Total sample size is 400 persons weekly, with a margin of error of plus or minus 5%. Scoring is done each week using live interviewers conducting an interview with each respondent. Scores are: 5) I like it a lot; in fact, it's one of my favorites; 4) I like it; 3) It's OK, just so-so; 2) I don't like it; and 1) I strongly dislike it. The index score is an average of all 1-to-5 scores. The total positive score is an aggregate of the 4 and 5 scores. To be included in weekly callout, songs must have entered the top 40 positions on R&R's Country airplay chart. The sample is composed of 400 25-54-year-olds who identify country as their favorite music and who listen daily to competitive Country radio in the sample markets. The sample is 50% male/female and evenly distributed in the 25-34, 35-44 and 45-54 demos. The sample is balanced by region and markets within each region.

e n 2002 Dan Mason decided to retire as President of Infinity Radio, a position that don't have to focus for several days at a time on one goal. I can focus small amounts of 1 most people in the business would consider the pinnacle of a career. As President of time on many goals. Having all my tentacles in the business helps keep me focused and his own company, Mason currently serves as an adviser and consultant to helps keep me out there. I can find new technologies in Holland, I can talk to a man in companies in the radio industry both domestically and internationally.

I don't have the answer yet, but I never say never." an announcement that no one from my street could win anymore. The future of terrestrial radio: "In the '60s and '70s, and even through the '80s, the "I used to send Johnny critiques of all of his disc jockeys on WAKY, and I'm sure it programming department and programmers in general were far ahead of sales departments drove him crazy that some 14-year-old kid was critiquing his airstaff.

But through the '90s and early 2000s sales that community and that radio station." departments became very sophisticated. They got new tools, new techniques. His first job: "I worked at WEKY/Richmond, KY while attending Eastern Kentucky "There was a lot of corporate focus on that because stations were being undersold. University. I did an airshift on Sunday." Sales departments caught up because all that focus went into them. We have not focused Career background: "I came from the programming side of the business. During the on product as much as we should have for 10 to 15 years now. Where are the stories about 1970s and '80s there were lots of new opportunities and a lot of places for people to go. new prcgrammers and what they are doing? There was a lot of upward movement. After programming WZGC/Atlanta in the late '70s I "Imagine :f every station in, say, Seattle aggressively advertised their product on went to KTSA/San Antonio as GM. I made the decision to be on the business side. I was television and billboards. Wouldn't that raise listening levels? Absolutely, it would.

I let's say that every station in Seattle put a moratorium on advertising for the next five think I would have moved to Alaska to be a GM. years. Would the stations have the same amount of listening? "I returned to First Media Corporation, where I No. So the answer is putting focus on the product. If we programmed WPGC/Washington, then became Houston GM. I want more listeners, we have to invest more in the product." stayed there eight years and rose to Exec. VP of the company. Finding tomorrow's stars: "Those jobs that all of us had We sold the company to Cook Inlet, and I became President. in radio early on were bad and paid virtually nothing, and We then sold Cook Inlet to Infinity and a few other radio those were the jobs that got eliminated down the road. But companies, and that's when I went to work for Westinghouse, those were also the jobs that got us into the industry. Maybe in 1993, as President of Group W. HD2 will be the answer to finding new talent. "We merged with CBS in '95, and I became President of "Our client in Romania had a great idea: He thought CBS Radio. We merged with Infinity in 1997, where Mel American companies should put HD Radio channels in the Karmazin and I came together. I was President of Infinity hands of high school kids and let them program them in until I retired in 2002, but I still consult CBS." order to drive young people to radio. It is a great idea.

I can honestly say that I learned from and it didn't. It wasn't working, so I thought the healthy everybody I ever worked for." thing to do was to step back, regroup and go back in again, which is what I did. Career highlight: "I'm proud of the way the Westinghouse/CBS merger came about. "At Infinity I was the head of the line. Picture all the group heads lined up, and our People were treated with dignity and respect. Believe it or not, I can't recall one lawsuit job every day was to climb to the top of a building. We climbed that building every day coming out of that whole merger." for years, and nothing changed. Then one day somebody poured grease down the sides of Career disappointment: "There have been several. Sometimes the radio station's the building. I was first in line and kept trying to climb it and couldn't. I got tired and problems get bigger than the people involved. That just happens. We struggle so much to walked away.

Everybody's trying to climb that building with grease on it, turned around — heritage stations — but they couldn't be." and we sit and wonder why we can't. Favorite radio format: "Hits, regardless of the format." "We have to recognize that our industry is at a plateau, just like a career. We have to Favorite television show: "The Office.
