Radio Ink: Difference between revisions

Each year the publication creates several annual lists, including a list of the "40 Most Powerful People in Radio" made up of a who's who of the radio industry. It also created the "Most Influential Women (MIW) in Radio" list, which was turned into a mentoring program{{Fact|date=October 2007}} for women in the radio industry. Other lists include top managers, top radio programmers, top engineers, top African-American broadcasters, and several others.

The publication, originally named ''The Pulse of Broadcasting'', was founded by broadcaster Tom Shovan and Ellek Seymour. In 1985, radio broadcaster [[Eric Rhoads]] became friendly with Shovan, and met with owner [[Bob Sillerman]] to acquire the struggling magazine. Rhoads changed the name to ''[[The Pulse of Radio]]'' because of a class-action lawsuit by [[Tower Records]] — which was launching the national magazine ''[[Pulse (magazine)|Pulse]]'' — against all publications named "Pulse". Rhoads negotiated with Tower Records founder [[Russ Soloman]] and changed the name of ''The Pulse of Broadcasting'' to ''Radio Ink'', previously the name of a gossip column in the magazine. Consultant [[Dwight Case]] suggested the magazine be renamed ''Radio Ink''.{{Fact|date=October 2007}}
