The manager provided information about careers in radio, networking tools, radio studio operations, the business of radio, and journalism. In May 2019, a manager attended New York Market Radio (“NYMRAD”) Community Leaders Days at the Marriott Marquis in New York. At each event, approximately 14 community leaders from various nonprofit organizations discussed their views on matters of importance to the local community. We took these views into consideration when planning topics for shows.
