It is essential to analyze the media industry, and while there are many outlets a person is capable of accessing music, people still turn to their local radio. The literature indicates how the business of radio still exists with the primary competition of today. The study includes interviews from twelve radio professionals at Cox Media Group (CMG) Orlando, the home of seven different format radio stations.

Supporting Our Destination's Ongoing Recovery
Q3 2020 Supporting Our Destination’s Ongoing Recovery The third quarter of 2020 continued our destination’s slow, steady recovery from the economic fallout caused by COVID-19. After being closed four months, Disney’s theme parks reopened at limited capacity in mid-July, joining Universal, SeaWorld and other attractions that had reopened in June. Buoyed by relatively strong holiday and weekend travel from regional drive markets — the target of Visit Orlando’s marketing and publicity efforts — hotel occupancy and Tourist Development Tax continued their upward trajectories. Working closely with Mayor Demings and Orange County’s Economic Recovery Task Force, Visit Orlando played a key role in developing and promoting our region’s popular, highly effective health campaign: Safer, Stronger, Together. Other successful initiatives were Off to Orlando, which encouraged Florida resident “state-cations” by showcasing open-air experiences, affordability and new safety measures, and our #LoveOrlando campaign, which used social content from our fan base to promote visitors’ many positive experiences. Visit Orlando’s 15th annual Magical Dining kicked off to great fanfare in late August. This year’s program included over 70 member restaurants and outdoor/takeout options, with donations benefitting local nonprofit Feed the Need Florida. For the first time, Magical Dining was extended through the end of October, allowing four more weeks of impactful support for Orlando’s restaurant industry. While leisure travel kept returning in gradual fashion, the Meetings & Conventions sector remained much harder hit. Still, July did see the return of safe, large-scale events at the Orange County Convention Center, which hosted the AAU Junior Volleyball Nationals and Together Again Expo.
