Big Joe Staysniak suspended – there was a more creative and productive way to handle this
June 5, 2020
June 5, 2020
Emmis Communications has suspended Big Joe Staysniak for one week without pay for his comments Wednesday about race. This is what traditionally happens in talk radio when comments by a host elicit outrage – get the host off the air to show there are consequences for uttering a series of statements that enflame the community.

Why were Drew Brees and Big Joe Staysniak wrong? Here’s my answer – and Michael Grady’s eloquent call for empathy
June 5, 2020
Because I am in the middle of two dozen social media and text exchanges where I have been asked, “What’s wrong with what Drew Brees said?” and “What’s wrong with what Big Joe Staysniak said?” I assume others are asking the same questions. I’ll offer an answer here. They were wrong because this is a time […]

Michael Grady will be honored as the Indiana Sportscaster of the Year by the Indiana Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association Sunday night, and I’m certain the decision to bestow upon him that award was as simple as my decision to hire him just over a decade ago as a board-op on WIBC Radio in Indianapolis.

September 30, 2013
It’s the last day of the month, so it’s time to update the Twitter rankings for the Indianapolis media.

With every opportunity that passes to build a brand, the value of that brand recedes. […]

by Kent Sterling Twitter is fascinating. Real time and precise measurement of audience is not something I’m familiar with having been in radio for years. It’s also a fun and immediate mode of communication with an audience who then can immediately reply directly. Those you want to read, you follow. Those you don’t want to […]
Riley Cooper’s Mess Might Be Society’s Gain – Conversation Can Yield Wisdom
August 2, 2013
August 2, 2013
by Kent Sterling Riley Cooper did himself no favors when he threatened a black security guard while using the N-word at a Kenny Chesney concert in June, but the dialogue prompted by his idiocy is a very good thing.

by Kent Sterling No one really knows how many people are watching TV or listening to the radio. The ratings methodologies are flawed as hell, and are only accurate over an extended period of time. With Twitter, there is no doubt about the accuracy, so when I started doing a little research on a piece […]
Kravitz & Eddie Keep Getting It Done

by Kent Sterling Building The Fan was endless fun and presented a series of challenges that were as puzzling as they were predictable. Anytime a radio station automates even a single daypart – for those who are radio neophytes, automation means a computer is in charge of the audio – there is a huge risk of double-audio, dead […]
