Talkers: Michael Harrison's Fireside Chat With John Dickey

Michael Harrison, John Dickey
Billed as a “Fireside Chat” in one of the keynote sessions of the just-concluded Talkers New York 2015 convention, RadioInfo publisher Michael Harrison conducted a one-on-one conversation with Cumulus Media executive vice president of content & programming John Dickey.

In a series of what Dickey describes as “really tough questions,” Harrison asks him about a wide variety of subjects including how he handles the stress of being significantly responsible for the operation of one of the largest and most complex radio broadcasting companies in the history of the medium; whether or not the platform of radio can ever be accurately measured in terms of ratings; what position talk radio occupies within the overall Cumulus plan going forward; whether or not there is room for qualitative selling and non-traditional revenue generation at large, corporately owned stations; and if there is a future for the personality-oriented disc jockey in music radio, among other topics.
