==Brief History==
==Publication history==
The publication was originally named "The Pulse of Broadcasting" and founded by broadcaster Tom Shovan and Alec Seymor. In 1985 radio broadcaster [[Eric Rhoads]] had been an advertiser promoting his [[Giant Boom Box]] promotional products to the radio industry. When he received no response to his advertising he flew to New York to meet with Publisher Shovan to find out why his advertising investment had failed. Shovan befriended Rhoads, shared the financial woes of the publication and got Rhoads interested in taking it over. Rhoads then met with owner [[Bob Sillerman]] and acquired the struggling magazine. Rhoads changed the name to [[The Pulse of Radio]]because of a class-action lawsuit against all publications named "Pulse" by [[Tower Records]] who was launching a national magazine called "Pulse." Though Rhoads owned copyrights he felt the magazine needed to sheding the image of the previous publisher, therefore he negotiated with Tower Records founder [[Russ Soloman]] allowing ample time to change the name and transition. Rhoads changed the name to RADIO INK. Radio Ink was the name of a gossip column inside "The Pulse" at the time, a name invented by Rhoads mentor and consultant [[Dwight Case]], who suggested the magazine be renamed Radio Ink.
