Broadcast Dialogue – The Podcast: Radiodays North America wrap with Cheryl Foster, Randy Lennox & Kevin Barton

With Radiodays North America 2024 behind us, sometimes it’s the events around a conference that reflect ongoing confidence and optimism in the industry.

Cheryl Foster

The word “viability” has been thrown around a lot this year in regards to radio, but the first annual Pat Grierson Sales Person Award recipient is proof that success is possible even in a soft advertising climate, recording sales of $7 million in 2022. Cheryl Foster from Stingray’s 93.5 Today Radio (CFXJ-FM) and boom 97.3 (CHBM-FM) Toronto joins us to talk about her journey through the business and making a successful return to radio at age 50 after stepping away to raise her kids.

Kevin Barton & Randy Lennox

Randy Lennox and Kevin Barton from Loft Entertainment also join us to talk about acquiring Canadian Music Week (CMW) as founder and president Neill Dixon retires after 42 years with the music and radio industry conference.

More coverage of Radiodays North America 2024 to come.
