Media, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/14/2016 -- Media Life Magazine recently published an article that sheds light on the maturation of the SportsTalk radio platform. The write-up by Diego Vasquez features a number of quotes by The Radio Agency's founder and CEO, Mark Lipsky, who shared his views and expertise on the subject. Lipsky heads up a leading direct response radio advertising firm, and in the interview, he delved into SportsTalk's evolution overall, and how the SportsTalk Radio format survived its growing pains to become an integral part of radio programming in every major U.S. market.
To paraphrase Vasquez's argument, his article asserts that since its infancy, sports radio has come a long way, offering "more intelligent" programing, "reporting, news and discussion" than ever before.
Lipsky agreed with the article's overall sentiment, noting sports talk has "become more sophisticated." He largely credited programmers as responsible for discerning "what makes fans listen and how to keep them listening longer." Unlike the first generation of SportsTalk stations, today's programming features deep access to coaches, players and other on-air experts who keep the content fresh and engaging.
"And with better, more listenable content come more widespread audiences," said Lipsky in regard to the write-up. "And, of course, with larger audiences come more eager advertisers."
Lipsky delved extensively into the role of advertising on SportsTalk in the Media Life write-up, including discussion of pricing for advertising inventory at the national level versus local markets. According to the radio advertising agency founder, national ads are less expensive than local marketing on a cost-per-impression basis.
