help for a student friend of mine, part 2

[Donna Halper]

Several of you wrote to Diane but when she tried to write back to you, her 
ISP kept bouncing the messages... she was curious as to whether any of you 
have had contact with black radio stations-- whether working in a chain 
that owns some or just as a listener.  If you have, how has media 
consolidation affected black radio? (This also includes jazz, urban, 
CHR/rhythmic, and formats where a lot of black music is played.)  Also, for 
those who have been in the industry for a while, other than the fact that 
Clear Channel owns just about everything, Diane wondered what other major 
changes you have noticed in radio over the past several decades.  I gave 
her my own list, but she wanted to speak with others employed in US 
broadcasting.  To expedite, could you send your replies to ME, and I will 
forward them to her, since my ISP seems to get along with hers for some odd 
reason... Thanx much!
