Pat Holiday's Great Case for Radio

Pat Holiday has spent 9 years away from work inside a physical
radi station. In that time he has seen that its issues remain the
same and there is both good and bad in that. He moderated the
Broadcast Leadership panel "Like a Boss" at Canadian Music Week
and did not serve up any softballs, but he did admit to leaving a
few fast balls on the table. From his iconic beginnings at the
Big 8 at CKLW in Detroit, to working in three Canadian cities in
management, Pat has a knack for taking a market's temperature and
reflecting it in the radio station he champions. He readily
admits that radio has changed but things are not as bad as they
seem, and radio is perhaps fixing the product at the wrong end.


Update 2021: Pat has started a Program Director's course.
