Radio Industry News Links

I've created this page as a handy personal reference for myself and other activists wishing to have a quick and easy way of identifying all the major players in the industry. If you have any suggestions for additional sites or columnists (especially folks local to your area that I might not know otherwise, please drop me a line at industry@savagestupidity.com).

After this is complete and has gotten some feedback, I intend apply to be an Open Directory Project editor and convert this page into an ODP project. At the moment, this is a crude and unpolished list of links that I've gathered, many of the sites I haven't even visited yet.
