Flipping The Script On Running Too Many Commercials
ALL ACCESS and our event partners at A&R WORLDWIDE are thrilled to roll out the WORLDWIDE RADIO SUMMIT 2019 AGENDA at a new location, CASTAWAY in BURBANK, The Media Capital Of The World, MARCH 27th, 28th, 29th.

Here's our panel of experts:

OPENING KEYNOTE – "Investing In Air Talent – The Key To Keeping Radio Vital & Valuable"
When listeners choose broadcast radio platforms, they are choosing a personalized entertainment source hosted by someone that they can relate to and bond with–an air talent who has more to say than the calls, their name, time, and how far away the next music sweep is. It’s what separates radio from streaming platforms … and air talent helps drive big revenue. Come listen to some of the biggest personalities on the radio and learn why air talent matters.

Streaming platforms are proliferating – APPLE MUSIC, SPOTIFY, PANDORA, SOUNDCLOUD, GOOGLE PLAY MUSIC, iHEARTRADIO, and AMAZON MUSIC are continuing to tap leading radio executives as they build out their programming agendas to compete against traditional radio; however, there is one element that is unique and the No.1 streaming, audio and visual platform worldwide – YouTube boasting 1.5 billion users a month!
