      Pros

      The market is in Detroit. Top 10 market, good exposure.

      Cons

      Management is not effective. Radio One Detroit is a 3-station cluster that needs a Program Director that can effectively manage them and all the departments together that come with them simultaneously. There is a disconnect in communication between departments. No one knows what the other is doing.

      This company is like Blockbuster, right before Netflix and Redbox became the norm. . . . .

      Pros

      While the luster of Radio is slowly fading, it is still somewhat of a viable platform to promote your product.

      Cons

      The problem with Radio One is that they are disconnected from their target audience. You have managers who run the company like it's 1990, and not 2015. They have no clue as to how the industry is moving. In today's world; Media & Tech companies go hand & hand; with apps like Pandora & Tune In. Nowadays, internet bloggers, who have no promotion, are more popular than most radio personalities. And even if you have an internet presence, which they don't; your sales team is ill equipped to sale it.
