andy Michaels is the most brilliantly competitive person I’ve ever
met during my entire radio career. He’d rather sever a limb than lose
a single ratings point to a competitor.

He’s responsible for some of the most extraordinary radio successes
in history.

He started in radio as an engineer. Back then, nobody ever heard of
him.

Then he became a disc jockey. Still, nobody ever heard of him.

It was when Randy became a program director that, suddenly, lots of
people started hearing about him.

Incredible, come-from-behind ratings successes against bigger, more
powerful, richer competitors.

His success took him to the top position in Jacor Broadcasting.
Jacor was a name to be feared — unless, of course, you didn’t work
in a market where you had to compete against them.

Example? You might have heard about this legendary feat. It really
happened:

Jacor bought a station in a Top 25 market, and Randy targeted the
Number One, supposedly “unbeatable” heritage station there.

Until then, no other company had even dared go up against that
station.

His station aired promos demanding that the #1 station pay the Jacor
station one million dollars — or Randy’s station would change formats
to compete directly with the #1 station.

Probably they should have paid the million bucks. Randy’s station
wiped out the #1 station in a single ratings book.

Because the leaders at the #1 station didn’t understand the
art of Positioning,
they did pretty much everything wrong in
trying defend against Randy’s attack.

The ultimate result? It was the (formerly) #1 station that ended up
changing its format!

This incident is detailed in the audio seminar that every radio station
programmer and every radio station manager needs to hear.

Who Needs To Learn From This Seminar?

Anyone who programs and/or manages a radio station in a
competitive market.

If you have competitors, download this audio seminar right now.

(And hope that your competitors are too complacent, too lazy, or too
busy resting on their laurels to learn the principles of Positioning as
they apply to radio...
from the master himself.)

Who Doesn’t Need To Learn From This Seminar?

If you don’t have any radio competitors — and know that you’ll never
have any competition — then I can’t honestly say that you need to
hear this.

So if you’ve got a guaranteed, exclusive monopoly on your radio
market — no competition allowed — you don’t “need” this audio
seminar.

But If You Have Competitors…
