***August 15, 2009 - New Mexico Broadcasters Assocation Convention: Valerie Geller presents: "Radio's Silver Lining: How to Survive & (even) Thrive in our New Reality" Creativity costs NOTHING. Now's the time to stretch all your talents -- Radio is still one of the most powerful ways to reach an audience. There's nothing else like the one-on-one connection you can have with a listener. But today's listeners don't really care if the relevant content comes out of a traditional terrestrial radio box, or your computer, phone or even the fillings in their teeth, if the content is compelling and informs, entertains, inspires, persuades and connects! FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Services) cites a battery operated RADIO, right next to bottled water and a candle and matches to put in a household emergency kit! Remember, what has always mattered in radio: what comes out of the speakers. Now is NOT the time to sweat the small stuff. In this programming session, geared for managers, programmers, news, on-air personalities and promotions people, along with all of the "multiple-job folks - on air-programmers who also write copy, pull air shifts, do news and sell, you'll come away with dozens of new and practical ideas - to help you work, focusing on the benefits of this "less-is-more" atmosphere and to successfully create powerful radio in a world of working across multiple platforms. Learn techniques to maximize ALL of your talents and abilities to get, keep and grow audiences (and revenue) for your station! !

Creativity costs nothing.

Remember what has always mattered in radio – what comes out of the speakers.
