The Radio Industry
by Alex Cosper
I have spent years working in the radio industry as a Program Director, Music Director, Air Personality
and a big mix of other titles with multiple responsibilities. My story about how I led an independent alternative
radio station from bottom of the ratings to the top can be read at Playlist Research,
which is my radio, music and media research site.
This autobiography and report on how alternative radio became popular is called
The Rise of Alternative Radio. I talk about the
history of the alternative radio format and what was going on
nationally with modern rock in the nineties. Here are some links to other reports I've written about the radio industry:

Architect of Modern Rock
Clueless Radio
Freeform Radio History
The Legend of KZAP
