it is not a secret that we love radio at c. crane. we can’t imagine what life would be like without it. it's hard to believe that, not too long ago, radio was the only wide spread audio source available. other technologies have taken away about 10% of the radio audience. we are aware that local radio stations, in every city, deliver information to their listeners that cannot be found elsewhere, except on the internet perhaps. we know that when the power goes out, radio is still there. when the internet goes down, radio is still there. for these reasons and many others, radio still commands a huge audience and we have a certain devotion to this technology. we wonder if there is a kid out there tuning in a distant am station for the first time; the thought makes us smile.
