Black Web 2.0: Radio One Reports Loss, May Sell Non-Black Sites

  • L Martin Johnson Pratt · 1 year ago
    Not one to say i told you so but I TOLD THEM SO. Instead of being a great radio company they have said over and over and over they need to be a media company to compete haHAHA pleasssee if they cant capitalize on their own initial industry how the heck are they going to come online and capitalize and i know the management/owners at Community Connects so i guess there will be a serious disconnect if they do decide to sell off the other properties - CC worked well because they were able to offer advertisers all 3 communities -AA, Asian, Latino that is the new majority sooner than 2050 so you had/have a one stop shop. But ssssssh hopefully Al wont read this and he will continue down the same road towards self destruction.

    what a dangerous road to go down when all signs point to the increase of online advertising and mobile advertising. Radio One is silly to even consider ditching a Latino site when the Latino marketing is what every advertiser is after thess days. And sorry you can't just be a "black company" any more these days. That limits your earning potential...everyone has to realize that the true money is overseas. Radio One is not equipped to go get it.

    I was on the call and was disappointed when I heard him say that. There's potential with the other sites, they just need to find the right people to manager them. I purchased shares earlier this year and it took a major hit yesterday. I'm going to stick with them because I bought in at a low price. I hope TV One will do well in the next year.
