Nationwide — Veteran broadcaster Kingsley H. Smith worries that community-focused radio has seen better days. The award-winning program director and announcer has written
Smith’s radio history spans four decades of engagement at Black, top 40, and public radio stations. His stories chronicle life as an on-air performer. His important management choices summarize significant decisions affecting the lives of radio staff and the entertainment options of radio listeners.
Black radio history is given ample discussion. Smith offers detailed observations about a now-stressed radio industry from an insider’s point of view. The author explains exactly what public radio is, refuting common stereotypes that cause general confusion.
This memoir is a playbook about how an outsider, raised by a single Black mother, broke into an extremely competitive profession. Readers will learn how he excelled in commercial radio, public radio, online streaming, and satellite radio.
Today, on-air jobs are being eliminated. Automation is replacing the apprentice. Entry-level positions are vanishing. High standards are deteriorating. Smith offers specific strategies for those with ambition who want to break through all forms of the glass ceiling.
