America's Best & Worst Radio Groups Tuesday, March 22, 2011 By Jerry Del Colliano I am often asked which radio group would you work for if you wanted a career in radio.  That would be the one with the best management and best chance to succeed. A lot has happened since I ranked the best and worst including bankruptcies, mergers, key station acquisitions, critical personnel changes and even luck.  For four years I’ve been getting hundreds of emails a week on the inner workings of radio’s major groups. So here is my latest list of the best and worst radio groups. In this article I’ll reveal … •  What formerly worst group has finally made it to the best list and why they are no longer the worst. •  The top 8 major radio groups -- what makes them strong and what their future looks like. •  The three worst radio groups on the planet – at least in the U.S.  You may think you know which three I am talking about but you would be wrong.  I’ve got a big surprise for you and I’ll explain why. •  The group I think has the inside track on being the number one best 12 months from now. •  What toxic radio groups to avoid if you’re planning to stick around and have a career in radio. I start counting down the best and worst radio groups in order – right here.
