The Spartan Podcast - 3/15/05

On this week's Spartan Podcast, we congratulate WDBM-FM on being named MAB's College Radio Station of the Year for the fifth time in six years. We talk with Gary about what makes a great student station. Jeff analyzes GM's move to put 2.8 billion of advertising agency business in play. WDET says "no" to Ed Gordon while WUOM might say "yes". We talk about Donovan Reynolds' radio vision in Ann Arbor and why WKAR hasn't kept up. And Gary gives us the scoop on an upcoming announcement from the Bayliss Foundation.

Bill Castanier - Public Relations Consultant, Author, Columnist and Activist.
Gary Reid - Distinguished Professor of Telecommunications at Michigan State University.
