1. The amount of Radio jobs in Canada (where my students are getting jobs) over the last 10 years is pretty flat (about a 1% decline). And that's ALL jobs in radio, not just announcing.
2. The amount of radio stations have increased in the last 10 years. (Less staff per station, but more radio stations in Canada)
3. The jobs ARE changing. Each position now has more responsibilities than it did 10 years ago.
So when I wrote, "There are the same (or more) amount of jobs, but the jobs are different", the line that you attacked...I was right.
So, I'll leave it at that. As you said...I honestly don't even know why I am bothering to comment. But, judging by your antagonist approach, I'm sure you'll want to have the last word.
At least if you wanna go call bingo games, you know you have the skills to do it. (Oh, my apologies...was the un-Canadian of me too?) I'm sorry! My advice Rob, go back and read the headline for the article. Have a nice day!Post is under moderationStream item published successfully. Item will now be visible on your stream. -

Hi Rob, it's too bad you didn't do any research (as I've done) before you commented. In my class, that's a re-do.
In Canada, in the 90's there were approximately 10,000 radio jobs. AND today? There are just over 10,000 jobs in radio. (I'm not good at math, but I think that's the same number?)...MoreHi Rob, it's too bad you didn't do any research (as I've done) before you commented. In my class, that's a re-do.

The first link below shows there was about a 1% decrease in jobs in radio in the last 10 years. ONE PER CENT! Again, not good at math, but that's pretty close!
AND, yes the jobs are the same (or actually slightly increasing) in the States as well. Below in the link from the Bureau of Labor Statistics that says, there is a 1% percent increase in jobs expected in the next 10 years in this vocation.
And the number of radio stations in Canada are much more than in the 90's. Both in Canada...AND in the US.
SO...when the author (ME) says "there are the same amount of jobs (or more) in radio"...I guess I was right after all Rob! Thanks for coming out though, what do we have for him Jim!

Q It Up: When it comes to spec spots, what guidelines and policies do you have in place for the salespeople? How much time do you require to produce a spec spot? How many do you produce in an average week or month? Are there any incentives in place as rewards when spec spots result in sales? Please ...
