Radio Ink has released its 18th annual list of the 40 Most
Powerful People in Radio.
Clear Channel CEO Bob Pittman heads the list at number one,
marking the third consecutive year he’s topped the chart. “Bob Pittman is
transforming Clear Channel, and, as a result, impacting all of radio,” Radio
Ink Publisher B. Eric Rhoads said.
“His influence ripples throughout the
industry with every new innovation and decision.”

Pittman said, “Being selected as one of the Top 40 Most
Powerful People in Radio with these other amazing industry leaders is a great
honor. The future is great for radio, and it continues to thrive as our
industry evolves. We continue to have a great story to tell — and it’s an
exciting time for our industry. I’m thrilled to be part of it.”
The process of determining who wields the most power in
radio begins several months in advance of the list’s publication. The editors
and writers at Radio Ink conduct research into the companies and individuals
being considered, looking at annual sales, the number of stations, the number
of employees, and power ratios of billing per station. High-level industry
insiders and respected observers are also queried for analyses and perspective
on those they believe are influencing, leading, and shaping the industry today.
