Revamping Radio
Traditional radio operators are losing out to MP3 players and Internet and satellite alternatives. How can an industry that was established in the 1920s and '30s revamp itself and become relevant again? Joining us is Paul Heine, executive editor of Billboard Radio Monitor. Roots rockers The Wood Brothers consist of Oliver and Chris Wood, musical siblings with credentials in blues, soul, gospel and country music. Chris plays bass in the progressive-jazz outfit Medeski, Martin and Wood; singer-guitarist Oliver has performed with blues-rock bands in Atlanta. Together, their new album is called "Ways Not to Lose," and they join us with a preview. And finally, a visit with piano impresario and boxing trainer, Francis Romano.
