the number of employees, and power ratios of billing per station. High-level industry insiders and respected observers are also queried for analyses and perspective on those they believe are influencing, leading, and shaping the industry today. The list is drafted and redrafted numerous times, right up until press time.
“That the Top 40 Most Powerful list is the most definitive look at the power brokers of radio is no surprise,” Radio Ink EVP/GM T.J. Lambert said. “The hard work of the selection committee identifies the most powerful in a thoughtful and exceedingly careful process. This list gets its relevance and importance from the people who comprise a list that has been the benchmark of our industry for nearly 20 years.”
