"I still consider myself an agent for change," says Stinehour. "We have been through dramatic changes in the radio industry since consolidation and while some have been painful, the majority have been
for the best. We are going to be living and working in a constant state of "whitewater" as noted author Steven Covey describes it. Those leaders able to embrace change and put it to work positively will be successful and those who resist will be gone." She says that deregulation has allowed radio to offer customers better products and the sort of integrated marketing programs that were previously unavailable. "With each year that passes, more and more customers are learning to take advantage of what consolidation has to offer and many are seeing significant market share growth as a result."
