Reviews / Votes
`Hendricks and Mims are to be congratulated for a superb update to Keith's long-successful text. Keith's Radio Station has been given a fresh makeover, written in a student friendly and engaging manner with every chapter updated to reflect the latest trends and issues in radio.' - Michael Brown, Professor, University of Wyoming, USA`In the current era, when we're bombarded by new media inventions, it's easy to forget that nothing replaces the ubiquity and potency of audio-whether it's distributed as traditional radio or via other platforms. Those who seek a thorough understanding of radio's borderless power and how to master it need to read the this-just-in (as we say on the radio) edition of Keith's Radio Station.' - Peter Laufer, James Wallace Chair in Journalism, University of Oregon, USA
`Hendricks and Mims took the pre-eminent book for future industry professionals and made it even more relevant for today's students. As their updates attest, the future of sponsored audio content (i.e., radio) has never looked brighter or been more deserving of study and practice.' - Dr. Joseph Blaney, Associate Dean, College of Arts and Sciences, Illinois State University, USA
`This edition is valuable to students given the authors' efforts to take a serious look at radio's future, mixing in essays from industry leaders, an examination of various listening devices, and a companion website that makes for significant collaboration between faculty and students.' - Joe Misiewicz, President/CEO, Indiana Broadcasters Association, USA
