About AudioGraphics.com went up in 1997 to report how the internet affects broadcasting. AG is a Google News and MSN News source. Prior to shifting focus towards the internet, Audio Graphics produced radio and television commercial campaigns since 1991. In 1997 it became a participant in the online radio industry. Come 2001, Audio Graphics organized a group of online radio stations to survey their audiences for creating psychographic profiles of listeners. RRadio Network surveys remain the only continuously-served radio surveys online. We are currently working with widely acclaimed Borrell Associates in managing these surveys. Our second focus is on helping independent artists be heard by online radio station owners. (For a few years in the mid-70s, I had the good fortune of being affiliated with various recording studios in Muscle Shoals, AL.) Audio Graphics exists to show the possibilities of merging the internet with broadcasting - particularly radio. Over the years I have produced, written, or acted as talent in well over 10,000 broadcast commercials, managed radio properties, sold advertising, and been on-air in Cleveland, Ohio for nearly two decades. I am fluent in various analytic programs, keyword ad buying, search engine optimizing, and internet marketing via Google Base, MSN Live, and Yahoo! Merchant Solutions. I've also created the software code used for AG web sites (and many other companies' web sites), and write the articles published at AudioGraphics.com. Here you'll get the good and bad of each topic, in its relation to radio. Having worked with David Saperstein in the early days of Metro Networks, and later, as part of management putting SportsRadio, WKNR, Cleveland on the air (the fifth sports talk radio station in the nation), I have twice before found that new ideas are not quickly embraced. This time around, with the internet, and with a just completed 4 year stint as SVP of a global leader in internet radio and ad insertion software and technology, I appreciate the opportunity to help clarify the change. This time around there's a lot more at stake. Ken Dardis President, Audio Graphics, Inc. 440-564-7437
