Hello, Guest

Doug Fleming

Radio-Info.com was founded by Doug Fleming in 1999 as a radio discussion forum and has survived his tragic death in 2005 to become "Radio's Online Community". It's built on the popular message-board framework Doug created and today provides both radio professionals and fans a valued source for news, expert commentary, and the lively industry gossip that radio thrives on. With online traffic growing rapidly, and Radio-Info quoted by the top news organizations in America when they're writing about radio—we think Doug would be proud of what he started.

In 2006, inspired by their son's passion for the radio industry and committed to honoring his legacy, Diana and Rick Fleming devised an ambitious new business model for a media company that would move well beyond the original web-based discussion board concept. Envisioning a comprehensive "online community" for all those in radio, they decided to complement the discussion boards with breaking industry news. In addition, they initiated an innovative programming project that allows for efficient moderation of hundreds of discussion forums with thousands of posts each day. To fund their plan, online advertising was introduced. Ultimately, the profit from this venture will be donated to various charitable organizations in Doug Fleming's honor.

Growing the Vision: In3media

In 2007, veteran broadcast journalists Tom Taylor and Dana Hall were hired and Radio-Info.com launched the daily e-newsletter "Taylor on Radio-Info". TRI has become a staple on desks and in email in-boxes for thousands of broadcast and related industry professionals, including radio's top management leaders and decision makers.

Dana Hall brings her experience as a journalist and broadcaster to the job of Executive Editor of the Radio-Info.com site. In addition to managing site content, she informs and inspires Urban broadcasters in the urban format each week in her newsletter "Urban First".

In 2009, Radio-Info expanded its editorial team with the addition of Sean Ross and Phyllis Stark. Twice a week, Sean brings his broad experience as a programmer, researcher, and broadcast journalist to his readers in the newsletter "Ross On Radio". Phyllis Stark makes use of her long history as a journalist, music industry leader and record company executive to bring a fresh approach to the insights of the country music community through her newsletter "Stark Country".

In 2010 "New & Now", an email update, was launched to help assist readers of Radio-Info.com stay relevant with the most current site news, articles and information. "News Talk Edge", written by experts in the arena of news/talk, debuted in May 2010 and provides its readership a unique perspective.

Recently Radio-Info.com began to explore the future of radio. New media expert Daniel Anstandig writes "connected", a weekly look at the new media frontier on behalf of radio and other facets of media.

Radio-Info.com has unique and helpful tools not offered by any other broadcast industry trade website, along with additional content and sections to better serve the user.
