I have just finished reading this wonderful book. About my old friend Jerry Williams

Burning Up the Air

about Jerry Williams

On pg 30 of the March issue of Boston magazine. Joe Keohane, the magazine's "Contrarian" columnist, writes:
Long before Imus and Carr, there was Jerry Williams, a talk-radio pioneer who took aim at the Hub's politicians and the outrages they trafficked in. This bio (the authors are both former producers for Williams, who died 2003) makes like quality radio: no cheap superficiality, or lingering on any one point. Fast-paced and crisply written, it succeeds at Williams' rise and fall in vivid historical context. As the host would have wanted, there's no dead air in this show.

Radio Polling

According to a nationwide poll conducted by American Media Services, Americans are still listening to the radio as much as they always have. 72% say they're listening to the radio "As much or more now than they did five years ago.", 63% of adults listen to the radio every day, and among 25-34 adults, 79% tune in to radio at least once a day. 74% of Americans turn on the radio when they get in the car, including 72% of 18-24 adults and 80% of 25-34 years old. Satellite radio did not fare as well. The poll of1,017 adults, conducted earlier this month, found satellite radio subscriptions steady at about 11%--but 89% of respondents said they are unlikely to subscribe to satellite radio in the next 12 months.

With his biting wit and exceptional intellect, Dennis Miller's brand of comedy is distinctively his own. His unique blend of talents has carried him to great success as both a stand-up comedian and cable talk show host, and even through a stint with ABC's Monday night Football. But until now, Miller had never tried his hand at radio. Following in the footsteps of familiar TV talents who've made the leap to radio, Miller is tackling what he calls "The wide horizons of radio." behind the microphone on Westwood one's the Dennis Miller show. Here, the always outspoken Miller tackles a range of topics from what brought him to radio to why the war on terror must be won.
